Theatre--Performance

The Iberia Performing Arts League presents Acting Unlimited Inc.’s production of FIRE EYE, A new play by Daniel Povinelli.

Former President of the United States, Noah Jones, is nearing the end of his life -- and he’s having visions. He believes God has appointed him to cradle humanity through the Great Flood. Always larger-than-life, Noah finally appears to be cracking up. Or is he? His eldest daughter, Rachel, and his long-time political strategist,
Robert, are convinced it’s all an act, and that he’s actually getting better. But Noah’s physician, Elizabeth, believes otherwise. As Noah’s predicament grows more amusing -- and puzzling -- he springs another surprise: he demands a birthday party a year early -- to celebrate his impending death! Threaded through the comedic
interplay of Noah’s delusional conversations about the Ark and his preposterous push towards a birthday-party-to-end-all-birthday-parties, all must grapple with darker secrets from their interconnected pasts as they struggle to uncover the meaning of true forgiveness.
