Iberia Performing Arts League and Acting Unlimited Inc. present Fire Eye, a original new play by Daniel Povinelli, at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 13-15, 20-22 with 3 p.m. matinees Oct. 16 and 23 at the Essanee Theater, 126 Iberia St. in New Iberia.
The play stars Bruce Coen, Jack Robertson, Amanda Shackelford and Amy Williams and concerns a former President of the United States, Noah Jones, nearing the end of his life. Noah is having visions, believing 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.
