This original play written and directed by James Hansen Prince looks at the deadly fire of Nov. 28, 1942 that tore through the Cocoanut Grove nightclub in Boston, killing nearly 500 people. The show, which has been performed previously in both Richardson and Boston, explores the events of that tragic night, the heroism shown in the face of disaster, and the lasting changes in fire safety laws that followed.
