The place is the small Mississippi town of Brookhaven, the time a few days before the Fourth of July. Carnelle Scott (known locally as “Miss Hot Tamale") is rehearsing furiously for the Miss Firecracker Contest—hoping that a victory will salvage her tarnished reputation and allow her to leave town in a blaze of glory.

Audience talkback afterwards with the playwright
An award-winning play by local playwright Lillian Furlong, More Lasting Than Bronze is a sapphic retelling of the myth of Artemis and Orion. Inspired by the playwright’s love of mythology and storytelling, it explores love, sacrifice, and what it means to be human.
