Where There's Smoke: Ilium Burns

Step inside. Fall into our stories. Live the last before the last. We are all made of the same cosmic dust. We exist in cycles of order and disorder, exchanging energy. But, like the dying embers of a fire, the last drink of a long night, or the eventual burnout of our sun, everything must come to an end. Troy Foundry Theatre is once again devising a world-premiere piece of theatre using the city of Troy, NY and its unique history as a narrative backdrop. Inspired by the events and the social context surrounding the Great Fire of 1862 in Troy, NY, Where There’s Smoke: Ilium Burns will bring the audience into an immersive world of American cataclysms, both internal and external with characters spanning from the Civil War to Present Day using the historic Trojan Hotel (41 3rd St. Troy, NY 12180) as our playground. ***Vaccination and Mask Policy*** For the safety of the actors and guests, masks must be worn at all times. Guests will need to be fully vaccinated with an FDA or WHO authorized vaccine in order to attend a show and must show proof of vaccination at their time of entry into the theatre with their valid ticket. “Fully vaccinated” means the performance date must be at least 14 days after the second dose of a two-dose COVID-19 vaccine, or at least 14 days after a single-dose COVID-19 vaccine.
