Details:
Hearts On Fire was created and written by Jack Donner. "How did it begin" starts you on a fabulous journey through the powerful voices, thoughts and feelings of many characters from everyday life, all performed by actors Jody Jaress and Jack Donner, backed by the dynamic music of Byron Thames. Even "little brain cells,â babies, everywoman, everyman, workers, elders, parents, the hilarious but Dark Queen who invents human misery, they all speak from their hearts what many if not most feel: what we donât like, what we demand, our hopes and dreams. Laugh, cry, wonder as you take this journey and donât be surprised if your own heart isnât lit up.

Dramatic and often hilarious "Hearts on Fire" lets these everyday characters boldly speak out against the daily wrongs that most of us feel and think but dare not voice. The listener is given a brief and exciting glimpse of the evolution of humankind, and how the comical yet evil Queen invents the ills that mess up society. In the end âHearts On Fireâ is inspirational and uplifting.

All the voices are performed by veteran actors Jack Donner and Jody Jaress.
