Fahrenheit 451 By Ray Bradbury Directed by Stephen Hamilton
Fall Performances ∙ November 13—November 30, 2025

Fahrenheit 451

A powerful and timely production that brings Ray Bradbury’s classic to life. What happens when books burn — and with them, the freedom to think?

What happens when books burn—and with them, the freedom to think?

Ray Bradbury’s searing classic, Fahrenheit 451, blazes to life on the Bay Street stage in a gripping new production directed by Stephen Hamilton. In a world where firemen ignite flames instead of fighting them, one man dares to question the system. Caught between his duty and his conscience, he embarks on a dangerous journey of discovery that feels more urgent than ever.

This timely and haunting story asks: what happens to a society that silences ideas? Bradbury’s cautionary tale, written in 1953, still burns with relevance today, as questions of censorship, free expression, and truth itself dominate our national conversation.

Fahrenheit 451 promises an unforgettable night of thought-provoking theater.

Don’t miss this chance to experience one of the most powerful works of American literature on stage.
