Fire on the Mountain

Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts - Main Stage
500 Castro Street Mountain View

True tales of coal miners in the heart of Appalachia fuel the rousing bluegrass musical Fire on the Mountain. With dialogue culled entirely from interviews with actual mining families, this foot-stomping tribute to American workers covers the highs and lows of an industry fraught with passion and pathos, where death and danger are a way of life, and where a tight-knit community of love and mutual respect is the thread that keeps it all together. From the creators of the Tony-nominated musical It Ain't Nothin' But the Blues, Fire on the Mountain brings the rhythms of Appalachian bluegrass to Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts, igniting the stage with the culture, hardships and heroics of life on the Blue Ridge.
