Come experience the magic of Mississippi, the deep south…

Down a lonely stretch of road in the middle of the woods… a small town just past the turn-of-the-century; it’s inhabitants haunted by memories of days gone by and lost in time. Love, hate, greed, honor, jealousy, humiliation. The fortune-teller, the preacher, the piano teacher, the young doctor, the widow, the flapper, the captain, the outcast, the righteous… angels, devils, ghosts… and three young lovers whose lives, losses, hopes, tragedies and dreams set into motion a chain events that haunts the town’s inhabitants forever. Bigotry, friendship, prejudice, revenge… good versus evil. The cemetery, a church house, a motorcar, a medal... long hot nights, forbidden loves, family secrets, haunting melodies, rousing hymns, hell fire and damnation…welcome to Burnt Fields.

Burnt Fields… a hypnotic and tender lesson for life.

The cemetery serves as the lead character in the play and the souls that inhabit it are its supporting players. The play is set in the fictionalized small town of Burnt Fields, Mississippi; a dot on a map off an old country road located between the small towns of Fairview and Sandy Springs (9 miles NE of Fulton). Whether a town truly existed at this location is still speculation but a church and a cemetery exist there to this day, with tombstones dating back to the 1800s.
