Itâs the height of the winter social season, the General Assembly is in session, and many of Virginiaâs gentleman planters, along with their wives and children, have made the long and arduous journey to the capital in hopes of whiling away the darkest days of the year. At the cityâs only theater, the Charleston-based Placide & Green Company puts on two plays a night to meet the demand of a populace thatâs done looking for enlightenment at the front of a church. On the night after Christmas, the theater is packed with more than six hundred holiday revelers. In the third-floor boxes, sits newly-widowed Sally Henry Campbell, who is glad for any opportunity to relive the happy times she shared with her husband. One floor away, in the colored gallery, Cecily Patterson doesnât give a whit about the play but is grateful for a four-hour reprieve from a life that has recently gone from bad to worse. Backstage, young stagehand Jack Gibson hopes that, if he can impress the theaterâs managers, heâll be offered a permanent job with the company. And on the other side of town, blacksmith Gilbert Hunt dreams of one day being able to bring his wife to the theater, but heâll have to buy her freedom first. When the theater goes up in flames in the middle of the performance, Sally, Cecily, Jack, and Gilbert make a series of split-second decisions that will not only affect their own lives but those of countless others. And in the days following the fire, as news of the disaster spreads across the United States, the paths of these four people will become forever intertwined. Based on the true story of Richmondâs theater fire, The House Is on Fire offers proof that sometimes, in the midst of great tragedy, we are offered our most preciousâand fleetingâchances at redemption. 541 $d 20230307. 650 4 $a Disasters $v Fiction. 650 $a Fires $v Fiction. 650 $a Redemption $v Fiction. 651 1 $a Virginia $x Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical Fiction. 655 7 $a Psychological Fiction. 941 $a 52 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710063129.0 952 $l CZPD706 $d 20240704010241.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240619010254.0 952 $l JKPC771 $d 20240611031359.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314025122.0 952 $l LHPD057 $d 20240307122028.0 $m FIC 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240127012117.0 952 $l SPPE104 $d 20240116010548.0 952 $l GVPC501 $d 20231222013314.0 952 $l YMPD532 $d 20231220010925.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20231219011056.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20231206012333.0 952 $l EZPE755 $d 20231128010057.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230916010036.0 952 $l DNPA403 $d 20230909011708.0 952 $l WQPA215 $d 20230905152155.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20230816011112.0 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20230816010536.0 952 $l YFPC572 $d 20230812011233.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20230802012148.0 952 $l WWPC305 $d 20230729010815.0 952 $l WUPB305 $d 20230718014449.0 952 $l LBPB837 $d 20230718014010.0 952 $l CGPC482 $d 20230714010038.0 952 $l KJPF566 $d 20230713014312.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230704012409.0 952 $l CIPB482 $d 20230622010604.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20230622010104.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20230621011543.0 952 $l CYPF706 $d 20230621010050.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20230617010112.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20230606011202.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20230602011644.0 952 $l DYPD423 $d 20230531010100.0 952 $l ZBPE245 $d 20230526011614.0 952 $l TNPD062 $d 20230524010849.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20230512010453.0 952 $l EXPC755 $d 20230505010159.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20230505010046.0 952 $l XBPE737 $d 20230504011002.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20230503013516.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20230502012139.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20230502011921.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20230502011534.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20230502010832.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230502010359.0 952 $l VOPB384 $d 20230421010207.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20230420010051.0 952 $l WKPE185 $d 20230418010807.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20230414010311.0 952 $l AEPA906 $d 20230411171111.0 $m Ad Fic 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20230404014438.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=ED997B74BF1111ED8AFE88FD4CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
