When Petra, a government agent, arrives to investigate, Linden’s family—mother, father, uncle, aunt—must decide whether to save him at all costs or help bring him to justice. THE WAVE THAT SET THE FIRE explores the responsibility parents bear for the actions of their children and how the choices of previous generations affect those who come after.

Director: Kyle, when not catching up on sleep or laundry, can frequently be seen cleaning, selling tickets, acting, directing, and herding cats at MadLab. She’s been around since 2014 and they haven’t driven her away yet. Special thanks to Laura and Colleen for believing she could do this. Thanks to the cast for being amazing. To Kate, Michelle, and the whole crew for keeping on top of everything. And, to you, I guess? No, seriously, we couldn’t do this without you. Do you want a beer?

Stage Manager/Set Design: Kate Hawthorne would like to thank her thespian crocodile parents for not eating her when she first fell into the swamp. She has enjoyed a varied career in theatre by painting sets, designing hats, wrangling actors, and softly weeping in the sound booth. She still firmly believes that Samuel Beckett's crusty ghost needs to settle down and she hopes you enjoy the show!

You might have seen her in any of a number of MadLab productions, or just walking quickly through the building looking frazzled. She also works with OGProductions, Wild Women Writing, and the Short North Stage in her “free time”. (Insert raucous laughter here.)
