While Bonfire Theatre is not currently in active production, we invite you to explore the theatrical works that helped shape Bonfire’s storytelling roots in the previous stage productions of writer/director Miranda Spigener-Sapon.
The Flame (2017 – Santa Monica Revival)
The Flame marks the 20th-anniversary return to the stage of Miranda Spigener-Sapon’s acclaimed 1997 Off-Broadway production. Originally praised by The Village Voice in New York and by The Houston Press during its sister run at the NY Deli Theatre in Houston, the play returned two decades later for a sold-out engagement in Santa Monica—earning renewed praise from Matt Cooper in The Los Angeles Times.
Coffee with John (2018 – Valentine’s Day One-Night Performance)
Coffee with John debuted as a sold-out, one-night-only Valentine’s Day performance on February 14, 2018. Produced by Colleen McClafferty and Felipe Sapon, the play was adapted by Miranda Spigener-Sapon from her WCOP Shorts Showcase–winning short story and praised by Stephi Wild at Broadway World.
The Flame (1997 – Off-Broadway & Houston Runs)
The Flame premiered in September 1997 with simultaneous, sold-out productions at the Off-Broadway Bleecker Street Theatre in New York City and the NY Deli Theatre in Houston, earning praise from The Village Voice and The Houston Press.
