'Fahrenheit 451'

The Colorado Springs School (CSS) proudly presents its Fall Theatre Production of Fahrenheit 451 in the Louisa Performing Arts Center (LPAC).

About the Show:

Based on Fahrenheit 451, a 1953 dystopian novel by American writer Ray Bradbury.

It presents an American society where books have been personified and outlawed and \”firemen\” burn any that are found. Fahrenheit 451 is the temperature at which paper ignites.

Montag, a fireman, has worked as a civil servant for ten years burning books.

Lately he has become increasingly unsure about what he is doing and about his vegetable-like existence.

It is not until he meets 16-year-old Clarisse, who is filled with strange ideas, that he is led into a dangerous and highly combustible situation.

Now he must choose between continuing his nonexistent existence and risking everything for the right to think.
