Boise State Theatre Arts: Fahrenheit 451

Boise State Theatre Arts: Fahrenheit 451 at Danny Peterson Theatre at the Morrison Center

What would it take to question a job you’ve always thought was right? In Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, fireman Guy Montag starts asking that question in a society that burns books. Boise State Theatre Arts brings the story to Danny Peterson Theatre at the Morrison Center as a staged reading on February 6, 2027, at 7:30 PM.

The reading gives you a chance to follow the story through the voices in the room. Listen for what changes as Montag begins to doubt his role. Someone who knows the novel may be waiting for a turning point. Someone hearing the story for the first time can follow how its questions build. Both are good reasons to spend time with the work in a theater.

If your book group has read Bradbury, make this an outing together and compare what stood out afterward. If you’ve been meaning to pick up the book, the reading gives you a way into the story and a question to take home: what would make you protect an idea you were taught to fear?

A staged reading also leaves room for two people to picture the same moment differently. Ask the person beside you what they imagined when Montag first began to doubt his work.
