In five autobiographical vignettes, Charlayne Woodard tells the moving tale of her African-American family through three generations of love, struggle, and triumph. This NAACP award-winning play is a one-woman tour de force. Chosen as a “Recommended Young Adult Audiobook” by the Young Adult Library Services Association, a division of the American Library Association. Pretty Fire is the first of four one-woman shows by Woodard—including In Real Life, Neat, and The Night Watcher.

Recorded before a live audience at the Skirball Cultural Center, Los Angeles in June of 1999.
