WHO: Christine Dunford
WHAT: Burn Scar
WHERE: Theatre of Note, 1517 N. Cahuenga Blvd.
WHY: Because every Angeleno experienced or watched in horror the January 7 Palisades and Eaton Fires. Because Christine Dunford reveals the rawness of loss and the evolution beyond cynicism. Because she takes us on a harrowing journey up and down a one-lane road in the Palisades to PCH while the mountains around her home burned. Because “When you stand with your back to the apocalypse, you can see the beach.” Because tragedy reveals the helpers.
Because Christine crafts a dynamic emotional ride from grabbing her go bag, to waiting down the hill with her dogs for her husband who doubles back to their home to save it from the 40-foot pine tree that will destroy it and the neighbor’s home. Because she blends personal tragedy, moments of comedy, and the required humor and fortitude it takes to battle bubbly insurance adjusters on a mission to delay, deny, and defend.
