FIREFLIES
By Matthew Barber
From the novel Eleanor and Abel by Annette Sanford
Directed by Paul Mason Barnes
“Fireflies is FUNNY, HEART-WARMING, and makes for
an ENCHANTING evening!” – ShowRiz
A warm and heartfelt romantic comedy about second chances, Fireflies follows a retired teacher whose quiet life is transformed by the arrival of a mysterious drifter in her small Texas town. Based on a celebrated novel and filled with humor, heart, and moments of surprising grace, Fireflies is a tender reminder that it’s never too late to rediscover joy, companionship, and the courage to let yourself be seen.
