The show opens Friday at Rutherford High School s Performing Arts Center, 1000 School Ave., in Springfield. Performances will be at 7:30 p.m. March 12, 13, 18, 19, 20, 26 and 27; at 2 p.m. March 14, 21 and 28; and streaming online.

Three people died in the fire, which 12-year-old Taeden Johnson escaped. The Athens-Clarke County Coroner s Office identified the victims as 52-year-old Penny Fields, 35-year-old Penyada Fields and a 9-year-old girl as Mariah Fields.
Taeden was taken to a hospital with burn injuries that were described as not life-threatening, as well as some smoke inhalation.
A GoFundMe has been started for Taeden, which so far has raised more than $50,000 dollars. He has burn wounds on his face, elbow, and arm but he is smiling and I am so thankful for that. I was able to spend some time with him this afternoon once he was released from Piedmont Athens and while he is in shock about what happened, he is battling a lot of grief, Zac Hendrix, the GoFundMe creator and Taeden s mentor, wrote.
