This season’s play is titled “A Mother’s Heart” and is set in Winona in 1918 during WW1. The story centers around four mothers who are all dealing with loss. Connie Billingsley’s son, Devotie Billingsley, was the first naval air casualty in 1913, so Connie is already familiar with the devastation of losing a child. Fearful of a similar loss, Sophia Pegues and Bettie Norwood struggle as they send their sons off to serve their country. Alma Dantzler carries on after the sudden loss of her husband. She and her children work to keep the family business going. Other stories include members of The Red Cross who help with the war effort, a contest between the Boy Scouts and the Campfire Girls to see who can sell the most Liberty Stamps, and the Spanish Influenza epidemic. These stories are filled with joy, sorrow, and humor as the community copes with what life has to offer.

Welcome to Hill Fire!
Hill Fire is a folk life play produced semi-annually by the Montgomery County Arts Council in Winona, Mississippi. It is based on the real stories of people who live in the South. A new play is locally written each year from collected stories and written history and depicts the lives, history, and traditions of Southerners and their families.
Hill Fire is the perfect venue for your tour group. During the first weekend in October, a group can take in the Carrollton Pilgrimage and a Hill Fire show. Just contact us and we will help set up your weekend.
