性视界传媒 Arts Centre is where  hits the stage next winter, but right now, this summer, the show is bringing some heat to the Granville Island Stage of Arts Club Theatre Company.

There are some very hot musicians in this "theatrical concert," which features the strummin', singin' and drummin' sextet of Devon Busswood, Frankie Cottrell, Daniel Deorksen, Tainui Kuru, Patrick Metzger and Caitriona Murphy.

The production is based on the life and music of Johnny Cash, of course, but it's less about the Man in Black's rags-to-riches story than his songs, 20 in total. There is no actor-to-actor talk, just full-front dialogue from characters facing the audience, with multiple roles for all.

鈥淩ing of Fire isn鈥檛 about impersonating Johnny Cash," notes Ashlie Corcoran, Arts Club artistic director, "it鈥檚 about celebrating his life through the musicianship of our performers and their incredible talent for sharing a foot-stomping, crowd-pleasing musical journey. This show is the perfect summer entertainment."

She's not wrong.
