I may direct this at our high school, but I'm not so sure about the whole fire finale. How did your schools do this? Obviously you didn't use real fire. Any help? Thanks!

Haha we performed this in my freshman year, and our theatre has two large screens on the sides of the walls for slideshows or meetings, so our Player who held the flame made a video of him standing with a match that he lit and slowly was engulfed by fire all around him, so when it came time for the 'finale' he said all the things about looking at the flame, and seeing the flame, and then he said, "Now look at the screens!!" And the slideshow played. When it was over, our Pippin looked at him and said, "Thats it? It was just a trick! On a lousy slide-show!" And the audience loved it.
