The Greensboro Opera House will present the play “Fireball” on Sunday, April 12, at 3:00 p.m. Admission is free, with a reception following.
“Fireball” is a single-actor play dramatizing the true story of Hazel Lindsey, a Tennessee plow girl who survived poverty, abuse, and eleven husbands with wit, wisdom, and tenacity.
The play was written by dramatist and retired University of Montevallo professor Norman McMillan, a Hale County native, and is based on a book by his sister, Julia McMillan Walker, who recently returned to the county and now lives in Newbern. The Greensboro performance will be the first since the play’s premiere in Montevallo.
“Fireball” is the first of three events in the Opera House’s 2026 drama season, “Twice-Told Tales,” celebrating the tradition of storytelling. The season is made possible in part by a grant from the Alabama State Council on the Arts.
