Description

Mr. Burns, a post-electric play explores a post-apocalyptic world where survivors find hope in remembering The Simpsons. The play, written by Anne Washburn and directed by Jeff Storer, ran from November 14th to 23rd. It unfolds in three acts, showing how storytelling and community can bring hope in a dark world. The recent pandemic has given the play deeper meaning, as audiences now share a common understanding of fear and grief. The play suggests that art, culture, and human connection are essential for navigating uncertainty and tragedy.
