About the play…
A post-apocalyptic tale of survival, passion, and… the enduring power of Bart Simpson. Across a devastated landscape, gangs of survivors band together to keep the pilot light of civilization burning, exchanging memories for currency as society rebuilds itself one Simpsons episode at a time. Told over three acts and several decades, Mr. Burns culminates in a DIY musical spectacular, suggesting that humanity’s path to redemption is as unexpected as it is inevitable. Regional Premiere.
