Mr. Burns, A Post-Electric Play

Oct. 24-27, 30-Nov. 3
Titmus Theatre

By ANNE WASHBURN
Music by MICHAEL FRIEDMAN
Directed by Danica Jackson

Produced by special arrangement with Concord Theatricals

What will endure when the cataclysm arrives – when the grid fails, society crumbles, and we’re faced with the task of rebuilding? Anne Washburn’s imaginative dark comedy is an animated exploration of how the pop culture of one era might evolve into the mythology of another. 

Mr. Burns is a fun standalone production, but for a deeper dive into The Simpsons world, consider watching these recommended episodes beforehand available on Disney+ and other streaming services.

• Cape Feare : S5 E2
• The Springfield Files: S8 E10
• A Streetcar Named Marge: S4 E2


A Producing Series production.
