PublicOverview
After the end of contemporary America, in a future without power, what survives? Mr. Burns, by Anne Washburn, investigates how theatre and storytelling tell us who we are and who we’ve been, explores pop culture’s survival and evolution under stress, and imagines a future for TV’s most enduring family. A darkly comic play with music that the New York Times says “leave[s] you dizzy with the scope and dazzle of its ideas.”
Score by Michael Friedman, with lyrics by Anne Washburn. Directed by Michael Swanson. Presented by the Department of Theatre and Dance.
Tickets will be available two weeks before opening at tickets.gustavus.edu.
