Mr. Burns - a Post-Electric Play

Mr. Burns - a Post-Electric Play is Anne Washburn's unique theatrical work exploring how stories and culture evolve after a global catastrophe. The narrative follows a group of survivors in a post-apocalyptic world who entertain themselves by recounting an episode of The Simpsons, leading to a fascinating look at memory, myth-making, and the endurance of pop culture. It’s a sharp, darkly comedic piece that challenges expectations of what theater can be. This production runs on Thursday, October 15, 2026, at The Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center in College Park, MD. The Clarice is known for its diverse programming and excellent facilities, offering a comfortable setting for an evening of thought-provoking contemporary theater. It's a good fit for anyone interested in experimental drama, social commentary, or a fresh take on performance.
