Mr. Burns, a post-electric play: By Anne Washburn and Michael Friedman

By Anne Washburn
Score by Michael Friedman
Lyrics by Anne Washburn

After civilization collapses, a group of survivors share a campfire and begin to piece together the plot of The Simpsons episode “Cape Feare” entirely from memory. Seven years later, this and other snippets of pop culture have become the live entertainment of a post-apocalyptic society trying to hold onto its past. Seventy-five years later, these are the myths and legends from which new forms of performance are created. Anne Washburn’s imaginative, darkly comedic play with music propels us forward nearly a century, following a new civilization stumbling into its future.

Presented by the CU Boulder College of Arts and Sciences Department of Theatre & Dance.

Tickets starting from $23.
