What stories survive at the end of the world? In Anne Washburn’s daring dark comedy, Mr. Burns, A Post‑Electric Play, a band of survivors transform pop culture into myth and parables and TV characters into mythic figures of the time before the collapse.
When the power goes out, what stories survive? In Anne Washburn’s Mr. Burns, A Post‑Electric Play, a band of survivors huddles around a fire and retells The Simpsons episode, “Cape Feare.” As the years pass, commercial jingles become parables, pop songs turn into hymns and TV characters (like the titular Mr. Burns) transform into mythic figures of the time before the collapse. Wildly funny and unexpectedly moving, Mr. Burns is a genre-bending mash-up of theater, pop culture, opera and commedia dell’arte with “depths of feeling to match its breadth of imagination” (The New York Times). Directed by Elizabeth Dinkova (Artistic Director, Spooky Action Theater), this daring play returns to its roots after premiering at D.C.’s Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company.

Multiple Emmy Award-nominee Leslie Jones rolls out a night of jokes, celebrity stories and some unexpected surprises for a laugh-filled set you won’t forget!
Ever since her 2014 breakout year on “Saturday Night Live”, comedian Leslie Jones’ star has skyrocketed to the point where it’s no exaggeration to call her one of the world’s funniest and most beloved comedians. A multiple Emmy Award-nominee, Jones has become a recognizable face as the host of “Supermarket Sweep,” “The Daily Show”, the BET Awards and the MTV Movie Awards, along with regular appearances on “Celebrity Wheel of Fortune” and “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” Well-known on the silver screen as one of the core cast for the 2016 reboot of “Ghostbusters,” Jones has also established herself as a much in-demand voice actor, as heard in “The Angry Birds Movie” and “Sing.” Jones’ latest work is The New York Times bestselling memoir Leslie F*cking Jones,” a rollicking autobiography that surveys the state of her life in the spotlight at 55 and takes no prisoners. For her Clarice debut, Jones rolls out a night of jokes, celebrity stories and some unexpected surprises for a laugh-filled set you won’t forget!
