Mr. Burns

"Mr. Burns, a post-electric play" by Anne Washburn is a unique three-act journey through America's cultural memory after an apocalyptic event. The play begins with survivors sharing half-remembered episodes of "The Simpsons," specifically the "Cape Feare" episode featuring Sideshow Bob. As years pass, these stories transform into live theater performances, and eventually evolve into a mythic opera-like spectacle where pop culture becomes legend.

À propos de cet événement

Mr. Burns arrives at the intimate Loft Theatre on March 1, 2026 for what appears to be a theatrical production rather than a musical performance. Located at 1515 Central Campus Mall in Colorado, this venue typically hosts dramatic works and experimental theater pieces.

The Loft Theatre, with its smaller capacity and campus location, provides an ideal setting for innovative theatrical productions. The March 1st date places this performance during the spring theater season, when many venues feature contemporary works and revivals.

Given the venue's theatrical focus and the title "Mr. Burns," this likely represents a dramatic production — possibly the acclaimed post-apocalyptic play "Mr. Burns, a post-electric play" by Anne Washburn, which explores how pop culture stories survive and evolve after civilization's collapse.
