Auditions

Mr. Burns,
a post-electric play

by Anne Washburn

About

The Falcon's Eye opens its season with Mr. Burns, A Post-Electric Play. What will endure when the cataclysm arrives - when the grid fails, society crumbles, and we're faced with the task of rebuilding? Anne Washburn's imaginative dark comedy with music is an exploration of how the pop culture of one era might evolve into the mythology of another.  This production will be performed in the promenade style throughout the Harris Center.
