Mr. Burns, A Post Electric Play at RGC Theatre

In a world forever changed by a mysterious apocalypse, six survivors gather around a campfire and try to piece together an iconic episode of The Simpsons. What begins as a way to pass the time evolves into a journey of storytelling, memory, and the resilience of humanity. Fast forward seven years: the survivors are now a traveling theatre troupe, performing Simpsons episodes for eager audiences in a society clinging to the past. But 75 years later, these performances have transformed into something far more epic—a ritualistic musical that has reimagined the familiar into myth.

Anne Washburn’s groundbreaking play explores how pop culture becomes myth, how stories shift through time, and how the human spirit perseveres in the face of destruction. As we follow the characters across decades, Mr. Burns turns nostalgia and survival into an unforgettable theatrical spectacle filled with humor, heart, and a touch of the uncanny.

Don’t miss your chance to experience this daring, mind-bending production that asks: What stories will we hold onto when the lights go out—and how will they transform us?
