April 18-22: 'Mr. Burns, A Post-Electric Play'

At the Parilla Performing Arts Center at Montgomery College in Rockville, Maryland. Tickets are $10, $5 with student ID.

Per the event's website: "Mr. Burns, a Post-Electric Play explores what it would be like to take a TV show and push it past an apocalypse, to see what happens. A group of apocalyptic survivors, when they're not protecting themselves from raiders, pass the time recalling and retelling stories. One story in particular is 'Cape Feare,' an episode from the television show The Simpsons. Through the survivors, the play also examines how the story has changed after seven years. Things get even weirder when, 75 years later, the reenactments have become more elaborate and distorted due to a variety of cultural references and callbacks from earlier scenes. Don't miss the interesting take of one of TV's classic shows."
