Outside the March is excited to announce the Mr. Burns has been extended to June 7th by popular demand!
Mr. Burns, A Post Electric Play is a multi-disciplinary production inspired by the world’s favourite TV family: “The Simpsons”. In Mr. Burns, you're invited into a post-apocalyptic world devoid of electricity, where a small group of survivors band together in search of food, shelter and the most precious resource of all: classic lines from “The Simpsons”. In order to bring the audience deeper into the world of the show, the performance will be unplugged and off-the-grid; staged entirely without the use of electricity.
Part pop musical, part chilling contemporary allegory, and part “Simpsons” celebration, Mr. Burns is an animated exploration of how the pop culture of one era evolves into the mythology of another, sprinkled with just enough nostalgia to guarantee things go nuclear!
The show reunites many of the cast of Outside the March's critically acclaimed production, Mr. Marmalade (winner of the 2013 Dora Award for Outstanding Independent Production). Mr. Burns is co-directed by Bloom and Cushman, and stars such Toronto fan favourites as: Damien Atkins (London Road; Angels in America), Rielle Braid (Ride the Cyclone), Ishai Buchbinder (Mr. Marmalade), Katherine Cullen (Vitals; Mr. Marmalade), Colin Doyle (Sultans of the Street; Disney’s Fangbone), Sebastien Heins (Brotherhood, the Hip Hopera), Amy Keating (Mr. Marmalade; After Miss Julie) and Tracy Michailidis (The Light in the Piazza; Broadway’s Beauty and the Beast).
Mr. Burns, A Post-Electric Play is an Outside the March production in association with Starvox Entertainment and Crow’s Theatre.
