ABOUT THE SHOW

 

Mercedes is an outsider. Tara makes sure she knows it. When a high school
production of The Crucible forces them together, tensions escalate into acts
of bullying–both online and IRL. This world premiere play explores what
happens to a teacher and his students when a classroom conflict turns into
an online witch-hunt.

 

The Burn was commissioned by Steppenwolf for Young Adults.

 

Featuring Birgundi Baker, Nina Ganet, Phoebe González, Erik Hellman and
Dyllan Rodrigues-Miller

ABOUT THE SHOW

 

"A quirky dark comedy about a young woman following the thorny path to
adulthood — right over a cliff."

 

Mae's life is kinda falling apart. Her boyfriend dumped her, she got fired
from her job, and she's moved back home to take care of her dad. As if that
weren't enough, she has this weird rash and a fantasy cowboy that just won't
leave her alone.

 

What happens when your life path leads you right over a cliff? In this
bawdy, irreverent and touching new play, up-and-coming playwright Clare
Barron masterfully blends reality and fantasy in a dark comedy about falling
apart as you're failing to launch, and what you might find instead.

 

Featuring ensemble members Glenn Davis, Audrey Francis, Francis Guinan and
Caroline Neff, with Emjoy Gavino, David Lind and Gabriel Ruiz
