FRANKLIN, Mass. — Heather Pape of Wayne has earned the role of Chorus/Miss Hoover in the Dean College production of “Mr. Burns, A Post-Electric Play,” that began Thursday, Feb. 23, and continues through Sunday, Feb. 26.
Permeated with the idea that we turn to art in times of immense difficulty, this 2013 black comedy by Anne Washburn tells the story of a group of survivors shortly after a global catastrophe. As a way of making sense in a world that no longer makes sense, they recreate their vanished world through storytelling (some of it featuring Bart Simpson) and turn pop culture of one era into the mythology of another, according to a news release from the college.
“Mr. Burns, A Post-Electric Play” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.
The Dean College production of “Mr. Burns” will take place at 7:30 p.m. through Saturday with 2 p.m. matinees Saturday and Sunday in the Main Stage in the Dr. Paula M. Rooney Student Center at Dean College, 109 West Central St.
Dean College welcomes children and families to all of its performances, provided patrons have complied with all safety guidelines. However, infants and children younger than 2 are not allowed in the theatre, and children younger than 16 must be accompanied by an adult. All patrons must have their own ticketed seats; lap sitting is not permitted.
