If this were the last day of your life, how would you spend it? Sam is stuck in the middle-of-nowhere with a middle-of-nowhere job as an ice cream man. While Sam grapples with the idea of leaving his hoarder father behind to start a new lifestyle, he receives news that sets his world ablaze. Theoretical astrophysics, broken box fans, and ice cream sandwiches all collide in BURN.

Directed by J. Cody Spellman, the production will feature Olivia Charles (Barb), Alex Gudding (Sam), Scott Olson (Dad).

The production team for BURN includes Elyse Balogh (Scenic and Props Design), Chloe Cappuccilli (Costume Designer), Grover Holloway (Sound Designer), Slick Jorgensen (Lighting Designer) and Danielle Stack* (Production Manager).
