If you missed this production keep your eyes on the burningopera.com website. We will be mounting this production again soon.

After getting kicked off a beach for trying to burn an effigy, a small crew of freaks builds a visionary city in the desert. Three newbies arrive, each with their own baggage of fears and expectations, and make their way through the erotic, psychological, and apocalyptic minefield of the temporary festival. Then the world changes in the blink of an eye.

"How to Survive the Apocalypse" is a Burning Man-inspired theatrical event that combines rock opera, vaudeville, and a pagan medicine show that’s just as inspired and terrified by current events as you are. Designed to bring a blast of the playa into new settings, the evening aims to give audiences a taste of the Burning Man experience and its madcap celebration of community, personal expression, and no-holds-barred excess, while exploring the inherent conflicts and painful paradoxes of the event itself, from its tangled origins to its ongoing evolution..
