Burning Mom
Tuesday, October 28, 2025 -- Sunday, November 23, 2025, 1930 - 2200
This is the story of Mieko Ouchi’s mother, Dorothy, and the pilgrimage she makes after the unexpected death of her husband. To the surprise-and distress-of her children, she announces that she wants to take the 26-foot-long RV that she and her husband purchased for a retirement tour and drive to the Burning Man Festival in the middle of the desert. It turns out to be an odyssey of self-discovery.
Why I Chose This Play
This is a play about letting go-of expectations, of fear, of grief-and reimagining your life. Far from my preconceptions, the Burning Man Festival is all about love and community. I am moved by the way in which Dorothy is embraced by other attendees-whatever their age or inclination. The love she receives and gives-moves me deeply. Michael Shamata
This production of Burning Mom is supported in part by a generous gift from Diane Scott.
