BURN THIS
MaY 13 - MAY 17

A play by Lanford Wilson

Directed by Mike Ford


The Story:

Burn This centers on an unexpected and volatile connection between two people drawn together by grief and desire. Set against New York’s downtown art scene, the play expresses love, loss, and the dangerous pull of emotional honesty when control gives way to need.

SEASON ONE . 2026

Human connection, collision, being.

This inaugural season thoughtfully explores how other people shape our lives and sense of identity. In an era of rising AI, curated truths, and performative online lives, these plays center on individuals connecting, sharing raw, real-time emotion.

Constellations, Burn This, and Circle Mirror Transformation offer simple, moving, deeply human stories. They speak to the enduring theme of how others impact our lives through a single choice, an unexpected connection, or even the quiet presence of merely being in the same room.

I look forward to connecting, sharing this season and this experience with you.

Artistic Director
