Event Description

A one-woman show about taking a big bite out of life.


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.
