Beowulf Alley Theatre presents Joan is Burning

Beowulf Alley Theatre presents

Joan is Burning

A new play devised by The Next Theatre at Beowulf Alley

 

Beowulf Alley Theatre presents Joan is Burning at 7:30 PM Friday and Saturday, June 22nd, 23rd, and 29th at Beowulf Alley Theatre, 11 S. 6th Avenue in downtown Tucson. Tickets are $18. $15 for seniors, military and teachers. Our student price is only $8.

 

Joan is Burning is a satirical comedy of the near future. In 2018 New Orleans, Joan works for a public relations firm and has created a program that can sell anyone anything.  Her love life in shambles, her only healthy relationship is with her phone/computer, her employer an avaricious, unprincipled executive, Joan must decide what she ought to do with such a newfound power. All the while an anonymous protest for the rights of women shadows her. Will Joan join the fight?

 

A multi-cultural, multi-media presentation that includes extensive use of film, created by Josh Parra, and original music by Skads Muskie and Tristyn Tucci, Joan is Burning is part of The Next Theatre at Beowulf Alley’s mission to effect relevant, entertaining themes with new models of narrative presentation. Portions of the proceeds to this production will go to benefit Disappeared Women, a women’s health advocacy group.
