Burn Book is a new play by JJ McGlone, premiering Nov 1 and running until Nov 14 (preview Oct 31) at the historic 122 Community Center. Directed by Obie Award winning Rory Pelsue (Last Bimbo of the Apocalypse, Circle Jerk), it’s a darkly funny, witchy fanfiction about queer adolescence, power, and obsession.
Originally a sold-out hit at Yale Cabaret, Burn Book blends camp, critique and a little chaos. JJ McGlone stars alongside Leland Fowler, Daniel Liu, and Julian Sanchez, with a design team including Emmy-winner Erin Sullivan (Video), Lily Guerin (Set), Bailey Trierweiler, Tim White (Sound), and David Mitsch (Costumes). Movement direction by Allison Jones (YOU, Netflix).
JJ describes the play as “a spell being cast, an invocation – an attempt to get to the bottom of gay guys’ fascination with women who behave badly, while giving queer characters the chance to exorcise those demons.”
1hr 30min.
