Burning Mom

`

In this inspiring comedy, Dorothy, a 63-year-old widow, realizes life is too short to delay her dreams. Determined to honour her late husband’s retirement plans, she takes their RV on an extraordinary road trip to Burning Man—a weeklong culture festival in the desert with no plumbing. Through hilariously challenging parking lessons, quirky encounters, and moments of self-discovery, she rekindles her adventurous spirit and finds courage she didn’t know she had. This heartfelt odyssey celebrates art, human connection, and the beauty of small moments. Dorothy’s journey will leave you laughing, crying, and ready to embrace life’s unexpected adventures.

Our 2025/26 Season is currently exclusively available through a Season Ticket Package. Learn more about packages here. Single tickets go on sale July 4, 2025.
