Synopsis
BURN is a forthcoming musical set in a bar in backwoods Northern California with an eclectic folk/country score.
Rosie and Natasha, best friends and bandmates on tour for the first time, find themselves stranded in a bar deep in the forests of Northern California. As they get to know the eclectic patrons, a nearby wildfire forces everyone to shelter in the bar, threatening both their safety and the survival of the local community.
BURN is a musical about the power of home and the families we create in the face of disaster.
