Burned tells the story of Linda, a Bronx native and former hospital worker during the pandemic. After quitting her job and losing her apartment, she moves in with her sister, Chelsea. Emotionally drained and struggling to stay afloat, Linda fails to find the support she needs from Chelsea or Chelsea’s boyfriend, Joe. In classic forum theater style, audience members get to choose and model an ending for this affecting short play at each performance.
Burned is a rehearsal for action! Developed through creative dialogue and workshops with Bronx residents, all participants are invited into a safe space where they may think critically about the lasting impacts of COVID-19 and other mental health stressors, practice listening and empathy and rehearse actions for heightened personal and community care.
Burned is part of Pregones/PRTT’s Abrazo/Embrace initiative for Bronx community wellness and mental health. Performances are followed by facilitated conversations with qualified mental health counselors and service providers.
