PROVIDENCE, RI – The Burbage Theatre Company, just after their critically acclaimed summer rep series Loving the Ghost, mounts another ‘mini-season’ at Aurora Providence. This Winter’s War, a series of two plays about War and its consequences, runs January 7 – March 18 2016. The series includes: ‘Happy Birthday, Wanda June’ (Jan 7 – Feb 5), the only play by the great American satirist Kurt Vonnegut Jr, directed by Wendy Overly, and Titus Andronicus (Feb 18 – Mar 18) the full-length Providence premiere of William Shakespeare’s first tragedy, directed by Jeff Church.
This Winter’s War runs January 7 – March 18 at Aurora Providence, 276 Westminster Street, Providence RI. Tickets are $10-$20. Visit www.burbagetheatre.org or contact info@burbagetheatre.org for reservations and more info.
ABOUT THE PLAYS
Why War? “It is hard these days to imagine a world without War,” says Artistic Director Jeff Church, “something like nine out of ten people believe that War will never end, that humans will always, in some way or other, be at War with each other. In an election season, we at Burbage feel it pertinent to hone in on the perpetual nature of War, and find, in a time of transition, why the next War begins.”

ABOUT BURBAGE
Founded in 2010, Burbage is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization committed to excite and engage a new generation of theatre-goer with socially relevant and compelling stories, both classic and contemporary, told by an inventive and expert ensemble of actors.
We believe that acting comes first. We believe the theatre's continued relevance as a civil institution is best perpetuated by building productions and their aesthetic around the collaboration of an expert ensemble of storytellers. We believe it is the actor's job to activate thought and inner movement in his audience.
In collaboration with Aurora, Burbage's theatrical residence in downtown Providence, Burbage is dedicated to the growing and cultivating of the diverse artistic community in Rhode Island by providing affordable access to the performing arts and perpetuating a discourse about, not only content, but the actor's role as storyteller in today's world. Burbage is an ideal sustainable arts model for the 21st Century.
