Villain From "The Simpsons" Comes To Ashland Stage

sou.edu

It's not like we can interview characters from TV's long-running cartoon "The Simpsons." 

But... there IS a play based on Simpsons characters coming to a stage in Ashland soon. 

"Mr. Burns: A Post-Electric Play"is a production of the Oregon Center for the Arts at Southern Oregon University, and it brings to life--even in song!--the creepy nuclear power plant boss from the TV show.  Director Michael Hume, an Oregon Shakespeare Festival veteran, visits with details.
