Watch four performers race against the clock on treadmills, tackling an absurd and escalating to-do list in a show that is equal parts comedy, chaos, and uncomfortably relatable truth.

Burnout Paradise begins with a simple premise: four performers, four treadmills, one hour, and a to-do list that grows increasingly impossible by the minute. Cooking a three-course meal. Filling out a grant application. All while running. Created by award-winning Australian collective Pony Cam, this Off-Broadway phenomenon is part comedy, part endurance feat, and part theatrical explosion that holds a mirror up to the relentless pace of modern life in a way that will make you laugh, wince, and cheer all at once. And if they do not complete the list in time? You get your money back.

This is a show about all of us. The impossible demands. The endless tasks. The desperate attempt to keep up with a system that was never designed with us in mind. Burnout Paradise takes that feeling and transforms it into something euphoric, visceral, and genuinely unforgettable. Get ready for an experience as physically demanding as it is emotionally resonant, performed live and completely seated on stage at Centennial Hall. Recommended for ages 12 and up.
