Burn Book by JJ McGlone
Arthur Miller wrote a play. Now we made it super gay. Mixed in Mean Girls and The Craft. Lots of screaming, tons of laughs. Witches in school uniforms. Casting hexes in the dorms..
New York, NY, US
WELCOME TO THE COVEN
Meet William, Warren, and Lewis - Three gay boys at Saint Vitus, an elite boarding prep school somewhere in Massachusetts. Though the social strata of Saint Vitus is oppressively straight, they find safety within the four walls of their dorm room….until a new kid arrives. Will Saint Vitus’ latest transfer, Ty, complete the boys’ coven or be a foil to their tricks and charms?

Burn Book is a fan fiction using the *best* elements of three classics: American Classic The Crucible, Millennial Pop Anthem Classic Mean Girls, and 90s Film Cult Classic The Craft. Four boys struggle to negotiate with friendship, witchcraft, queerness, and morality - what could go wrong?
Burn Book will run October 31st to November 14th at 122CC, 2nd Floor Theater, 150 First Avenue, NYC, 10009
