A friend just checked the website and couldn't find how to buy the single seats -- this might require a PHONE CALL to the box office after they open at 10! (rats)

Much like an actual visit to Burning Man, “How to Survive the Apocalypse” is a musical production with no obvious plan: you must experience what’s in front of you as it presents itself and just go with it. ...
