Burnout

A hybrid of paintings, music, and lived narrative, Burnout captures the slow slide into exhaustion and the strange, creative ways we find our way back. Performed by Laura Spector and Bradley Dean Whyte, this unique experience is part concert, part confession, and part immersive picture show—followed by a discussion and light refreshments.

The Burnout Music & Picture Show was performed on January 17, 2026, at 6:15 pm at the Ensemble Theatre in Houston, TX.

Performed by: Laura Spector and Bradley Dean Whyte
Written by: Brendan Bourque-Sheil, Laura Spector, and Bradley Dean Whyte
Directed by Jen Onopa
Musicians: Bradley Dean Whyte (Piano) and Bryant Talley (Drums)
