The Rose Project (Working Title) by Yehuda L. Hyman/Mystical Feet Company
A memoir, cabaret, ausdrucktanz, and disco. Four tales of roses brought to life.

TRAD by Hannah Mitchell
Combines elements of bouffon, mockery, horror & camp to explore the modern phenomenon of trad wives. The show extends beyond the internet trend into a full-blown fever dream that harkens back to a time when women were living outside the curse of their gender, resisting the brokenness of their sex, and eternally rotund with their husband’s seed. Let’s head on back! The cows are waiting to be milked & so is trad wife!!
Hannah Mitchell: creator, performer
Suz Murray Sadler: video design, performer
Ethan Lindhout: video design, projection design, performer

LA GRINGA NO BAILA by Jen Diaz
“Where are you from?” shouldn’t launch LA GRINGA into an identity crisis, but it does.
She should know how to salsa dance, but she doesn’t.
She definitely shouldn’t be able to see her ancestors, but…she does.
There are many things she should know.
Written and performed by Jen Diaz

Landscaping for Future Events by Thomas Tait
Traversing through a series of science fiction-inspired scenes and tableaux, “Landscaping for Future Events” explores a terrain likened to a quasi-graveyard of parts, and understands this hybrid worlding as an actively shaping potential.
Objects, sound, and texts by Thomas Tait

A Note on Accessibility: The Brick Theater is conveniently located off the Lorimer stop on the L train. That stop has an elevator from the street to the platform. Our theater has a driveway leading up to the door, which means you can access it directly from the street without having to go over a curb. Our front door is ADA compliant.

If you’d like to do so, or if you would like to ask further questions in advance of being in the space, or if you would like to enter in advance of our house opening (due to our seating not being assigned), please email: cameron@bricktheater.com.

Questions about Content? Posted just to the right of the box office at the Brick box, we have a detailed content warning sheet for each production. You can check this list if you so choose. We also will have clearly posted signs where you check in for any productions that use loud sounds, flashing lights, fog, or similar.
