As most of you are aware, New York City will require proof of vaccination for indoor performances beginning September 13th. We will be enforcing this policy for all upcoming performances, and ask that all audience members, regardless of vaccination status, remain masked. All staff and performers will be vaccinated, performers may not be masked. Audience can provide proof of vaccination with a government issued I.D. along with a COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card or the Excelsior Pass App. We are navigating this day to day just like all of you so please be patient with staff when you attend your next Brick event. We love all of you.

JOHANNA STONE
ALEX AGUIRRE
In an anarcho-capitalist technocracy, Scarlett and Drew are hired to make it seem as if artists still exist.
Alex Aguirre is a playwright, poet, theater director, and actor based in Brooklyn, NY. He wrote, directed, and acted in the surrealist play Lushland which was staged at Vital Joint and Patch Works in November 2019. Alex’s most recent full-length play is Phases of the Night, a Gothic tragicomedy set in a mausoleum. Alex also plays bass in the rock band Violet Grove.
Tatienne Hendricks-Tellefsen is a classically trained actor, born and raised in New York City. Tatienne studied Shakespeare at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London, and is a recent graduate of Atlantic Acting School. Tatienne wrote, produced and starred in her web series, ADULT, which was an official selection at Lower East Side Film Festival and won two audience awards at Indie Works, New York. ADULT also earned Tatienne an invitation to participate in the Tribeca N.O.W. Creators Market. Recent acting credits include: David Chase’s THE MANY SAINTS OF NEWARK, Kevin Vu’s short film, PERFECT AS CATS, and a lead role in the upcoming feature film, ALL MEN ARE WICKED.
Nick Walther is an NYC-based stage & voice actor with roots in Brooklyn’s experimental theater and performance community. Performance highlights include a six-hour durational play, Haunted House, at MoMA PS1, several Exponential Festival shows including Police in the Wilderness at Patchworks and Bernie Sanders Wants to Take Away My Fire Island Timeshare at The Brick Theater, playing a tree frog-like microgod in The Cosmic Thrust: Lushland at Vital Joint, and a public performance of Lord Dunsany’s The Gods of the Mountain at the Columbus Park Pavilion. Nick is a member of Theater Breaking Through Barriers, American Renaissance Theater Company, Saints of an Unnamed Country, and the co-creator and host of

Christopher Pio was recently nominated for his work in the premiere of The Myth of Forgiveness at the New York Theater Festival. He also starred in Willem & The Judge, which had a simultaneous virtual premiere at 2020’s Garden State Film Festival & International de Film Sur L’art in Montreal.
Chris moved to NYC in 2014 to attend Atlantic Acting School where he studied with the Atlantic Theater Company founding members. Upon graduating, he has been a part of many independent films and off off Broadway plays.
