A Note on Health and Safety: The Brick is a mask optional space while remaining committed to the health of all our patrons, artists, and staff. In consideration of the health and safety of others, The Brick strongly suggests that audience members remain masked during the performance. If you need a mask, we have some available at the box office free of charge. If you are feeling ill or have recently been exposed to a virus or other contagion such as COVID-19, please stay at home out of respect for the performers and the other patrons. In the event you cannot make it due to illness or exposure, contact the box office for a refund at
boxoffice@bricktheater.com.
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. There is a small ramp with an ADA compliant grade that leads up to the box office window and further on to the house. We are happy to reserve accessible seats for folks who need them. 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.
