The Brick presents
The Gay Divorce
by Cecilia Corrigan
playing June 11-20, 2026
at The Brick Theater
running time 70 minutes

A hilariously twisted nightmare romcom about a brokenhearted trophy wife: as the prospect of her dream gay wedding falls apart, she does, too, and the show follows her psyche’s explosion through a lineup of chaotic femme characters: an immortal witch, a codependent Jesus, a postapocalyptic Real Housewife, even a very grouchy worm!

“Very fucking funny”
-Eric Andre (comedian, The Eric Andre Show)

“A glittering harbinger of doom”
-Sarah Knittel (clown legend )
