ACTION PHILOSOPHERS The SMASH hit of The Comic Book Theater Festival returns! The award-winning, best-selling comics series Action Philosophers is adapted for the stage by award-winning playwright Crystal Skillman and directed by John Hurley as the lives and thoughts of history's A-list brain trust leap to the stage in manic, hilarious fashion.
Come meet PLATO-Wrestling Superstar of Ancient Greece! NIETZSCHE-The Original Übermensch! The torrid love affairs of Ayn Rand! And more! From Impetuous Theater Group who brought you Hack! an I.T. Spaghetti Western (a hit at both last year's Too Soon festival and the Vampire Cowboys Saloon Series) Action Philosophers! is a must see, not to mention cheaper than a liberal arts degree-and a whole lot more fun, too!

Graciously hosted as always by
Makin' Whoopie and Dick E. Lovejoy
To be a true geek is to be consumed-obsessed with finding that near-mint inaugural issue of Alpha Flight, with remembering the name of that Welsh village the Ninth Doctor Who's companion came from, with filling the one bare space in your stamp collection, sitting there mutely, like an unspoken accusation... These bold monomaniacs catalyze our nation's cultural output and stoke its economic engine. Yet, paradoxically, they are driven by absence-by pure, insatiable hunger. There is only one thing that offers satisfaction: Nerdlesque.
On October 8, a jaw-droppingly hot bevy of geeks and other social misfits will explore nerd culture's darkest, hottest obsessions through the medium of burlesque. Power up your warp drive, hop into your Landspeeder, leap aboard your Segway, and come experience the tantalizing geekfest that is Nerdlesque.
Sat 10/8 @ 11pm

The Brick is now accepting submissions for its new play reading series, The Oven.

At the end of each development period, The Brick will present a public reading.
