Brooklyn College's Weasel Festival at Life World

The 17th Annual Bring a Weasel and a Pint of Your Own Blood Festival—showcasing a night of theater written and presented by Kurt Chiang, Ann Marie Dorr, Claire Greising, and Andrew Hardigg, the 2025 graduates of the Brooklyn College MFA Playwriting Program—is happening at Life World! This year's festival features a co-written work of new science fiction, inspired by a prompt from Dennis A. Allen II, the cohort's program co-head, along with Sibyl Kempson.

Aliens collect human tears in Your Tears Run The World by Ann Marie Dorr. In The Last Dive Bar in North America by Claire Greising, the world is held together by a string. A salesman asks a lobby guard for access to the sky in Andrew Hardigg's TERRAPAX. And, of course, Barry putters in Strawberry by Kurt Chiang. These four pieces have been anthologized and will be presented as one play: The Booming Voice of No One: A Mutant Anthology of Plays on Science-Fiction from Brooklyn College.
