Brandywine Distillery Fire began as an attempt to destroy storytelling or an attempt to tell story in the way that Jackson Pollack paints landscapes. Playmakers Michael Gardner and Matthew Freeman (creators of When is A Clock and Notes from Underground) conjectured that to develop a theater work in the 'wrongest' way possible might be a liberating experience for artists and audiences alike. They proceeded with a series of workshops. In the workshops, they led a process of improvising a play from scratch. And failing. Deliberately. And writing it down. And failing further.

Playwright Matthew Freeman, director Kyle Ancowitz, and Blue Coyote Theater Group return to The Brick with THAT OLD SOFT SHOE, a redacted comedy. Their previous appearances include the much-ballyhooed productions of Glee Club and An Interview with the Author. In THAT OLD SOFT SHOE, a Senator from the Pacific Northwest arrives to inspect the goings-on in an undisclosed location, throwing the staff into turmoil. Will they all wind up working at a phone bank in Dallas? After all, it's a new administration.

Tickets are now on sale to the latest entry in The Brick's legendary Summer Theme Festival Series, THE TOO SOON FESTIVAL, an ode to half-baked notions, frustrated youth, uncomfortable trends, traumatic events, terrifying predictions, raw nerves and un-come-upon comeuppances, performed and presented before their time.

In theater, audiences and artists are always confronted with the immediate moment - the perpetual 'now.' But what if we're not ready? What if we need a few more minutes to take a deep breath and ask ourselves: Is it too soon to make jokes about your friend's abortion? Is it too soon to give up on a failed government?
