What if you could choose your own 'ending'? With the help of a highly skilled Death Agent, you can! And after you buy the farm, a 'Corpsetologist' will make you look like your favorite celebrity. These and other death-dealing characters await you in Esther Crow's one-woman variety show, DEATH IS A SCREAM.
In Redbeard & Domicella, two high school sweethearts deliver a bold retrospective of their young marriage in 'he said, she said' fashion. The witty, irrepressible Redbeard works in a bicycle shop near Brighton Beach; the slightly-built, titanic-hearted Domicella splits her time between a desk at the District Attorney's Office, and the kitchen table where she writes. The play speaks (too soon?) about instances of loss as disparate as September 11th and Michael Jackson's death, as well as Domicella's own close scrape on the wild streets of New York.
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?
