Comics are sometimes called 'sequential art' - stories that unfold across time over the course of multiple images. This definition also applies to the art of theater - and with so much in common, it makes sense that the two should team up. After a successful first installment in 2011, the Comic Book Theater Festival is coming back to The Brick for 'Issue #2' in June 2014. Get ready for a new crop of shows that explore the intersection of the panel and the stage, the live and the drawn, the ink and the actor. The call for submissions will be open until January 15 - both long-form and short-form pieces will be considered. Artists who are interested in helping add a new dimension to comics, theater or both should visit www.bricktheater.com/comics to apply or email comics@bricktheater.com for more information.
