A BRIEF HISTORY OF BEER to Play UNDER St. Marks 11/19

It's about to be turkey time so A Brief History of Beer celebrates America! Join Will and Trish for drink-a-long fun in our Quantum Pint Machine! We're getting close to Thanksgiving, the election will have been over for better or worse, and so we'll be delving deep into this fine nation's beer history. Learn all about Budweiser during a reappearance of Darth Bud! Gather all the beer news you need to seem well informed with This Month In Beer! And maybe JUST MAYBE, Trish's voice will finally be up for a new song.

"Having enjoyed a two-year run at Under St. Marks, A Brief History of Beer has become an East Village (and Off-Off-Broadway) mainstay. One thing that A Brief History of Beer does extremely well is facilitate audience participation. Many audiences balk at the idea of participatory theater, but by harnessing the jovial qualities of beer, Mayhew, Glenn, and Parry make audience participation fun (and not scary or intimidating in the slightest)...The type of communal drinking that this show encourages is a fantastic alternative to drinking at home or in a regular bar, so if beer-drinking is one of your favorite weekend pastimes, you should definitely give this quirky show a try."
