UglyRhino Productions Announces Summer/Fall Season at The Brooklyn Lyceum

UglyRhino produces high quality events that integrate dynamic arts programming ranging from emerging musicians and playwrights to warehouse parties, drinking games, and everything in between. UglyRhino curates affordable evenings with a social atmosphere that capture the inimitable spirit of Brooklyn. UglyRhino’s residency at The Brooklyn Lyceum, a 10,000 square foot warehouse, allows for dynamic and non-traditional performance opportunities as well as for large audiences of wide demographics. 

 

TinyRhino

The Theatrical Drinking Game

June 11, July 16, August 13, September 10, & October 15 @ 8pm

$10 at the door, including 1 free beer

TinyRhino is UglyRhino's take on the ten-minute play evening. Each month they commission six short plays each including the same five dramatic elements. On the night of the performance, these elements are revealed to the audience as cues to drink.

 

TinyRhino premiered in July 2011, and has returned to sold-out crowds since November. This monthly event showcases and supports the work of up-and-coming playwrights, directors, and actors by presenting brand new work each month. TinyRhino has featured emerging theater artists from The Flea's Bats, Samuel French OOB Festival winners, The Public Theater's Emerging Writers Group and Drama League Directing fellows, just to name a few.

Each TinyRhino features live jazz music, drink specials, special drink giveaways, and a cocktail hour following the performance.

Six Stories & Six Cocktails

This event combines non-traditional storytelling with a social atmosphere, enveloping audience deep into the world of the play as they travel throughout the space hearing six stories paired with six specialty cocktails.
