The Brick to Present DISASTER THEATER By CAROL Beginning Next Month

The Brick will present Disaster Theater By CAROL from July 18 – August 3, 2024 at The Brick Theater – 579 Metropolitan.

A bio-engineered fly in the ointment, acid rain on our parade, ice cream melting on the hot hot sidewalk. Disaster Theater repurposes pop culture disaster tropes to confront an endless cycle of catastrophe. Deconstructed public service announcements, plague diaries, doomsday films, and more coalesce into an intricate performance collage.

The production is directed by Skye Fort and Mike Steele, with Script and Sound by Mike Steele, and Video and Additional Text by Skye Fort

Performers are Jim Ford, Tony Jenkins, Susan Myburgh, Nora Lise Ulrey, and Mike Steele.
