Joe Thristino's BRINGER OF DOOM To Premiere Off-Broadway This Summer
Running July 25-August 25.
By: Chloe Rabinowitz May. 31, 2024
After a powerhouse workshop last year, Joe Thristino's caustic comedy will be presented Off-Broadway at Players Theatre.
With a surprise visit from her estranged mother and her mother's young lover on tap, Lotte enlists an alcoholic ex-stand-up comedian to brutally "roast" the maligned pair at dinner. As the night ensues, however, even darker ulterior motives come to light and events take a madcap, morbid turn that nobody saw coming.
Bringer of Doom was a 2022 Finalist for the Ambassador Theatre Group's Playwright's Prize.
The prodution will run JULY 25 - AUGUST 25 with PREVIEWS: Thursday. July 25 at 7:00 p.m.; Friday. July 26 at 7:00 p.m.; Saturday, July 27 at 3:00 pm; OPENING: Saturday, July 27 at 7:00 pm.
