The Brick Presents HACK! An I.T Spaghetti Western 6/4-27

The Brick Theater Inc. and Hack! Theatrics with Impetuous Theater Group present HACK! an I.T. Spaghetti Western AS PART OF THE TOO SOON FESTIVAL JUNE 4-27 @ THE BRICK, June 10th @ 7pm, June 12th @ 8:45pm, June 13th @ 2pm, June 16th @ 7pm and June 19th @ 7pm

When Hedge fund I.T. employees, Cal, Dash, and Jay, discover that they've been hacked - and that the hack is one of them - they scramble to pin it on each other to snag the gold in this ultimate showdown of the Good, the Bad and the Geek. A recent hit at this season's Vampire Cowboys Saloon Series, watching HACK! The Live DVD Cut is just like popping in a DVD to watch your favorite episodes where you even get to select the extras (deleted scenes, bloopers, commentary) that are acted out in front of you.

QUOTES...
"[Hack!] has a feel of somewhere between Office Space, Sneakers, and Glengarry Glen Ross... this one is a treat for anyone who has ever surfed the Heavy Digital waves." Says blogger Craig Page
In a review of the Vampire Cowboys Salon Series, Adam McGovern of Comic.Critique says, "The jewel of this evening's logical conclusions was Crystal Skillman's cybotage potboiler "Hack," an entire narrative cobbled from coming-attractions-style outbursts giving way to action-flick afterthought serial epilogues, all seen through the interface of Skillman's masterful eye for archetypal cliché and suicide-mission self-invention."
In a review of Crystal and John's last project together, Martin Denton writes "Skillman and Hurley's collaboration proves timely and incisive."

THE BRICK was founded in 2002 by Robert Honeywell and Michael Gardner. Formerly an auto-body shop, a yoga center, and various storage spaces, this brick-walled garage in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, was completely refurbished as a state-of-the-art performance space. Since then, The Brick has launched, produced and presented hundreds of world-premiere stage works from New York emerging artists and theater-makers from around the globe. The theater company is a proud member of New York's burgeoning Indie Theater community and informal home to an ever-expanding family of artists and avid theatergoers.
