Opening Reception March 16 | Closing Party April 7 MORE INFO The Banality of Evil by Meta Phys-Ed. March 21 - April 6 at The Brick Theater Based on Hannah Arendt's controversial idea "The Banality of Evil" and her scandalous article in The New Yorker magazine, covering the trial of Nazi Adolf Eichmann in 1963. Meta-Phys Ed.'s The Banality of Evil is a neo-noir courtroom drama about a "show-trial on trial," while trying to solve the mystery of how a traveling vacuum salesman accidentally becomes a Nazi and commits crimes against humanity. Performed by: Rawya El Chab, Romeo Torres, Sophie Morrison Director: Jesse Freedman Costume Designer: Karen Boyer Sound Designer & Composer: Eamon Goodman Scenic Designer: Nora Marlow Smith Lighting Designer: Elizabeth M Stewart Stage Manager: Jennifer Deane Production Manager: Grady Shea Technical Director: Grady Shea Assistant Director: Stewart Harrison Original Designs by: Kyu Shin (Scenic), Yi-Chung Chen (Lights) and Avi Amon (Sound) The Banality of Evil was developed in residency at Target Margin Theater (2022) and was presented as workshop at The Tank, a home for emerging artists (2022). MORE INFO Quick + Dirty 6 March 22 At Brick Aux Quick + Dirty is a development series for short plays by new collaborators & a community of playwrights and directors & a place to try new work on its feet with an audience. You should come. Here's how it works: We pair three playwrights with directors they haven't worked with before. Each team works on a new play, casts actors, and gets two hours of rehearsal the day of the presentation to put it up—on book, on its feet, no music stands. (It is, truly, quick + dirty.) MORE INFO Miss Margarida's Way by Roberto Athayde March 30 - March 31 At Brick Aux Do you want to learn the facts of life? Go somewhere else.

Their quest is simple: to seek the Shining Emblem, an object of unimaginable power granting whoever finds it one wish! How they find it (or if they even bother to quest at all) is totally up to them!

Along this queer pilgrimage-turned-presentation-turned-performance, Geraldine's less-zany half, a consultant named Cam, offers a special communion with the audience illuminating how we get to where we want to go.
