The brick theater get to know them with tdf


The Brick Theater is a 70-seat state-of-the-art theater located at 579 Metropolitan Ave near the corner of Lorimer St in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Housed in a brick-walled former auto-body shop/former yoga center on the first floor of a former industrial building, a weathered wooden garage door announces the entrance to what Gothamist hails as “one of the city’s most reliable sources for smart, funny, and surprising performance.” Founded in 2002 by co–Artistic Directors Michael Gardner and Robert Honeywell, The Brick has become known for its co-producing model and its “oddball,” “tartly-themed” summer festivals. The Brick has presented works from artists including Debate Society, Eric Bland’s Old Kent Road Theater, and Eddie Kim, as well as staff-produced offerings from Gardner, Honeywell, Piper McKenzie, Gemini CollisionWorks, and The Fifth Wall.
