Reviews
"We watched ten dreams of metamorphosis - and it was a wonderful experience!"
"I love the Brick!! I’ve produced a play there for a festival and have attended many plays there and it is a wonderful, accepting and caring place!"
"Good audience experience! Come right when house opens and go to the bathroom before the line forms!"
"I went for a drop in improv class that was scheduled for 3-5pm on 5/23 however when i got there the gate was down and i waited for 20 mins and no one showed up nor did i get an email about a schedule change. The one star is only because i didn’t get a chance to experience the class, i left after 20 minutes so im not sure if they opened up after i left but i would have appreciated a notice of changes like that."
"I've now heard from two theater makers who've presented their plays at The Brick and had terrible experiences with administrative staff. Staff members were hostile, litigious, and generally unpleasant. Having gone to The Brick for many theater things in the past, I will no longer be going to The Brick for anything, and I will be sure everyone I work with in the theater knows that they can expect to be treated with disrespect and hostility if they choose to present with The Brick."
