The following is an email that was sent out by The Brick Theater. We like them. Help ’em out.
Friends of The Brick:
What would a $ELLOUT FESTIVAL be without advertising? Seriously, popular entertainment only exists to be a creamy filling between commercials – why should we be any different?
To this end, the Program and Festival Guide for this year’s $ELLOUT FESTIVAL are currently being constructed, and The Brick is offering low-price advertising space in both publications. Do you have a small business or service you’d like to have publicized? Anything from website design to floral arrangements to massage services to multinational corporate hegemony? If so, take out an ad at our incredibly reasonable prices! All ads will run for a full month and be seen by an estimated 5,000 attendees.
Both the Program and the Festival Guide will have a page size of 8 ½†x 5 ½â€, and ad pricing is as follows:
Quarter page (business card): 50.00
Half Page: 80.00
Full page: 120.00
The absolute deadline for artwork is Friday, May 26, 2006 – it’s coming fast!
Artwork can be in jpg, gif, psd, or tiff format. For complete details and to place an order for an ad, please contact ads@bricktheater.com.
Help Williamsburg theatre sell out by throwing us some scratch!
And please forward on this e-mail to anyone who would be interested – particularly billionaires, industrialists and tycoons.
Thank you,
The Brick

DARK YELLOW
a new play by Julia Jordan
directed by Nick Sandow
with Tina Benko, Max Kaplan & Elias Koteas
Dark Yellow is a noir play that begs the question: is anything what it seems? In a rural place, a murder in a cornfield gradually becomes the focus of an unusual encounter between a local woman and a stranger she meets at the small town bar. As they engage in a bedroom game of questions, word-play and sexual intrigue, both strive for a connection while identities and motives remain hidden. Testing the boundaries of trust and intimacy, they struggle with their instincts toward suspicion and self-preservation. In the end, the truth about the murder is unearthed in this exploration of crime, human nature, vengeance and redemption.
