Whoo-hoo! Selling out works! We knew it! Congrats to all involved. Hopefully the next step is a Brick Theater IPO…
In all seriousness, this is one of the best off-off houses in the city. So take the freakin’ L train and get out to Williamsburg to see a show! (We’re not responsible if this happens.)

Accosted by various hallucinations — Anna Nicole Smith being chased
by her dead billionaire husband, James Joyce and W. B. Yeats begging
her to embrace art, a professor on a subway doing a striptease with
the floor-to-ceiling pole — she tries to maintain her sanity while
fighting off the urge to “massage the numbers” at her day job. With
perky song & dance numbers by Anna Nicole, Joyce, Yeats and a lusty,
wheelchair-bound J. Howard Marshall.
