The Brick Theater
The Brick Theater is a 70-seat[1][2] state-of-the-art[3] theater located at 579 Metropolitan Ave near the corner of Lorimer St in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.[4] Housed in a brick-walled[3][5] former auto-body shop/former yoga center[3][5] on the first floor of a former industrial building,[1] a weathered[1] wooden garage door[4] announces the entrance to what Gothamist hails as “one of the city’s most reliable sources for smart, funny, and surprising performance.”[6] Founded in 2002 by co–Artistic Directors Michael Gardner and Robert Honeywell,[1][2][3][5][6] The Brick has become known for its co-producing model[4] and its “oddball,”[7] “tartly-themed”[2] summer festivals.[1][4][5][7] The Brick has presented works from artists including Debate Society,[2] Eric Bland’s Old Kent Road Theater,[4] and Eddie Kim,[4] as well as staff-produced offerings from Gardner,[2] Honeywell,[2] Piper McKenzie,[4] Gemini CollisionWorks,[2] and The Fifth Wall.
