Beyond Brecht features the Brooklyn Playwrights Collective whose last production was described by NYTheatre.com as a "smart, sharp, and compelling evening of theatre…" and the world premiere of 10 new one-acts with a humorous/political twist, all inspired by Bertolt Brecht. Interspersed between the one-acts will be songs, musical acts, and multi-media art.

This year's festival offers opportunities to catch an eclectic night of theatre by writers Ed Malin, Les Hunter, Felipe Ossa, Maria Micheles, Chris Force, Marcy Wallabout, Jerry Polner, and Will Cordeiro.
Critic Martin Denton, of NYTheatre.com, went on to say about last year’s Brooklyn Playwrights festival, “The plays are all quite funny and, each in its way, subversive.... Best of all, perhaps, is the conception of the evening itself.... [W]e get a glimpse at some fine young playwrights and their collaborators...tough-minded, raw, off-the-wall stuff that would get passive chair-sitters off their duffs.”

The Brooklyn Playwrights Collective is a workshop and theatre group of emerging playwrights from Brooklyn and Queens. They workshop bi-weekly in and around the Park Slope area. What unites this diverse group is their urge to create an alternative to traditional “theater-centric” events by incorporating other types of experimental performance and musical shows onto the stage.

Performing artists include: Richard West, Lissa Moira, Peter Dizozza, Joe Bendik, Johnathan Zalben, Jason Ellis, Margot Lee Sherman, Lauren O'Brien, and Amelia June.

BEYOND BRECHT will perform at Brecht Forum (451 West Street, between Bank & Bethune Streets) on November 1, 3, 4, 16, 17, at Galapagos on November 8, and at KEP, Greek Cultural Center on November 7, 15. All performances at 8 PM. Ticket information at (347) 683-9145.
