WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Tom Noonan and the Paradise Factory present the world premiere of Brother, written and directed by Lisa Ebersole and produced by Luke Rosen.

Walking a fine line between intrigue and danger, Brother intersects race and class, as it unveils four very real characters who are consumed by a very surreal situation. Stereotypes are projected, assumptions are tested and predictability is led in a tango until the shocking finale.
No performance Thursday, August 18.
