About This Show
From playwright Chris Van Strander and director Matthew Didner comes Breuckelen, a darkly comedic tale about the convergence of Brooklyn’s gentrified present and its mostly forgotten past. Blogging hipsters, political witches, Dutch widows, Russian squatters, sapphic socialites, Prohibition-era bootleggers, and public-access TV stars are just a few of the characters in the checkered story of this broken land. During an eventful open mic night in a local Brooklyn haunt, these tales collide in a comic evening of poetry, music, performance, and supernatural apparitions. Y’know… just another open mic night.
CAST: Shannon Burkett*, Jack Ferry, Karie Christina Hunt, Stacey Jenson*, Kevin Orton*, Brooke Peterson*, Melissa Schneider, Candy Simmons, and appearances by a rotating roster of guest artists.
