Показать описание

On Saturday January 28th, The American Theatre Wing (Heather Hitchens, President & CEO), along with Spectrum News NY1, announced the winners of the esteemed Obie Awards. The recipients of the 67th Annual Awards, Off- and Off-Off-Broadway’s Highest Honor, were announced exclusively on Spectrum News NY1’s “On Stage,” hosted by Emmy Award winner Frank DiLella.

The Brick Theater was honored with the Obie Award Theater Grant with an acceptance speech by Artistic Director Theresa Buchheister.

"Every artist needs a multidisciplinary nest for innovation and creating new work to fly to the moon and back, advancing their career and concentric circles of making an inclusive community. Located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, this company’s bold new vision set out to amplify the power of art by becoming a hub of incubation, pioneering, and experimentation for emerging artists.

Currently presenting 250 to 300 live performances per year at two different spaces with ticket prices at low cost and on a sliding scale, making the work accessible to everyone, this theater is a place for adventurous audiences and that inner misfit artist that is searching to be seen, heard, and welcomed. Not only is it a nest for boundary-pushers making quality and evocative work, but it encourages and dares artists to retain their creative autonomy, and for that alone the judges have awarded an Obie Award Theatre Grant to THE BRICK."
