COLONISTS SEIZE THE SHIP…OF YOUR HEART! PROTECT THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN!

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

Just 2 Sundays left!

Performances at 3pm and 7pm!

Bring the kids!

"It's rare that I see a show with you that I want to go on longer than it already has, but this time I really wanted it to keep going." The L Magazine

"But to those who think they have seen it all before, I give you the humble earthworm of the stunningly vibrant and fresh puppet community of “The Colonists,” now on stage at the Brick Theater in Williamsburg." The Brooklyn Paper

"It's a really wonderful show, with the magical surprise feeling of good puppetry - lots of intense artism in the puppets and set - and the left-field head-cocking genius that made for some of Jollyship's best comedy." fishunderwater.blogspot.com

See the new trailer!

HEY LOOKIT! SOME DAGUERROTYPES FROM THEM SHANTYTOWN BALL COCKADOOEY!

Monday, May 4th, 2009

The Shantytown Ball last Saturday night was attended by many individuals who ran the gamut of the socioeconomic costuming spectrum. There were Dapper Dans, Flapper Flos, Homeless Hennies and Down-and-out Dexters to spare. We Brickers are astoundingly grateful for all the support we received, both from those who planned the party and those who attended it. Our extensive photo set from the evening is available at Flickr, but here are a few choice images to start with. Thanks to all!
