The Brick In Association & First Kiss Theatre Company to Present FKT's Fall Residency Readings

Following an inaugural in-person season at The Tank last fall, First Kiss Theatre is bringing a series of 4 new play readings to Brick Aux this October. Tickets for all shows are available now.

October 8th, 7pm - ART GETS WHAT IT WANTS by Christiane Swenson, directed by Delaney Circe

Glen and Julie, two artists high on ego and short on stability, embark on a doomed collaboration that destroys their friendship -- and the fabric of the universe.

October 15th, 7pm - Vanessa the Miracle Girl by Maddie Dennis-Yates, directed by Tara Ahmadinejad

Vanessa, a 14-year-old Italian girl, sees the David on a field trip and has an immediate sexual/artistic awakening - just as an earthquake hits, killing all of her classmates and her teacher. She becomes an instant tragedy celebrity, worshiped by the Italian press, advised by the Pope, horny. Can she live up to her new Miracle Girl title?

October 22nd, 7pm - Guts by Rachel Greene, directed by Bella Fatigati

The hit reality weight-loss competition show GUTS is back with its BIGGEST! SEASON! EVER! But behind the camera, relationships are forming, forbidden romances are blossoming, and friendships are being found in the most unlikely of places. Can these six contestants find self-love, communal healing, and liberation in a place designed to make them hate themselves and their bodies?

October 29th, 7pm - Three Knockdown Rule, (Or When My Friend Was Not Dying) by Lauren D'Errico, directed by Caitlin Mayernik

Spanning the first lies between three old friends to a chance encounter where they can't say anything more than hello, Three Knockdown Rule (or, When My Friend Was Not Dying) is a meditation on lying, truth, and precision.

About First Kiss Theatre Company

First Kiss Theatre Company is a primarily virtual home for artists on a quest to extract magic from the mundane and infuse it into bold, new theatrical work.

Born online in 2020 via the Theatre Is Dead Festival, FKT was created by and for emerging artists feeling unmoored in the new, pandemic-fucked theatrical world. Since then, our season has expanded to include multiple annual festivals, a residency, and some in-person programming in New York, through which we have generated a wonderful community of artists spanning the globe and a wide range of genres and disciplines
