BRAWL! by Connor Ermir Bradshaw
March 18 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Dug into the backyard of Diesel Philips’ home is The Pit: the home and training ground for young boxers in the Mowbray Mountain valley.
Here, limbs lock until a bell dings or a body drops. Here, loving looks a lot like fighting. And here, boys don’t leave; they escape.
Playwright: Connor Ermir Bradshaw
Director: Danny Fender
Movement/Intimacy Director: Magdalena Dalzell
Dramaturg: Madie Doppelt
Lead Producer: Emma Durbin
