Adventure Quest, currently playing at the Brick Theater as part of the Antidepressent Festival, will also be part of the theater's Game Play celebration, which will have a variety of video game related performances throughout July. If you've seen it (don't be shy, there is love of theater here at the 'stiq), let us know what you thought.

I live up in Alaska, so if it were local, which I doubt, I'd try to go to it in person. Would there be a DVD for sale offically that could ship to Alaska?

if it's a small thing in brooklyn you'd probably call it off-off broadway... big venues like blue man group are off-broadway

I wince when I see the staged still-photos used to promote plays.

I'd go if I lived closer. But thanks for the Into the Woods reference...I do love Into the Woods, but every time it comes up I just imagine that Wolf and get completely creeped out.
Excuse me while I rewatch Bernadette Peters rapping about vegetables to clear my mind.

Holy crap, and I thought I was the only one who got the Into the Woods nod. ... and now I have the image of the wolf in my head, too. Thanks.
Next up, an off-Broadway production of Maniac Mansion, where the audience must pick three cast members and hope for the best!

Adventure Quest?
I was a level 61 guardian, dragon slayer lycan of the Aerodu clan.
Anyways I live in FL so I don't think there would be one down here.

Dressing in drag is always good for jokes.

Eh, Evil Dead the Music was still the best off-off Broadway production.

As someone who used to do shows with Justin McElroy in college, I can confirm the man's participation in Musical Theatre. It's okay, Justin. We all spontaneously break into song from time-to-time.

I saw Into the Woods last year at the Idaho Shakespeare Festival (the definitive production no doubt) and yea that wolf was creepy. Where were plays like this last month when I was in New York, ended up seeing on Broadway stuff...

Into the woods, a very good musical. This....well, I guess I'd have to see it! But if you're comparing it to into the woods....thats quite a feat.
