Brooklyn Center Presents
Aquila Theatre Company
William Shakespeare's
A Midsummer Night's Dream
Shakespeare’s timeless comedy weaves a web of theatrical
magic that takes audiences to an enchanted forest on the
longest night of the year, as two sets of lovers and a
bumbling troupe of amateur actors cross paths with
members of the fairy kingdom, creating an endless supply
of mirth, mistaken identity, and ridiculous passions.
Praised by The New York Times as a production that
“soothes the eye and tickles the funny bone,” this is
one Dream you won’t want to wake up from!

The Brooklyn College Department
of Theatre Presents
SEASON
PREMIERE!
Melanie Marnich's
Tallgrass Gothic
Directed by
Justin Ball
A Thesis Production
Based on the Jacobean tragedy
The Changeling,
Tallgrass Gothic
is a haunting ghost story where one woman’s
adulterous act is the catalyst for a violent
chain of events that unravels her small
Midwest town. From the Great Plains of
America, where longing is secret and wrath
unspoken, comes a harrowing tale with envy,
gluttony, greed and all the seven deadly
sins.

From Brooklyn
Center's
Community Showcase
Everybody's Magazine Presents
Oliver Samuels and Dahlia Harris
Patrick Brown's
Puppy Love
Featuring Earle Brown,
Glen Campbell,
Natalee Cole and
Camille Davis
Brooklyn Center is proud
to once again host Everybody's Magazine's production of the
wildly funny, all new comedy Puppy Love, directed by Patrick Brown and
Trevor Nairne.
Puppy Love
is fun, tantalizing, intriguing and
simply hilarious! Oliver is at his
comedic best and so is Dahlia Harris,
one of today's most talented actresses
on the Jamaican stage.
Magnificent directing and set design by
Trevor Nairne are a fitting compliment
to the brilliant writing by playwright
Patrick Brown. Although Puppy Love
is a comedy, there are serious dramatic
elements which explore friendship, love
and family relationships.
