In the Brick Theater's new adaptation of the classic '50s pulp-fiction mystery by Evelyn Piper, Blanche Lake goes to pick up her daughter -- a three-year-old nicknamed Bunny -- at an Upper East Side nursery school, but the little girl seems to have vanished into thin air. As Blanche's frantic search continues, the authorities and others begin to cast doubts on her story, forcing her to solve the mystery behind the strange disappearance herself. Set in the 1950s, this stylish noir-inspired production features Olivia Baseman (The Wrestler), Justin Holcomb (Channeling Kevin Spacey) and Victoria Anne Miller (Plan 9 From Outer Space).

For an off-off broadway production, the acting and pace of the piece was wonderful.

October, 1957. New York City. Blanche Lake cannot find her 3 year old daughter after a day at nursery school on the Upper East Side. But neither can the faculty, police or psychiatrist. As her search grows more frantic, the city looks more down upon the young Blanche, forcing her to take matters into her own hands.

Based on the 1957 pulp fiction mystery by Evelyn Piper (and which was made into the cult classic 1965 film by Otto Preminger), Bunny Lake is Missing brings to life Blanche Lake's struggle to prove herself and find her daughter in a noir-inspired production using a unique blend of performances by Olivia Baseman (The Wrestler), Justin Holcomb (Channeling Kevin Spacey) and Victoria Anne Miller (Plan 9 From Outer Space) and production elements, including music and sound design by Chris Chappell (AdventureQuest).
