The Tremendous Tremendous is the latest creation of The Mad Ones, whose award-winning Samuel & Alasdair: A Personal History of the Robot War was a hit at The Brick Theater last season. The Tremendous Tremendous takes place at the closing night party of the Traveling Abbotts, flush from their successful run performing their musical and dancing act at the 1939 World's Fair. Over the course the evening, it is revealed that the family has an unsettling secret.

Wonderfully intimate theater that lends itself perfectly to the character of the show itself. Lively performances by a talented young group. Imaginative show. Highly recommended if you like theater slightly off the beaten track.

Description

(Flushing, NEW YORK, 1939) It's been a tremendous summer here at the New York World's Fair, filled with technological marvels, real-life mermaids and those CAN'T-MISS showstoppers, The Tremendous Traveling Abbotts. Their arousing soft shoe, swinging musical skill and impeccable timing have left jaws here on the fairgrounds agape in awe. Bravo!

Join The Mad Ones, creators of last season's award-winning Samuel & Alasdair: A Personal History of the Robot War, as they pull back the curtain on a tremendous moment in American history and reveal the closing night party of those irascible Abbotts, a tremendous traveling family with an unsettling secret.

About the Ticket Supplier: The Brick Theater

The Brick and its company, The Brick Theater, Inc., were founded in 2002 by Robert Honeywell and Michael Gardner. Formerly an auto-body shop, a yoga center, and various storage spaces, this brick-walled garage in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, was completely refurbished as a state-of-the-art performance space.

The Brick has been home to many critically acclaimed premieres, including Memoirs of My Nervous Illness, Bizarre Science Fantasy, Tupperware Orgy, In a Strange Room (based on Faulkner's As I Lay Dying), Dear Dubya, Fallout Follies, World Gone Wrong, My Year of Porn, Who Is Wilford Brimley?, Jenna Is Nuts, Habitat, Absence of Magic, Assyrian Monkey Fantasy (in two movements), and The Pragmatists.

The Summer Theme Festival Series presented The Hell Festival in 2004, The Moral Values Festival in 2005, The $ellout Festival in 2006, and continues with The Pretentious Festival in Summer 2007. In addition, The Brick has also produced a short-works program called Brick-a-Brac, a collection of holiday-themed one-act plays known as The Baby Jesus One-Act Jubilee, and the hugely successful New York Clown Theatre Festival (the first of its kind in New York in more than 20 years).
