As news of BRICK The Play spread across the Internet, director Chris White was interviewed by Adam Kempenaar and Matty Robinson on Chicago Public Radio’s “Filmspotting” program.
And that’s how a theatre-trained cinephile in Australia heard about the play. Christopher Marchand, a student at Sydney’s Macquarie University, tracked Coach White down via e-mail, and invited the American high school teacher to visit Australia this October to make BRICK The Play there with the university’s student-run theatre society.
It will cost Chris about $2,500 to get from Greenville to Sydney. The students at Macquarie have promised to provide for his expenses during his two week residency, but a little help buying the plane ticket would be greatly appreciated.

Donated! There better be a video this time, dammit!
ReplyDeleteTHANKS Sarah! I'll see if I can get a clip or two from the SC/USA production uploaded, soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm interested in reading "Brick" and considering it for part of a future season. Is that a possibility?
