GRIMM is a brand-new collection of short plays by Boston’s most celebrated playwrights inspired by their favorite Grimm brother’s fairytales. Looking for a sweet, soothing tale to carry you away toward dreamland? Look somewhere else.

These stories originally by the Brothers Grimm have been remixed, re-imagined and given a fresh Boston twist! Featuring new work by John ADEkoje (SIX ROUNDS/ SIX LESSONS) Lydia R. Diamond (Stick Fly, Voyeurs De Venus), Marcus Gardley (DANCE OF THE HOLY GHOSTS), Kirsten Greenidge (103 Within the Veil, THE GIBSON GIRL), Melinda Lopez (Sonia Flew), John Kuntz (THE SUPERHEROINE MONOLOGUES, SALT GIRL), and Gregory Maguire (WICKED)!

Delicious, seductive and surprising. You do not want to miss this sensational world-premiere!

Join us on May 24th @ 8p for Grimm Reading in the Roberts Theatre, BCA Calderwood Pavilion.
