Sometimes My Partner find's these Great Blog postings about events that we would both love to go and see together. Thanks to Kotaku's info on a Show called Adventure quest which was also part of the Brick Theater Anti Depressant festival, we got our stuff together and headed out for the shows First play on stage yesterday. I really didn't know what to expect because i was told... Nicely (lol) Not to read the blog in fear that it would ruin the story. The Theater was small and housed maybe fifty to sixty people. I won't go into the play itself because hopefully others will see it before it leave's the theater, or it will reopen and one day others will get to see it to but i will say this much... The Play Written by Richard Lovejoy and Directed by Adam Swiderski, is suppose to be a video game adventure quest except live action and you get to watch the hero embark on his journey. Sound's simple right... Its more scandalous and funny then that because most of the time the hero is fighting with the game narrator Alley Scoot, who also acts as the person who tells him "no... you can not open the door" or "no... you can not piss on guard!" The Actor's and Actresses were amazingly talented and most played multiple characters in a cast of nine including Sarah Malinda Engelke as The Peasant Girl and Kent Meister as The Hero who I had the Pleasure of Posing for a Quick Picture in between shows.
Even though it seemed like they used a lot of props to pull off certain parts of the quest, they were very minimal. Everything was very intricate and they must have practiced for hour's to pull off just the Dialogue in it self. Had I not gone to this show I would never have known about that theater because I'm always in the city. You can be sure that I will be showing up at future Events at the brick house especially if The Anti Depressant Festival has anything to do with it!
