Uglyrhino's 2012 Micro-season
| Open: 08/15/12 Close: 08/31/12
UglyRhino's 2012 micro-season of new musical plays, live bands and parties will take place this August at The Brooklyn Lyceum. Our micro-seasons place two plays at the heart of a larger artistic celebration, providing a variety of events on any given evening. What results is a social experience you can’t find in your traditional theater setting. The third annual micro-season will focus on music, featuring two entirely new musical plays developed by the UglyRhino team, as well as a variety of live bands and DJs. These mainstage plays explore the unifying themes of personal, sexual and creative awakenings through unique musical compositions. The Awakening Adapted from the novella by Kate Chopin Conceived and written by Bryce Norbitz and Nicole Rosner Directed by Nicole Rosner An original play with songs adapted from Kate Chopin’s classic novella of the same name, The Awakening tells the story of Edna Pontellier’s struggle to reconcile her newfound sexual awakening with the prevailing attitudes and conservative social conventions of late nineteenth-century Louisiana. “Edna began to feel like one who awakens gradually out of a dream, a delicious, grotesque, impossible dream, to feel again the realities pressing into her soul.” GLAMDROMEDA Directed by Danny Sharron Book by Bryce Norbitz Music by Ben Bonnema Lyrics by Zayre Ferrer One part rock concert, one part theatrical experience, GLAMDROMEDA explores the relationship between glam rock music, sexual desire, and visual hedonism. Using the backdrop of the glam rock movement, we follow our protagonist and his newly formed rock star alter ego through an epic journey of self-discovery in the wake of a life-altering glam concert.

Warehouse Of Horrors: Gowanus '73
| Open: 10/11/12 Close: 11/02/12
This Halloween, UglyRhino turns The Brooklyn Lyceum into a brand new spooky, boozy warehouse of tragedies and terrors. Following the success of Halloween 2011′s Warehouse of Horrors, UglyRhino will return with six brand new stories and curated cocktails. With a similar format as the sold-out run of March’s Centralia, the UglyRhino creative team has developed a new interactive warehouse experience, based on the true events from in and around the Brooklyn Lyceum, which will expand to include a haunted house element. Warehouse of Horrors: Gowanus '73 explores the seedy underbelly of 1970’s Brooklyn. After a string of mysterious and grotesque murders at an underground rave party, a complex web of mafia relations, crooked cops, and dangerous drug dealers is revealed. A peek into the twisted and true history of the area, the show combines non-traditional storytelling with a social atmosphere, enveloping audiences deep into the world of the play as they encounter characters, hear their stories and sip on cocktails. Each audience member of Warehouse of Horrors: Gowanus '73 will have a distinctly unique experience as they travel around the warehouse and try to ensure they are not the next one to go.
