About The Event

BAM hosts the 16th annual Bring a Weasel and a Pint of Your Own Blood Festival, showcasing new plays written and presented by 2024 graduates of the Brooklyn College MFA Playwriting program:

Tracy Carns
Nurit Chinn
Lori Felipe-Barkin
Leslie Gauthier
Utkarsh Rajawat
Madison Wetzell

This year’s plays are all inspired by The Marriage of Heaven and Hell by the 18th century poet, artist, and iconoclastic visionary William Blake, common source material suggested by program directors Sibyl Kempson and Dennis A. Allen II. Playwrights, directors, designers, and actors from Brooklyn College and the wider NYC theater community collaborate on these explosive, form-bending new works, presented in two programs featuring three plays apiece.
