Occupy Arden Hills; or, Brother Can You Spare a Dome?
“The company's newest revue shows that it still has its satirical mojo. ‘Occupy’ is chock full of the kind of send-ups that have been the company's stock in trade since its 1958 founding.”
Rohan Preston, Star Tribune
“a breezy and funny look at the state of the world” Ed Huyck, City Pages

In Occupy Arden Hills: or, Brother Can You Spare a Dome? the Brave New Workshop has one simple demand: let the good times roll! At a time when almost all of us are unhappy about something, the BNW steps up to inject its civilly disobedient satire and greed-less laughter into our changing world. While TIME Magazine names The Protestor 2011 Person of the Year and Minnesotans bicker over how to find and fund a new stadium, the BNW is busy skewering it all with the social and political fodder that revels in unrest and has made the theatre the comedy choice for angry citizens since 1958. This hilarious collection of new sketches and songs delivers 99% laughter (and 1% rage) in a time when it is surely needed.
