File this under: it’s a Brooklyn thing but it’s taking place in Manhattan.

Plays by playwrights from Mac Wellman’s Brooklyn College MFA program are being presented in the seventh-annual Bring a Weasel and a Pint of Your Own Blood Festival.

Graduates of the experimental Brooklyn College program, led by the celebrated playwright Mac Wellman, have helped to shape New York downtown theatre over the last 10 years. Alumni of the program include Thomas Bradshaw, Annie Baker, Young Jean Lee and Ken Urban. This festival, now in its seventh year, has been called “a breeding ground for new work.”

How could I not post about something with a name like that.
