Brown’s Musical Forum has just announced their new production of Sondheim’s “West Side Story” will take place inside a vacant bathroom stall in the basement of Sayles Hall.

“So many of the venues that the university has to offer are all way too big,” said Director Angie Bangert. “The moment we saw this venue, we knew it was perfect. We weren’t able to reserve the rest of the bathroom, but we think that actually adds to the intimacy of the experience. It was designed to make you ask, ‘how could this possibly be worth producing?’ It’s a little unconventional, but we think our audience member is really going to love it.”

“Ultimately, we just were not willing to prioritize venue capacity over the show’s needs,” continued Bangert. “The show’s emphasis on these characters’ duty just feels so natural in there. We feel terrible for anyone who wasn’t able to get the only ticket to see the show, but we encourage any big fans to come early and try and reserve a spot in one of the neighboring stalls.”

At press time, Brown Concert Agency has announced that this semester’s Spring Weekend ticket will soon become available at the bottom of a pool of snakes.
