Exposed Brick Theatre

CHANGING THE CANON 0F THEATER -ONE STORY AT A TIME

Exposed Brick Theatre is a Twin Cities based theater company.  Founded in 2004 by Aamera Siddiqui and Suzy Messerole, we are dedicated to telling untold stories, centering omitted narratives & creating art at the intersection of identities.   We create opportunities for artists & audiences from historically excluded communities to experience theater from a place of belonging.

20 YEARS OF CREATING NEW WORK

For 20 years, we have been creating new work for the stage!  We have produced 18 world premiere productions, from our very first piece Draw Two Circles, to world premieres by Stacey Parshall Jensen, Ashawnti Sakina Ford, Siddeeqah Shabazz, Nora Montañez Patterson & Ehkhudah Zar (among many others) to the incredible work of playwright/Co-Artistic Director, Aamera Siddiqui.  Tackling important topics in culturally specific and culturally responsive ways has been a hallmark of our productions.  Our most recent production of Aamera Siddiqui's  Log Kya Kahenge ("What Will People Say") is a great example.

This year our goal is to raise $5,000 to support brand new work for the stage, foster early-career playwrights, fuel amazing partnerships, and engage students through meaningful workshops and residencies in schools, including supporting the Through Our Eyes 2 Festival  in the fall of 2025, which will showcase new work by our Through Our Eyes playwright cohort!

Donate TODAY and together we can change the canon of theater - one story at a time!
