    Bradley Wrenn as Tommy Ross with Erik Ransom as Carrie White

    Q&A with Michael Alltop
    Director, Carrie
    Producing Artistic Director, BRAT Production

    What about Erik Jackson’s script made you say “Okay, we have to do this!”? What about Erik Jackson’s adaptation of Carrie is decisively BRAT?

    Michael Alltop: I met Erik through a mutual friend when I was looking for a writer to help BRAT create a new musical based on the songs of Devo. (Yep, that’s coming in 2012!) Erik sent me some of his plays, and Carrie was one of them. Just a few pages in, I knew I wanted to direct this play. At the time I thought BRAT was going to remount Haunted Poe for Halloween, but when we had to vacate the space where we had produced the show, I knew I needed something, and quickly. I had Carrie right in front of me, and the pieces all just fell into place…telekinetically, you might say.
