Monster Literature is an action-packed and hilarious live theater series that celebrates great works of children’s literature that kids can read NOW. It follows the continuing adventures of 12-year-old Benjy Bleeglehorn, and her dashing sidekick Bravo Kirkwood, as they attempt to stop the evil wizard Zorlan Morlan from sending his monster armies into great works of children’s literature. With each new adventure, there are new friends to be made, new stories to fixed, and new lessons to be learned!

The series is produced by Mainspring Collective at the Brooklyn Lyceum in Park Slope, written and conceived by Brooklyn-based playwright Daniel John Kelley, and is directed by Dara Malina. These high energy performances run approximately 30 minutes, and incorporate original music, dance, masks and puppetry in order to provide an entertaining and educational experience for children ages 5 and up. As Mainspring Collective and the Brooklyn Lyceum believe that quality children’s programming should be both accessible and affordable, ticket prices are a recession friendly $5 per ticket, with group rates available.

The Brooklyn Lyceum is an arts venue located in Park Slope, Brooklyn at 227 4th Avenue, directly above the R Train to Union Street. Photos, reviews, video teasers, and more information are available at www.monsterliterature.com. Tickets to Monster Literature can be purchased in advance online or same-day at the box office.
