The Red Hook Glass Bottom Dramatical Players will be performing this farce at Jalopy Theatre on March 22nd-24th.  This play is a comedy that the Village Voice calls “hysterically funny”.  We saw this sign hanging in the window of Red Hook Bait and Tackle bar at 320 Van Brunt street and it says you can […]
