Nick, a two-time artistic director of the Rob Players and Max, two-time president of the Robinson Players, have their own theater company entitled "The Brouhaha Theater Project" in NYC.
As stated on their website, The Brouhaha Theatre Project investigates different relationships between the audience and performers in strange and exciting spaces. Their work is ensemble-based and multi-disciplinary, often interspersing found text with live music and dance
Founded by Nick Auer and Max Pendergast in 2015, Brouhaha aims to connect artists of many disciplines to devise new plays and performances. "We love making theatre that is bizarre, rowdy, and provocative."
Their first production, Tunnel Odyssey, (featuring Bates Theater alums Gunnar Manchester '15, and Hanna Allerton '15) opened on May 5th, staged in Prospect Park's historic and stunning Meadowport Arch.
