I was involved with Midnight Brainwash Revival from the beginning, working as Kirk Wood Bromley's dramaturg and producer.

I think it was 1998 when Kirk first thought about doing this play. We assembled our favorite actors for beers at a cafe on the corner of Avenue B and 8th Street. I remember Al Benditt, Howard Thoresen, Josh Spafford, and Matt Maher were there. I think there were more people, too.
