Inside the Rehearsal Room: The Brothers Size
Enter the circle. Step inside the rehearsal room with the actors of "The Brothers Size."
Drawing from the rich tradition of the Yoruba people of West Africa, The Brothers Size is a modern-day fable about two brothers in the Deep South. Ogun, the elder brother, embodies hard work and reliability, while Oshoosi, formerly incarcerated, is seemingly carefree and unpredictable. Their relationship is tested when the charismatic Elegba arrives, tempting Oshoosi back to his old habits. As the brothers wrestle with loyalty, freedom, and duty, their humanity is revealed through a raw and heartfelt exploration of the bonds of brotherhood.
Kicking off his inaugural season as Geffen Playhouse Artistic Director, Tarell Alvin McCraney’s acclaimed play "The Brothers Size" celebrates its 20th anniversary in the intimate Audrey Skirball Kenis Theater.

Breathtaking 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
he’s so cute

Man, I only listen to Elwood.
I greatly appreciate the questions Mr. McCraney poses-so much to think about.
Aside from being an unbelievably talented playwright-poet, actor, and artist, McCraney speaks with more power and beauty than almost anyone ever. If I still lived on the west coast, I would travel to see this production with a cast curated by him -- it's going to be incredible!
Beautiful! Will this be coming to The Shed in NYC?
Compelling monologues! Bravo 👏🏽
Amazing.
Wait this is so beautiful. I LOVEEEEEE Rory O'Malley. I Am Mormon.
That’s Brian moser!!! Dexter’s brother
Just saw this show tonight. Absolutely blew me away. Easily the best show I’ve ever seen. Congrats on putting on such an amazing show!! Will definitely want to see again.
I love you Dule. Great song choice and you sang it very well. ❤❤

Wait I love this! I Am Mormon.

What a special treat, getting to see such a gifted performer doing the monologue that got him into drama school -- no set, no sound, no makeup, no director -- just an extremely talented artist and the shared reality existing only in our imaginations. I wish I could just watch this all day.
You voice is amazing.

Lovely! This is a great lavish production number but I never dreamed it would work this well as a solo. For one thing, you could hear every lyric! Bravo.
This looks great! Can't wait.
Lead actor is too stiff.
Elizabeth Mcgovern is clearly showing her age now, but her youthful beauty still shines through. She reminds me of Rosemary Harris in that way.
Alison Pill is such a great actress. Was just watching her in Devs, a fantastic miniseries from a few years ago
This is so wonderful.Her voice is excellent .🙂
