The Brothers Orphan
Texan brothers Ronny, Jeffrey and Jamie are thrown together after years living separate lives when they are orphaned at ages 55, 54 and 46. As they sift through the family home, they return to their juvenile selves but their adult afflictions—addiction, resentments, mental illness—threaten to burn the house down. Packed with funny, touching, bawdy and picaresque tales told by “natural raconteur” (Washington Post) and 6-time Moth champ Jamie Brickhouse, it’s a darkly comic show of sibling rivalry and revelry. The baby of the family, Jamie discovers he’s the only adult of three and struggles to make hard decisions from who gets the silver to pulling the plug.
Award-winning writer and storyteller Jamie Brickhouse has recorded voices on Beavis and Butthead, appeared on PBS-TV’s Stories from the Stage and The Moth Podcast, and his daily #storiesinheels TikTok videos have over 6 million views, one million likes, and 75 thousand followers.
