About OOBLE(Out Of the Brooklyn Lyceum Events)

We here at the Brooklyn Lyceum think that some of the non-heavyweights deserve some press and marketing love. This is our tiny attempt to even the scales.

OOBLE

Every independant venue, producer or artist should have an opportunity to be reviewed and marketed on equal footing with the heavy weights.  So lets get down to it.....

For now we have a list that we update of things we have seen (or will see) that we think you might like.  You should get off your a-- and go see it.  We are sure gonna try.  And so should you.

On the off chance that the Brooklyn Lyceum isn't all things to all people(although we do try), we hope to soon have the tickets for these events on sale here at the Brooklyn Lyceum.  That's when we have our own website -n- stuff.  

Click here for the OOBLE.org website (very rudimentary) where you can peruse more than the event highlighted here or you can contact us about an event you want included

For now... something from the OOBLE list...

     DeRobigne Mortimer Bennett was a remarkable historical figure. A Shaker herbalist, then a leading freethinker of 19th-century America, Bennett steadfastly took on the forces of narrow-mindedness. In his weekly Truth Seeker, Bennett boldly advocated birth control and women’s rights while opposing dogmatic religion. Ultimately, Bennett went to prison rather than remain silent.

    This event is free (suggested donation $5). Reservations are recommended. Reserve your ticket online today or call 718.768.7300.

    After the book signing, join Jeff Richman, Green-Wood Cemetery historian, for a trolley tour featuring Bennett’s elaborate monument (to “The Defender of Liberty and Its Martyr”), paid for by his followers, and Green-Wood’s other most fascinating inscribed monuments: a gravestone with a Victorian poem to a pug dog (“Only a dog, do you say, sir critic . . .”), a gravestone attacking “intoxicating liquour and tobacco,” and much more.

    The trolley tour is $20 / $10 for Historic Fund members. Reservations are recommended. Space is limited. To make reservations for the trolley tour, click here.
