The Apollo's Works in Process series continues with Bricks, a new musical by Charlene Jean and Franklin Rankin. In Bricks, a mother represses the gifts of her daughter hoping to protect her innocence from a world that has torn their lives apart. But as her daughter comes of age, she learns the truth of her purpose and the spirits who guide her. Will a mother's love trump the power of the spirit world, and can this sacred mother-daughter relationship survive the betrayal of lies for the sake of their own safety?
