B.U.S. Bricolage Urban Scrawl

Friday, February 27, 2015 7:00 pm

10th Annual B.U.S. Bricolage Urban Scrawl

When: February 27-28, 2015

Back for its 10th year, B.U.S. (Bricolage Urban Scrawl) is a fundraiser that puts theatre-making at the heart of the event. Bricolage will collaborate with over 40 local theatre artists, asking them to risk their creative necks for this unconventional and exhilarating fundraiser experience. Inspired by a 90-minute city bus ride, these daring artists have just 24 hours to write, direct, and memorize six new 10-minute plays. The last stop on the journey is an unforgettable performance at The New Hazlett Theater.

There are a number of ways to enjoy this unique event. Begin your journey at Bricolage on Friday night, February 27 with a “Double Decker” ticket, making you a “fly on the wall” with a behind-the-scenes view at the creation of B.U.S. 10—watch as 24 of the bravest performers in Pittsburgh let down their guard and show off who they really are. Or hop on board for the main event on Saturday, February 28 and enjoy cocktails and hors d'oeuvres served in the New Hazlett’s beautiful lobby. Both tickets will put you front and center as the curtain rises on six brand new plays created by, for and about the people of Pittsburgh.

B.U.S. is a fundraiser that will support Bricolage’s 2015 season and gives both distinguished stage veterans and Pittsburgh stage ‘newbies’ the opportunity to put their theatrical skills to the test. Some of this year’s playwrights include veteran B.U.S. riders, Vanessa German, Melissa Martin and Mark Clayton Southers. Jump on the B.U.S., take a seat, and watch as the stories unfold. Whether you’re on board for one or both nights, it’s going to be an amazing ride.
