Get ready for our 7th annual Bricolage Urban Scrawl 24-hour theater fundraiser! Each year, inspired by our theater’s proximity to a busy downtown bus stop, we send 6 local playwrights on a 90-minute ride on a Pittsburgh city bus. Each writer has 12 hours to write a 10-minute play inspired by their journey, which the directors and actors then have the next 12 hours to rehearse, memorize and stage LIVE for our audience that same evening -- exactly 24 hours after the first meeting. B.U.S. is more than a festival, and MUCH more than a typical fundraiser. It’s a whirlwind weekend of collaboration, creativity, and sleep deprivation, bringing many of Pittsburgh’s greatest talents together to pull off an artistic feat of epic proportions. Tickets: VIP Backstage Pass - $125 (both Friday and Saturday nights) Regular Ticket - $100 (Saturday only) The VIP Backstage Pass let you be part of the action – experience our unique form of “auditions” and meet the whole team Friday night while enjoying beverages and snacks. Then return Saturday to see the unbelievable final product! Saturday night - the main event - features a silent auction, a film retrospective of the past 24-hours, an open bar, delicious hors d’oeuvres, and performances of ten brand-new plays by some of Pittsburgh’s leading talent. See you on the B.U.S.!
