About Bricolage Production Company
Bricolage is Pittsburgh’s immersive theater. Our goal is to expand the boundaries of theater by creating transformative experiences that include the audience as a central partner.
Words on Wednesday.
A heartbreaking work of staggering beauty and pain.

A Small Needful Fact
Ross Gay
Is that Eric Garner worked
for some time for the Parks and Rec.
Horticultural Department, which means,
perhaps, that with his very large hands,
perhaps, in all likelihood,
he put gently into the earth
some plants which, most likely,
some of them, in all likelihood,
continue to grow, continue
to do what such plants do, like house
and feed small and necessary creatures,
like being pleasant to touch and smell,
like converting sunlight
into food, like making it easier
for us to breathe.

ANNOUNCEMENT: After much consideration, we’ve made the decision to cancel the March 13 and 14 performances of WordPlay. We will be automatically refunding all tickets. While we’ve been looking forward to these performances, Allegheny County officials have recommended that residents avoid events where they will have close contact with large groups of people, and we are following their guidance. Safety is number one right now, and we hope you understand that this choice was made in order to put people before profits, because, after all, that’s our mission. We care deeply about our community and encourage you all to take any steps within your reach to protect yourselves and the people around you.
Love,
Your Bricolage Team
