WordPlay is back!
March 13-14
From hilarity to heartbreak, WordPlay is true stories told by real people set to music spun by a live DJ. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll get an extremely intimate look into the life of a total stranger.
Our Box Office is Fred Frances
WordPlay stories are true
Immersives are deep
And we're all about YOU
Happy Valentine's Day to our Bricolage Family from the Bricolage Team. You are the HEART of our company. Thank you for coming to our shows, donating, volunteering, bringing us cake, and for being your sweet, charming, darling selves. We really couldn't do our wild adventurous work without YOU.
Mya, our sweet office dog, is back at work today after being sick for two weeks. Welcome back, Mya!

We are ALWAYS accepting new stories for Wordplay. Find out how to submit your story here: www.bricolagepgh.org/get-involved/#work-with-us
Happy 2020 Yinz! We hope you’re enjoying the new year as much as Development Manager Nicole’s dog, Mya! We’re still on break but we’ll be back on January 13.
#BehindTheScenes: A newer addition to our Bricolage family, Emma Oaks joined us as a Production Assistant during Project Amelia. Since then she’s been volunteering every week, helping with everything from Development to decorations.
#BehindTheScenes: Our 2019 wouldn’t have been as bright if we hadn’t met Nicole White! She laid about a mile of LED tape as master electrician during Project Amelia and jumped in to help strike the Yinzer Scrooged set, even though we called her last minute!
Next up in our #BehindTheScenes series is superstar volunteer, Karen Hannon. Whether it’s helping to build a set, or showering our staff and crew with encouragement and food, Karen can be seen volunteering behind the scenes at most Bricolage productions. Here she is during the build of Project Amelia setting up homemade snacks for the crew!
Welcome to #behindthescenes, a new series where we pull back the curtain to highlight the incredible humans that make our shows possible. First up is Daniel Burns! A jack of all trades, talented creator, and humble genius, Daniel has worked with us on Bazaar, Project Amelia, and Yinzer Scrooged!
