"With such a fun cast and script, who wouldn’t want to join this crew on their adventure to the emerald city? Only someone, perhaps, without a brain."

Bazaar: A Micro Immersive Carnival
"There were plenty of carnival games and performances, including Joseph Kerr the fire breather, acrobatics by ThaCrowBats and fire gypsy Kai Phoenix. DJ Pandemic kept the soundtrack carnival-cool as guests gathered to take a shot at the dunk tank, play ring toss and visit the food trucks."

Immersive Theater Experience Was Designed With Autism-Spectrum Audiences In Mind
"But there’s no conventional narrative. Rather, families wander a forest-themed playground decked out with life-sized, corrugated-cardboard trees, meeting hand-puppet animals and friendly park rangers. There are sing-alongs, sensory-based activities, crafts and more."

The 10 best Pittsburgh theater experiences of 2017
The biggest of Bricolage’s go-big-or-go-home immersive projects was a mysterious, eerie and even a bit spiritual trip through the innards of the city’s largest venue, the Carnegie Museums of Art and Natural History.

"The Clearing" at Bricolage Production Company
"What’s on offer here is a small journey into your own relationship to fear, worry, anxiety, truth, lies, and betrayal – which means that (as with each of the immersive works Bricolage has created to date) your experience will be unique, personal, idiosyncratic, and quite possibly – as was my case – uncannily refreshing."

Radio twist brings 'A Christmas Story' to life on stage
The result, as “Midnight Radio” fans know, is guaranteed fun. Bricolage has made the genre its own (maybe even invented it) and has polished it to a happy sheen.

Bricolage's BUS Ride Through Light-Speed Theater
"Throughout 24 frenzied hours, the boundary-pushing theater group assembles a roster of talented directors, writers and performers, divides them into groups and challenges them to produce an original work with the clock ticking."

Children's Theater Festival takes over Pittsburgh's Cultural District
“The immersive piece tells a story of a personal quest into a land filled with whimsical characters and enchanted terrain. It is sensory-sensitive, from the lighting and costumes to the design of the sound stage”

Beyond the Comfort Zone at the WoW and BOSSS Festivals
“The best show at WoW was one I didn’t see. Instead, it was one that I smelled, listened to, and touched. In Bricolage’s OjO (“eye” in Spanish), I was blindfolded and taken on a trip to Mumbai, where the sound of the street bustle hit my ears, where curry tingled my nose (and made my stomach growl), and a chicken ran past my bare leg, making me flinch. At one point, I was at a bass-heavy dance party and someone grabbed my hand and asked me to dance.”

Stage review: 'SAINTS TOUR' draws visitors into a communion with Braddock
"Nothing is more eye-opening than the view back over the Mon Valley from the top of the Monongahela Cemetery, the distant sky painted golden red as evening falls. Has new-mown grass ever smelled sweeter? Have the shimmering towers of Pittsburgh far to the west ever seemed more magical? Later, in another direction, the fairy lights of Kennywood come into view.”

The Walls Come Tumbling Down
"If in proscenium theatre the playwright is king, then in immersive theatre the audience wears the crown. In order to get a full experience, a person attending an immersive show might need to sing for his or her supper by walking around, snooping through drawers, talking to actors, playing at dying—things that are not usually allowed in a proscenium house. And, in most cases, spectators will not see everything. "
