Game Night and the Seven-Minute Dance Series
October 10
8pm – 11pm
2425 Liberty Avenue
Attack Theatre may have moved from the beloved Penn Avenue Arts Corridor and away from the Unblurred action to the Strip District (just a mere 1.6 mile trek away), but Game Night isn't going anywhere!
Attack Theatre is inviting you to the first Game Night and the Seven-Minute Dance Series of the season at their NEW location at 2425 Liberty Avenue. Come for some good old-fashioned schoolyard fun and games: Four-Square, backgammon, 3-D tic-tac-toe, vintage Atari games, darts and Connect Four - but this time there'll be new school games, too.
Between games, enjoy excerpts of new work from upcoming performances in November. Voted one of the best places to meet singles in Pittsburgh and the “Best Place to Play Four-Square with Professional Dancers." As always, there will be what makes Game Night, well, Game Night: old school games, new school dance and high school drinks. Sponsored in part by UPMC, Pistella's Beer Distributor and Yuengling.
Also, join Pittsburgh Opera and Attack Theatre from 12 - 3pm that day for a RADical Days Brown Bag/Game Day!

Incident[s] in the Strip
November 13, 14, 16, 17, 20 and 21
2425 Liberty Avenue
A door opens, a car passes, a curtain parts. Walking down the brick alley, inundated with competing aromas, sounds of passionate whispers, black and gold waves in the air. When the act of stillness is your only defense; what happens when you stop reacting?

Various Galleries and Museums throughout the city, including Andy Warhol Museum, Mattress Factory, August Wilson Center for African American Culture, Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh, SPACE, The Frick Art & Historical Center, Society for Contemporary Craft
Attack Theatre’s process/performance series, Assemble This, is a two-week artistic jaunt that turns the city, with the help of multiple galleries, museums and cultural institutions, into a “wickedly entertaining” kinetic canvas.

Combining dance, original live music, and visual art, Attack Theatre produces “delicious moments of intimacy” between the audience, artists and works of art.
