Upcoming
Game Night and the Seven-Minute Dance Series
Friday, January 29, 2010
8pm - 11pm
2425 Liberty Avenue, Strip District
$5 suggested donation
Step out of the cold, and into one hot space 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 - including an entire video game room, life-size chess, human bowling, and anything else we can come up with in the next week.
Between the old-school games and the high-school drinks, enjoy seven minute dance performances. Voted one of the best places to meet singles in Pittsburgh and the “Best Place to Play Four-Square with Professional Dancers," Game Night is sponsored in part by UPMC, Pistella's Beer Distributor and Yuengling.
Assemble This is a two-week artistic jaunt of dance and live music that transforms galleries and museums into a wickedly entertaining kinetic canvas. Join the adventure as Attack Theatre creates “delicious moments of intimacy” between audience, artist, and artwork. Every show is a unique performance event of conversation, creation, dance and music that combines the planned and the spontaneous. Attack Theatre asks you to Assemble This and immerse yourself in a world premiere each night.
