May 2010:
Game Night, Three Rivers Arts Festival, The Dirty Ball...
Look! Upcoming!
Game Night and the Seven-Minute Dance Series
Friday, May 28
8pm - 12am
Attack Theatre Intergalactic Headquarters
2425 Liberty Avenue, Strip District
$5 suggested admission
Kick off your Memorial Day Weekend with some good old-fashioned schoolyard fun, games, and dancing: 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 getting down to some sweet jams by Gordy G.
Between games and dancing, enjoy seven-minute performances featuring excerpts from our newly commissioned piece, R.A.M., for the Three Rivers Arts Festival.
In addition (as if that weren't enough), we need help finishing all the leftover libations from The Dirty Ball - and there may even be a return of some your favorite installations from the event.
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 Pistella's Beer Distributor, Yuengling, and UPMC.
R.A.M.
June 4 at 6:00pm
June 5 at 12:30pm and 3:30pm

Commissioned by the Three Rivers Arts Festival and Gateway to the Arts, Attack Theatre's R.A.M. is a new contemporary dance work that tells a story of Ram and his frantic rush to recover lost memories. When his circuits crash, Ram relies on his network of friends (Url, Surge, Giga, and Flash) to help reformat the scrambled bits and bytes of his past. With a new score created and performed by the Attack Theatre Band, this performance is a physically dynamic work that is appropriate for audiences of all ages.
