Event Description

Ignored by press, shunned by snobs, hated by haters, but LOVED by everyone who saw it last year, PITTSBURGH BATMAN is returning to the stage in 2014!

Written and directed by Lord Grunge (of indie-cult-rap band Grand Buffet), PITTSBURGH BATMAN is an adventure in satire. The cultural essence of the 'Batman' paradigm has been assassinated, shredded, combined with Pittsburgh Power, and rebuilt. The result is a hilariously vulgar display of hilarity and vulgarity. The Dark Knight is presented as never before, which is to say: Pittsburgh-Style.

Featuring music composed by Grand Buffet, as well as live musical performances by an ensemble cast featuring the members of Grand Buffet, indie-rock legend/original ‘vlogger’ Weird Paul Petroskey, Ultimate Donny (formerly of the legendary band Gil Mantera’s Party Dream), drag queen-extraordinaire Varian ‘Tising’ Huddleston, comedian Davon Magwood, and many more. Also making a special appearance in this year’s run of the play is underground hip-hop mastermind Sage Francis!

After rapidly selling out three nights at the prestigious Bricolage last year, PITTSBURGH BATMAN has moved to the illustrious Kelly-Strayhorn Theater in historic East Liberty, and while there are more seats available then there were last year, odds are they’re still going to go FAST. Don’t miss out on this epic event! Shows are happening on March 20th, 21st, and 22nd, 2014.

(While this show is ALL AGES, it does feature some raunchy language, and children should be accompanied by adults.)

DOORS ARE AT 8PM. SHOWTIME IS AT 9PM.
