City Theatre Presents WHERE DID WE SIT ON THE BUS?

City Theatre has announced the details of the third show of the season: Where Did We Sit on the Bus? written and performed by Brian Quijada. Where Did We Sit on the Bus? stages a hip-hop autobiography about growing up Latinx in a world that categorizes everyone in black and white. It is directed by Chay Yew, Artistic Director of Victory Gardens Theater, in Chicago, and will run in the City Theatre Lester Hamburg Studio Theatre, January 19 - February 24, 2019. Tickets are on sale now.

Where Did We Sit on the Bus? was originally produced at Teatro Vista/Victory Gardens in Chicago, directed by Mr. Yew. The Off-Broadway run at Ensemble Studio Theatre was nominated for two Drama Desk Awards in 2017.

"Where Did We Sit on the Bus? encapsulates our 2018/19 season theme of 'your world, our stage'," says Director of New Play Development, Clare Drobot. "We're thrilled to bring Brian Quijada and Chay Yew to Pittsburgh with a production that's both timely and immensely engaging. It's a joy to watch Brian's story unfold and see the magic of what one performer and a laptop can do. In addition to featuring a tour de force performance, the play's themes of family, heritage, and an artist finding his voice will deeply resonate with our community."

In a continued effort to better serve the community, City is continuing Pick-Your-Price-Previews: tickets start at just $5 (plus fees) to all performances January 19- 24. See details at CityTheatreCompany.org. This offer may not be combined with discounts.
