On March 17th, 2007 the first Art Olympic Theatre was held at the Mattress Factory. After receiving funding from Sprout, the event traveled to the Union Project, PCA, Market Square and the New Hazlett Theater. I’m thinking of bringing the event back to Pittsburgh with a new format that could include more audience participation and more hot glue than ever!
