BRIGHT COLORS AND BOLD PATTERNS Celebrates 100 Performances, Announces Bright Pass  Image

Bright Colors And Bold Patterns - the hit play hailed as "devastatingly funny" by The New York Times - will celebrate its landmark 100th show today, Wednesday, February 21, with the BRIGHT PASS which will offer unlimited access to Bright Colors and Bold Patterns performances. 100 Passes are available for $100 each, available at: https://www.brightcolorsandboldpatterns.com/brightpass

Producer Zach Laks adds, "Bright Colors And Bold Patterns gives audiences an incredible jolt of energy that has led to a staggering return rate. With so many fans of the show revisiting often, we are thrilled to offer the ultimate escape from the doldrums of winter with the BRIGHT PASS! Come join us and bask in the balmy Palm Springs breeze nightly."

Here's how it works: Each BRIGHT PASS is valid for one admission to each performance of Bright Colors and Bold Patterns at Soho Playhouse through March 11. Once enrolled, your BRIGHT PASS seat must be reserved by emailing a Bright Pass Concierge by 2:00 PMthe day of the performance. Seating is based on availability. The BRIGHT PASS is non-transferable.

The show, which extended its current run by two weeks after stellar reviews and popular demand, continues its triumphant run Off Broadway at SoHo Playhouse (15 Vandam Street, between 6th Avenue and Varick Street in Manhattan). The New York Times raves that new star Jeff Hiller is "riotously funny" and delivers a "surprisingly nuanced performance." RuPaul added "Jeff Hiller is Fantastic! Sharp, clever, funny, witty." Hiller ("Nightcap," "30 Rock," Broadway's Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson) performs the show through Sunday, March 11. Tickets are on sale at BrightColorsandBoldPatterns.com.

The show's author and original star Drew Droege (the internet's "Chloë," "Drunk History," and "Heathers" on Paramount TV in 2018) concluded his New York run last month and plans to bring the production around the country on a national tour. Directed by Michael Urie (Torch Song, Buyer & Cellar, "Ugly Betty"), Bright Colors and Bold Patterns has returned to New York following a smash three-week engagement last season.

Bright Colors And Bold Patterns is a riotous new solo play that storms the stage with ferocity and wit, deemed "hilarious" and "uproarious" by The New Yorker, "fantastic" and "pure magic" by Time Out New York, and "side-splitting" and "fresh" from The Huffington Post. It has also been hailed as "raucous, witty and occasionally moving" by The Daily Beast, "a very funny play" by The New York Post, "outrageous and stinging" by Out Magazine and "relentlessly funny" by Buzzfeed.

Josh and Brennan are about to get married in Palm Springs on a lovely Saturday afternoon. However, the night before becomes a drunken, drug-fueled riot, because their friend Gerry has arrived, furious that their invitation says "Please refrain from wearing bright colors or bold patterns." In the struggle for equality, what do we really want? What do we lose? And is there any cocaine left?

Bright Colors And Bold Patterns features set design by Dara Wishingrad and is produced by Zach Laks in association with Riki Kane Larimer. Tom Detrinis serves as associate producer.

Bright Colors And Bold Patterns was originally presented at VS Theatre in Los Angeles and directed by Molly Prather. It was remounted at Celebration Theatre in Los Angeles and transferred to the Barrow Street Theatre in 2016.

Tickets start at $59. The performance schedule and further information are available at www.BrightColorsandBoldPatterns.com.
