BRIGHT COLORS AND BOLD PATTERNS Enters Final Week of Performances

Bright Colors And Bold Patterns - the Off Broadway hit hailed as "scorchingly funny" by The New York Times - will celebrate the final week of its triumphant five-month run with the return of the show's author and original star Drew Droege from Thursday, April 5 through Monday, April 9. On the heels of its fourth extension, the final performances will be filmed by BroadwayHD, the premiere streaming service that brings live theater productions to viewers all over the world, to be broadcast later this season. The show will conclude its run after stellar reviews and popular demand at SoHo Playhouse (15 Vandam Street, between 6th Avenue and Varick Street in Manhattan). Tickets are on sale at BrightColorsandBoldPatterns.com.

BRIGHT PASS, which offers unlimited access to the show, is available for $100 each. Details are at http://www.brightcolorsandboldpatterns.com/brightpass

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. After the run closes, Droege plans to bring the production around the country on a national tour.

The BroadwayHD production will be produced by Stewart F. Lane and Bonnie Comley and directed by David Horn, executive producer of PBS's Great Performances for WNET. The multi-camera capture will deliver the live performance specifically for a streaming audience, bringing this unique performance to life for viewing to subscribers anytime, anywhere.

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.
