20th Anniversary Season with The EDGE
The EDGE Improv has performed to sell-out crowds regularly at BPA for two decades, and this season marks their 20th anniversary. On the first Saturday of each month, the troupe presents an ingeniously improvised evening of on-the-spot comedy, all from audience suggestions. The troupe's riotous antics have earned a devoted community of followers, and have inspired rave reviews and commentary from audience and troupe members alike.

"If I'd only done this sooner."
- Frank Buxton (Esteemed member of THE EDGE)

BPA Gallery: "Whimsical Self Portraits"

By participants of the Bainbridge Island Special Needs Foundation

Exhibit runs throughout January 2015

Join us in the BPA Gallery January 2 for a special artist reception and a fun evening of art, food, and friends. The Bainbridge Island Special Needs Foundation is a day program providing a safe, fun and educational environment for special needs adults. The fused-glass self portraits on exhibit at the BPA Gallery in January are an expression of the individuality and colorful vision that the participants bring to a community. They were created in collaboration with the Mesolini Glass Studio, who donated their time and materials for the project. These works were last on display at the Seattle Art Museum in September 2014.
