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.

"The Edge Improv is milk-through-the-nose funny. Really, I'm laughing right now."
- Rebecca Farwell, audience member

BPA Gallery: "Chicken Portraits"

Wood burned rustic cedar shingles and watercolor by Matt Pedersen

First Friday Art Walk: February 6
Exhibit runs throughout February 2015

Join us in the BPA Gallery February 6 for a special artist reception and a fun evening of art, food, and friends. Weathered cedar shingles are the backdrop for the finely detailed chicken portraits created by local artist Matt Pedersen. The use of watercolor and pyrography to etch the mood and emotion expressed by a magnificent and peculiar chicken captures an aspect of rural farming as well as the flourishing urban farming movement. IMAGE: "Ancona Rooster" (14" x 16"); Photo: Matt Pedersen.
