The BPP’s annual Blizzard fundraiser is one of Bloomington’s most exciting and unique theatrical events.  An ensemble of actors attempts to perform 30 plays in only 60 minutes in the random order the audience chooses.  Can they finish them all before the countdown timer hits zero? It’s short-attention span theatre at a hilarious, breakneck pace.

This year, the BPP’s talented group of playwrights wrote plays featuring or inspired by area businesses.  Tongue-in-cheek, but respectful, the Blizzard is original, unique, totally fun, and totally BPP.  

Actors who are cast will star/participate in most of the 30 plays.  This is not a traditional theatre or sketch comedy show.  There are no lead roles.  There is little done in terms of character development.  Actors will be asked to make bold choices that enhance the style of each piece.  The action is fast-paced and requires an improvisational and communal spirit that contributes to a unique ensemble experience… which is a fancy way of saying you may be asked to act as a door or a cabinet in one of the plays.  

“With a wonderful sense of ensemble and a no holds bar approach to audience participation, [The Blizzard] is pure fun.” ~ FunCityFinder.com

“[The Blizzard’s] ability to relentlessly entertain… is rather impressive… The Blizzard is fun and funny.” ~ Bloomington Herald-Times

The Blizzard is inspired by the Neo-Futurists’ Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind.
