Ring in National Bike Month with the second annual Bicycle Shorts Film Festival at Yellow Bicycle Theater.

Join in the talkbacks, vote for the Audience Choice Award, then saddle up and help us celebrate National Ride a Bike Day and Cinco de Mayo. We’ll be cycling 7 scenic miles at a leisurely pace past the Rocky Steps and up the Schulykill River Trail to Taqueria Amor in Manayunk. You won’t want to miss it!

Ashes Ashes at Yellow Bicycle Theatre gives audiences a closer look at Enola Gay pilots in a tale that spans decades
By Brenda Hillegas
“Yellow Bicycle Theater is a fantastic new black box theatre and art house cinema just behind Love Park… The theatre’s intimate setting is perfect for the portrayal of real-life Enola Gay pilots Paul Tibbets (played by James C. Gavin) and Robert Lewis (Crone). You’ll find yourself down a rabbit hole of information, what ifs, and a close look at what could have been going on inside of their heads…and so many others at that time… Crone’s story grip’s viewers as we witness the pilots’ encounters with two young women who turn out to be a big part of their history – the Hiroshima survivor turned prostitute Miko (Mayo Kinoshita) and Japanese-American journalist Asuna (Kassidy Kimata)… This is a not-to-be-missed Fringe Festival pick. With only four performances left, you need to make a plan to see it this weekend or next Thursday.” [Full Review]
