What is a Bicycle Theatre Adventure?
Topical, quirky, and funny original productions where the audience travels from scene to scene on bikes. This “bicycle tour meets theater” event was originally developed by Olympia and Front Yard Theatre Collective in 2014. In September/October 2022, a revamped “History on Wheels” entertained an audience of 200+ patrons for 90 minutes, immersing them in a very irreverent version of pioneer Miami history while they traveled to four sites/scenes in Downtown Miami on bikes, rollerblades, and skateboards.
