Happy Holidays

As 2012 comes to a close, The (B)IM Project wishes you 

a safe and happy holiday season!

2012 was a special year for our collective. With the support of a grant from The Theatre Communications Group, we ended 2011 with a workshop period for our new production. We started 2012 with a bang, winning The Ideaz Prize and securing valuable support and sponsorship from Dunkin Donuts, Classic Burger and Sustainable Environmental Solutions. We cast a stellar group of actors, managers and designers under the direction of Camille Brunel-Aoun and performed 10,453 km2 in June and July along the coast of Lebanon. If you missed our show, check out the links below:

10,453 km2 was featured on Al Jazeera's Earthrise TV program 

10,453 km2 received great press coverage from around the world, including features on EverydayTrash.com , Green Prophet,  ELLE Orientale , Al Akhbar News, & L'Hebdo.

As always, our work is not possible without the support of family, friends and fans- thank you to all who have helped us by volunteering, interning, donating, spreading the word and coming to our shows! If you would like to make a donation this holiday season, just click here :)

See you in 2013!
