Evil has taken over Pittsburgh and there is only one person that can save it! Little does the trusty neighborhood Spidrman know, the problem is larger than he can handle alone! Spidrmanthemusical - Issue 4: How’d We Even Get Here? is an art performance that celebrates Pittsburgh, friendship, and the unrelenting need to create.  

Pittsburgh-based artists, Sam Berner and Chris Donadio began creating Spidrmanthemusical performances in 2011. The two were inspired to create a free, low-budget performance in juxtaposition to the expensive ticket, high-budget Broadway production with a similar name. Their performances utilize low-fi props and technology paired with humorous dialog that draws from comics, pop culture, and everyday life.  

For Issue 4, Sam and Chris are collaborating with VaultArt Studio, a progressive art studio that supports and promotes the inclusion of artists with disabilities in contemporary art. This one-night event will feature a presentation of Pittsburgh and superhero themed artwork by Kim Bond, Tafara Bundrige, Tarira Bundrige, Wendy Davis, Kahyll Holyfield, Darian Johnson, Heikeem Johnson, Maggie Kambic, Lee Kennedy, Cicely Murray, Steph Neary, Frank Principe, Charlie Scott, Edith Sullivan, Sean Regis Traynor, Charlie Wallace and feature a 25 minute action packed live performance that starts at 7:30pm. All artwork is available for purchase through VaultArt Studio.
