Bucharest Inside the Beltway is a Romanian and American arts and culture platform. In December 2013 BiB was born in Washington DC. BiB was officially launched at the Romanian Embassy to the United States June 2014 and then launched in Romania in Carol 53 October of 2014. Since then BiB has produced sold-out shows in the Capital Fringe Festival, DC Black Theatre Festival and the Source Theatre, hosted Romanian dancer Paul Cimpoieru at the Goethe Institute and has organized a spoken word poetry evening at Carol 53 in Bucharest, among many other cultural events in the USA. BiB launched in Denver, Colorado on December 10, 2021 with the international RADIANCE new play showcase, generated out of the competitive virtual playwrights residency led by award-winning Romanian-Filipina-American playwright Amanda L. Andrei (MFA USC), and looks forward to working with local artists and the Romanian community to once again "bring the fearlessness of Bucharest" to the United States of America.
