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. BiB then produced sold-out shows in Washington DC in the Capital Fringe Festival, DC Black Theatre Festival and the Source Theatre, hosted Romanian dancer Paul Cimpoieru at the DC Goethe Institute and organized a spoken word poetry evening at Carol 53 in Bucharest, among many other cultural events. 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 continues to collaborate with local artists and the Romanian community to "bring the fearlessness of Bucharest" to the United States of America.
