Playwright's cross-country bus trip inspired 'Mercy & the Firefly'

Post Gazette: "The road to 'Mercy & the Firefly' went from Homestead to East Los Angeles. It started with Amy Hartman boarding a bus as part of the Bricolage Urban Scrawl and picked up steam when the playwright visited the West Coast for work. The play also survived a major pothole -- a computer crash that ate a year's worth of work.
