Pittsburgh Public Theater is wrapping up the season with a big splashy mid-Century modern stage classic, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf. Written by Edward Albee, it won Tony Award for Best Play in 1963 and was considered controversial in its day. Is it on par with the big period stage pieces? Not yet. I’ll explain. […]
Among the many losses I’ve experienced these past two years, my connection to local live theater has been a significant source of grief. Without a car, I must rely on others to transport me and hope it is a show they’d like to see as well. And I’ve lost my best theater companion. It is […]

I was quite young when I first met Bilbo Baggins, peaceful resident of Middle Earth and protagonist of ‘The Hobbit’ by J.R.R Tolkien..

The larger play is framed around an actual historical production of another play God of Vengeance. Our review will be posted early next week. Pittsburgh Public Theater is proud to present the Pittsburgh […]
How do you describe your identity? In a nutshell, I’d say I’m a brown queer genderfluid immigrant. My gender identity varies day by day. Style has been one of my most consistent modes of self-care because I can fully express myself through it, especially when I’m working in institutions where I’ve felt silenced.
The Pittsburgh Public is staging Kate Hammill’s adaptation of one of the most beloved works of fiction Pride and Prejudice. In a rather madcap take on the games of love, eight actors whirl across the stage tackling at least 14 roles, costume changes, set changes, and more. I enjoyed Pride & Prejudice, but I didn’t love […]
