We’ve added three new theater companies and eight new productions. New to us, not new to the community. Tis the season – live theater ramps up options for the fall months of 2026. I enjoy this post because it gives me a chance to put certain show on my own calendar. That’s truth. It also […]
It has been a week. There’s always this one week in theater seasons when multiple shows open and other types of shows also happen and it is just soooo much. This past October, I caught pink eye so that took me out of contention. This past week was the spring version – three plays, one […]
Preview Back in the late 90s and early Aughts, I would buy LGBTQ movies on VHS from Ebay. Lifetime movies mostly. They are probably in a box in the attic. Think Stockard Channing, Natasha Lyonne, even Brooke Shields as a lesbian mom When I took a closer look, I saw they were mostly screeners that […]
What’s better than a Sunday matinee on a crisp autumn weekend? Don’t laugh. I’m excited the season begins soon. Even writing ‘the season’ feels so festive. The previous season has been a powerhouse – Witch at Carnegie Stage, Miss Julie via PICT, POTUS at City Theatre, 12 Angry Men at New Hazlett, Christmas at Pemberley […]
For the summer arts and culture season, we’ve revived ‘Seven With Sue’ – a sort of quick Q&A with seven questions (and a plus one!) To kick off this new-ish series, we are talking this week with creators involved with Madame Clicquot opening on Thursday. Pittsburgh CLO is proud to present this exclusive world premiere […]

Others may remember the storyline in the television show The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel where character actor Sophie Lenon decides to stage an ultimately disastrous version. The latter is how I first encountered […]
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 […]
Theater season is here. I did my best to round up the ’24’ part of the 24/25 season. I grew up without any theater as did most working class Gen X kids. It breaks my heart how many of my friends have never been to a play. Musicals can be great, but anyone who enjoys […]
Under the category of ‘better late than never’ – I’m finally writing about my experience watching Quantum Theatre production of Chimerica. It was my first Quantum Theater production. I don’t know why that is the case. But it felt fitting that Chimerica was my first show and my first live theater performance since the the […]
