Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: "'Dream Big' is the theme for the Pittsburgh Public Theater's 2009-10 season.
The five plays producing artistic director Ted Pappas has already chosen for the company's 35th season include a big-cast Shakespeare comedy, a musical about a great American jazz singer, two comedies -- one by British playwright Alan Ayckbourn and another by a Pulitzer Prize-winning American playwright -- plus the appearance of Helena Ruoti in a classic American drama. A sixth play has yet to be chosen for the final slot."

It seems like the Pittsburgh Public Theater has big plans. I just saw "Metamorpheses" at the Pittsburgh Public and judging by the $30,000 swimming pool set, they are doing well. I am excited to see more of their shows and am happy to support them. How exciting!
As mentioned in the other article, they do seem to really be playing it safe. Solid shows they know they'll be able to make some money off of. Not that that's a bad tactic in this climate -- job security is more important to most of us right now than attempting to push the envelope. Metamorpheses was a fairly big gamble for the Public -- seems as though they made out well with it though -- when I want the house was packed. Too bad the show wasn't as engaging as it could have been -- but that might have no been the production and just the story as a whole I wasn't enthralled by.
