Post Gazette: A world premiere by Samm-Art Williams is a notable event. Mr. Williams has himself been notable since his heart-filling "Home" won a 1981 Tony nomination and later enriched the stage at the Pittsburgh Public Theater. He's been busy writing for TV, but now he has chosen the August Wilson Center to stage the premiere of "Last of the Line," a comedy with resonance. That's because, although some of the recent ranting may make us forget, we Pittsburghers -- let alone we Americans -- are all immigrants, one way or another, and heritage is important to us.
