A look at audiences from the actors' points of view

Post Gazette: Two plays, two theaters, two tales of Pittsburgh audiences as seen from the stage.
Jeff Still starred as Mark Rothko and Jack Cutmore-Scott as his assistant Ken in the recently concluded Pittsburgh Public Theater production of "Red," a duel between a passionate, confrontational artist and his aspirational apprentice. The O'Reilly Theater's thrust stage was set as the gymnasium remade into a studio that could accommodate Rothko's murals. Luke Macfarlane goes it alone for City Theatre's "Sam Bendrix at the Bon Soir" in the intimate Hamburg Studio Theatre, which has been transformed into a cabaret setting.
