Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Eric Starkey has something up his sleeve.
Well, of course he does. He's a magician, for God's sake!
But he's also an actor. And he's putting together a show called "Superheroes & Card Tricks" that makes its Pittsburgh premiere tonight at Bricolage, "the adventurous theater" on Liberty Avenue, Downtown.

I'm not particularly interested in talking about this show, but I do want to talk about something else. Lately, I've been noticing a pattern among theatre programs in Pittsburgh. Many of the actors who graduate from them stay in Pittsburgh. Except the ones from CMU. I was thinking about why this might be. I've never attended another theatre program in this area, but I know for myself and many others at CMU it feels as though all directions say Pittsburgh is not the place you should stay to achieve your goals. Maybe other schools don't share this philosophy. And I'm actually pretty grateful, because I don't think people should just stay in the city they went to college in. Regardless of whether of not you would be able to achieve your goals here, I think it's one of the most important things a young adult can do to let go of their college life and start their career somewhere entirely new.
