Region sets scene for local playwrights
TribLIVE: If you want to make a Pittsburgh-based playwright happy, give him or her some space — on a local theater schedule.
“I don't think there are a lot of opportunities for playwrights here,” says playwright and actress Tami Dixon, producing artistic director at Bricolage Production Company.
Playwright Mark Southers agrees.

I think and agree with the idea that readings and workshops are not what are need but instead the fully produced shows are what are important. Theater can be very temperamental and words can very with the circumstances around them. A speech can have two very different effects when a person is saying them versus the character. I really would love to see more new works fully produced and I am really glad that Pittsburgh is giving playwrights an opportunity to do so.
