Theater Preview: For 'Glass Menagerie,' PPT brings back Berlin to direct and Wintersteller to star

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Pittsburgh Public Theater will open its 40th season with "The Glass Menagerie" to honor the past -- it was the first play produced by the company, on Sept. 17, 1975 -- and to stay true to the company's present.

"The great American play, whether it be Eugene O'Neill or Arthur Miller or Clifford Odets or Lillian Hellman or Kaufman and Hart -- my first play here as artistic director was 'You Can't Take It With You' -- is central to who we are as a company. So we are doing 'The Glass Menagerie,' " said Ted Pappas, the Public's producing artistic director.

I am so happy that Pam Berlin is back directing at the Pittsburgh Public Theater! She is one of my favorite directors that I have ever seen work on the Public stage. She has a very calm and beautiful way of storytelling that will fit perfectly with the "Glass Menagerie". When Peter announced last year that she was directing the "Three Sisters" here I was beyond exited. Her year of experience and unique storytelling point of view will provide the students her at Carnegie Mellon with an amazing opportunity. I cannot wait to see her work on stage this Sunday!
