Point Park U. raises curtain on new Pittsburgh Playhouse: 'It showcases what we do'

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: As a child, Kevin Acklin, chief of staff for Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto, would sometimes sneak in the side door of the Pittsburgh Playhouse in Oakland to catch a glimpse of performances.

He recounted the first show he saw at the theater, “A Christmas Carol,” for a packed audience in the Lawrence Hall ballroom of Point Park University on Thursday morning. The group gathered as part of Point Park’s unveiling of designs and academic vision for the new Pittsburgh Playhouse in Downtown on Forbes Avenue between Smithfield and Wood streets.
