Show will go on in December for Pict Classic Theatre

TribLIVE: Pict Classic Theatre's “Oliver Twist” will open Dec. 3 as planned.

The production and the company have been on hold since early September when Pict canceled its October production of “The Tempest” and laid off its entire staff because of a lack of money.

Why is Pict even still around? No one really wants them to stay, having been employed by them, there isnt really anything special about the company that distinguishes them. They are at the low end of entertainment in Pittsburgh, and it is a little sad that they are clinging onto their last show and next season with an admittedly “austere” budget. The history of the company over the last few years has been almost comical, when they changed their name from PICT to Pict, people eith didn’t notice at all, or thought it was funny. The fact that the article is titled Pict Classic Theatre is just funny, I understand that their name is no longer PICT but Pict, but the fact that it isnt an acronym now is a semantic difference. This article is now talking about the Pittsburgh Irish and Classic Theatre Classic Theatre. This even worse than saying the ATM machine.
