September: Best of Culture in Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh Magazine - September 2017 - Pittsburgh, PA: Through Sept. 10/ Quantum Theatre begins its 2017-2018 season with the world premiere of “Red Hills” by Sean Christopher Lewis. Main character David first visited Rwanda as a 16-year-old on a missionary trip with his church, when he inadvertently becomes witnesses to the genocide. David later recounts his experience in a book, “Letters from the Red Hills,” and 20 years later he receives a copy accompanied by a note, “There are untruths here.” David must travel back to Rwanda to confront his past — and the truth, whatever it may be. The production is directed by Katie Pearl and developed in collaboration with En Garde Arts in New York City, where it will travel after its Pittsburgh run.

I think Pittsburgh Magazine does a great job curating a lot of the local happenings month by month. I really do hope I get a chance to go see “Red Hills”. One of my past colleagues was the production manager on the show and it looks incredible. It’s also encouraging to see that the play has a future beyond Pittsburgh in New York. While I enjoy the play, I don’t know if I would’ve guessed that the Pittsburgh Public Theatre would choose to include “Equus” in their season. Perhaps, it was a final wish from Ted Pappas before he leaves. I’ll be interested to see who is appointed as his replacement. The Pittsburgh Public Theatre typically produces a similar season of some newer plays, a classic musical, and a few revivals of plays. Will the new Artistic Director shape a new vision or maintain the long-standing work that Ted Pappas has laid down?
