“The Burdens” at City Theatre
The Pittsburgh Tatler: Words, such tricky things! So vital to our survival as social creatures, yet so easily mis-fired or mis-taken, particularly when they are zinging back and forth between two phones, subjected to the evils of autocorrect and deprived of the saving grace of vocal inflection.

I’ve been excited about this production and City Theatre in general recently primarily because I was hired as the light board operator for closing weekend and am looking forward to getting involved with theater in Pittsburgh outside of Carnegie Mellon, even in this small way. I got to tour the facility last week and the scenic design and incorporated lighting elements piqued my interest, but aside from that I had no impression of the show itself. That being said, Wendy’s assessment along with the production photos have raised my curiosity and excitement even more. I think the thoughts about communication that the text explores are very relevant to my generation particularly but to others as well. I am very interested in the premise of the play as well as the interaction between the text, staging, and design choices involved and am excited to watch it unfold from behind the scenes.
