Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: As Tressa Glover traveled around Pennsylvania, interviewing dozens of women and asking them about their lives and their thoughts, she was searching for inspiration. The quest was not just for herself. Ms. Glover, the producing artistic director for the No Name Players theater company, filmed the conversations with women ranging in age from 20 to 70, then compiled them on a DVD and sent the recording to female choreographers, playwrights and many other artists in Pittsburgh. Her request: Use the women as muses to create original pieces of art. The result will be on display tonight and Friday night, when artists in genres ranging across music, dance, poetry, theater performance art and fashion come together in a two-hour show at the New Hazlett Theater on the North Side.
