Stage preview: The play 'South Side Stories' recalls a community's ups and downs

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: From her home on the South Side Slopes, Tami Dixon was overcome by curiosity about the neighborhood that had been defined by steel for a century, until the industry disappeared and a new way of life was mandated. "I'm really interested in stories about survival, and I think the South Side is an incredible example of that," said the actress, an Ohioan who attended Carnegie Mellon University before seeking her fortunes in New York. She returned to Pittsburgh in 2005 with husband Jeffrey Carpenter, and together they run Bricolage Theater Company and reside on the Slopes.
