Stage preview: PICT journeys toward the future with 'Shirley Valentine'

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Alan Stanford is happy to report that PICT Classic Theatre is in the midst of a rebirth.

“I never want to live through another season like the last one,” he said of 2015, when a shortfall forced the cancellation of two shows and the company lost its longtime Oakland home.

That was then. Today, as the former Pittsburgh Irish and Classical Theatre enters its 21st season, the company is operating with five full-time staff members, a slate of five plays and a new home, the Union Project in Highland Park. Besides a continued commitment to classical works, a new bar has been set for developing education and community outreach.
