World Premiere of 'Savior Samuel' at Pittsburgh Playwrights is 'fearless,' 'extravagant'

Pittsburgh Current: This has nothing to do with anything, but I recently noticed that Pittsburgh’s theater offerings have undergone a quiet, but welcome shift.

Though it breaks my heart to say it, theater in general tends toward entertaining an upper-income, predominantly white crowd. That makes me sad for a number of reasons, not the least is that I believe theater can be the most immediate of art forms and has a capacity to speak directly to an audience in a way which is unique – so it can be disheartening that so much theater ends up being about suburban infidelity.
