‘When Jesus Divorced Me’ Will Most Likely Be Off the WALL Productions Final Show in Pittsburgh
onStage Pittsburgh: Performing arts companies are struggling to deal with declining audience attendance and subscription sales. Strategies have included reducing the number of season offerings, producing “simpler” shows, and re-thinking venues all while attempting to balance revenue and expenses.

It is very unfortunate that smaller theater companies such as Off the Wall Productions are having to relocate to try and find success. It seems as though the Pittsburgh theater scene has not been the same since COVID, as this article suggests. My friend in class did a report on Off the Wall and their practices, and it intrigued me about their company and I was hoping to see their shows in the near future. #UGLYCRY seemed incredibly interesting and I am trying to see if I have the ability to see it before it closes this weekend. It is upsetting that Off the Wall feels that it has to take its theater somewhere else in order to be seen, but I hope this move works out for the best for them. I am from New York and while I have not been in Pittsburgh long, I do know that New York theater patrons are more likely to try out smaller, new, and experimental shows like this company creates. I have they find great success in their new home, but hate to see them go.
