We could not be more thrilled to announce our plans for our 2012
Season. We have many exciting things in store so without further ado,
here goes: World Premiere SWAN Day Pittsburgh 2012 March 15th and 16th The New Hazlett
Theater Buy Tickets Here Named Official International SWAN Day

Now) Day event will feature more than fifty local musicians, dancers, poets,
theatre artists, visual artists, performance artists and fashion
designers. The entire event will consist of world premiere works
inspired by interviews with women from all across Pennsylvania! World Premiere One Million Elephants Written and performed by Robert Isenberg Directed by Don DiGiulio April 20th and 21st The Grey Box Theater Fact: Laos is the most heavily
bombed country of all time. But who bombed them? And why? To answer these
questions, writer and actor Robert Isenberg journeyed to Southeast Asia, braving mountain roads, language
barriers, and the constant threat of government surveillance. One Million Elephants is the powerful story of
secret wars and personal redemption, set against the breathtaking landscape
of modern Laos. In the storytelling tradition of Spalding Gray and Mike Daisey, Isenberg relates his tale with good humor and
brutal honesty – and unveils a shocking chapter in American history. Pittsburgh Premiere Orange Flower Water by Craig Wright Directed by Steven Wilson June 29th to July 14th PITT Studio Theater Cathedral of Learning Orange Flower Water has been dubbed by the Chicago Sun-Times as “a brutally honest
drama about marriage and infidelity…it is at once fiercely adult, shrewdly
observant, often painfully graphic and most definitely not for the meek.” The
Pittsburgh premiere of this emotionally raw and complex work by Craig Wright (Mistakes Were Made, The
Pavilion) will be directed by The Hypocrites company member and A Red Orchid
Theater Artistic Associate Steven Wilson. Pittsburgh Premiere reasons to be pretty by Neil LaBute Directed by Marci Woodruff August 3rd – 18th PITT Studio Theater Cathedral of Learning A love story about the impossibility of love, reasons to be pretty is from the mind of Neil LaBute, one of the freshest and
most illuminating contemporary American playwrights working today. USA
Today states, “No contemporary writer has more astutely captured the
brutality in everyday conversation and behavior: That kind of insight
requires sensitivity and soul-searching.” This hopelessly romantic drama
about the hopelessness of romance will be directed by acclaimed Pittsburgh
stage veteran and recent Pittsburgh New Works Festival Lifetime Achievement
Award winner Marci Woodruff. |
