Dear Fans of Pittsburgh Playwrights Theatre:
I hope you saw the recent Sunday Post-Gazette where Two Trains Running, by August Wilson, and directed by our own Mark Clayton Southers, was named one of the top ten plays of the DECADE by Chris Rawson. That’s right, one of the top ten plays from the past ten years of theatre in Pittsburgh. And, it was the only August Wilson production in Pittsburgh to win such recognition. Wow! What an honor. Thanks!
Thank you to all of you who have supported Pittsburgh Playwrights Theatre Co. in the past and helped make this great moment possible. We all know PPTCO produces great theatre inexpensively. In fact, I would bet out of all of the top ten plays, we had the smallest production budget. This challenge to produce great works with few dollars isn’t by choice! PPTCO is awarded grants from foundations and the state, but we still need our friends’ support to pay our actors and run our stage.
Let’s reward Mark for his hard work by making a donation today to Pittsburgh Playwrights Theatre. You will give Mark the kudos he deserves, and you will boost his budget for our next August Wilson play, Jitney, which he will direct at the end of our season this spring.
