Midnight Radio-Wizard of Oz-Bricolage Theater-March
28-April 14, 2019
Midnight Radio recreates The Wizard of Oz in a 1940 radio show broadcast
format complete with commercials and sound effects. You are part of the studio
audience with a behind the scene view of the inventive ways in which objects and voices
are used to create a mental image of the story. It’s a window into the age of
story telling radio of the 1940’s.
There also is a free happy hour 30 minute before every show with pre-show activities.

In Lucas Hnath's 2017 play, A Doll House Part 2, Nora returns knocking on the door 15 years later. She asks her husband for a divorce and confronts her daughter and nanny. It’s period comedy about a timeless subject- marriage. I can’t wait to see if, living on her own, Nora made any steps towards reaching self-actualization (or her personal best).

A Doll’s House Part 2- Pittsburgh Public Theater- March 7, 2019 to April 7, 2019-O’Reilly Theater
A Doll's House Part 2 is an imagined sequel to the classic 1879 play A Doll's House, written by Henrick Isben. Isben ended his play with Nora, slamming the door as she left her overbearing husband and three children. This was a gutsy and groundbreaking move for a character in the 1800’s.

La boheme-Pittsburgh Opera -March 30th,
April 2, 5 and 7, 2019 – Benedum Theater
Puccini’s 1896 Italian
opera La boheme follows the lives of four impoverished artists (bohemians) living in
Paris in the 1840’s. It’s a story of love, friendship and passion for art and
life. It was the inspiration for one of my favorite hit Broadway musicals-RENT. I can’t wait to hear some of opera’s most famous
arias surrounding the sparks of love between seamstress, Mimi and writer, Rodolfo
and the others in this classic opera.

April 2, 5 and 7, 2019 at the Benedum Theater. For tickets go to pittsburghopera.org.)
Berlioz’s Damnation Of Faust-Pittsburgh Symphony Heinz Hall-March 8 and 10, 2019
Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra brings the larger-than-life production of Damnation of Faust, described by Berlioz as a “dramatic legend,” to the stage. Manfred Honceck will conduct 4 opera soloist, 170 choir members and the 98 piece Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. This dramatic symphony involves protagonist Faust (tenor, Charles Castronovo) who falls in love with Marguerite (mezzo soprano, Tara Erraught) and is tricked into selling his soul to the devil (Baritone, Luca Pisaroni) in order to save his love interest. This performance should be a spectacular display of good and evil, and temptation and redemption through music, opera and choir.
