  • At a Glance: 2018-2019
    AT A GLANCE: 2018-2019 PICT Classic Theatre’s mission is to produce innovative interpretations of dramatic literature in the classic and Irish traditions. PICT will fulfill this mission by exploring current social issues through the lens of classic and timeless stories. Incorporated in 1997 and now in its 22nd season, PICT Classic Theatre (formerly Pittsburgh Irish & Classical Theatre) is a professional theatre company that has garnered national and international acclaim through its commitment to producing theatre of substance and artistic merit. PICT produces the works of local playwrights (Martin Giles, Lissa Brennan, & Ray Werner), other original works (Simon Bradbury), and several play adaptations by our Artistic & Executive Director, Alan Stanford. These works include four recent World Premieres. PICT performs at WQED in Oakland, attracting 7,000 audience members per season, with an annual operating budget of approximately $800,000. PICT is a lean and entrepreneurial company with a fiercely devoted following of over 500 multi-show subscribers. PICT is one of few Pittsburgh theatres to be funded by the national Shubert Foundation. PICT has received substantial project grants from the National Endowment for the Arts. PICT’s production of Antony & Cleopatra received a National Endowment for the Arts Shakespeare for a New Generation education grant, one of only four such grants awarded in Pennsylvania and the only one in Southwestern PA. In 2018, PICT was one of 38 Pittsburgh area organizations to receive support from Bloomberg Philanthropies, through their Arts Innovation and Management Program. Recent Accolades: Dagda Award presented to Martin Giles in October 2017 for his breadth of work with PICT including more than 50 directorial and performance roles; Top 10 Plays of 2017: Sive, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette; James FitzGerald as the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Performer of 2015, with PG noting two PICT performances, Fagin in Oliver Twist and Dinzie Conlee in Sharon's Grave.
