  • City Theatre Advances New Play Development in the Midst of the Covid-19 Pandemic
    CONTACT: Nikki Battestilli Marketing Director 412-431-4400 x230 [email protected] CityTheatreCompany.org FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CITY THEATRE ADVANCES NEW PLAY DEVELOPMENT IN THE MIDST OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC Pittsburgh, PA (October 25, 2020): City Theatre remains committed to its support of new play development and launched several new works initiatives this fall, finding innovative ways to support playwrights. City Theatre is excited to announce the creation of the Kemp Powers Commission Fund for Black Playwrights. The fund is made possible through the generous support of award-winning playwright Kemp Powers (author of last season's One Night in Miami..., which has just been adapted by Mr. Powers as a film distributed by Amazon Studios) and will offer an annual commission and developmental support to an early- career Black playwright. "Back in 2019, City Theatre welcomed me with open arms by producing one of my plays, hosting a staged reading of another play, and inviting me to Pittsburgh so that I could interact with some of the dynamic youth playwrights of the city,” said Mr. Powers. “As an artist, it is rare to receive that kind of institutional and community support, and it inspired me to want to pay it forward by offering support of my own to the next generation of storytellers." The first artist to receive the commission is playwright Ty Greenwood. Mr. Greenwood is a Pittsburgh native, Washington & Jefferson College alumni, and recent graduate of the Carnegie Mellon School of Drama's MFA in Dramatic Writing program. The commission will give him the flexibility to work on a new play of his choosing and includes built in developmental support as part of the process.

    About the Play By August Wilson SYNOPSIS As urban planning threatens the demise of a popular lunch counter in Pittsburgh’s close-knit Hill District, owner Memphis struggles with whether or not to sell, and at what cost. Wilson’s intimate portrait of a time of extraordinary challenge and change in our country is Weston’s 4th annual American Masters production. Directed by Reginald L. Douglas, Artistic Producer of City Theatre in Pittsburgh, this production will bring audiences into the middle of the action of this timely American masterpiece. From left to right: Bernard Gilbert, Beethovan Oden, Eboni Flowers, Cary Hite, Guiesseppe Jones, Raphael Peacock. Not pictured: Lawrence Evans. (Photo by Hubert Schriebl) ABOUT THE PLAYWRIGHT AUGUST WILSON (née: Frederick August Kittel, Jr.) was one of America’s most prolific twentieth-century playwrights. He was born in Pittsburgh in 1945 and grew up in the Hill District, where he would later set nine of his ten Century Cycle (or Pittsburgh Cycle) plays. The Century Cycle traced the daily experiences of African Americans, decade by decade, throughout the twentieth century. Wilson left school at sixteen after falsely being accused of plagiarism by a teacher. He focused on developing his writing while working various odd jobs, frequenting the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh so often that he later received an honorary high school diploma from the institution. At 20, he began writing poetry, often working in bars and diners to capture the voices of the people around him. His work was also influenced by Malcolm X, the Black Power movement of the 1960s, blues music, and writers August Wilson such as James Bob Child (Associated Press) Baldwin and Ed Bullins.

Most recently, the intersection of performance studies and memory studies has afforded theatre historians the opportunity to reevaluate the impact of performance on the collective memory of Shakespeare by acknowledging that the embodied performance of a text is no less important than its written words. This dissertation’s examination of three American Shakespeare companies -- Shakespeare & Company in Lenox, Massachusetts, the Three Rivers Shakespeare Festival in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and the American Shakespeare Center in Staunton, Virginia -- explores the shifting sands of this intersection.
