  • 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.

"SING ME A SAD SONG AND MAKE ME FEEL BETTER": EXPLORING REWARDS RELATED TO LIKING FAMILIAR SAD MUSIC John D. Hogue 79 Pages Hogue (2013) tested some of Levinson's (1997) theoretical ideas about why people like listening to songs that make them sad. Particularly, Hogue tested Levinson's ideas of communion, mediation, savoring feeling, and how absorption interacted with the songs to affect communion and the emotion. Hogue, however, did not use musical stimuli that were familiar to the participants, which is a precursor to Levinson's (1997) theory. This thesis retested Levinson's theory comparing familiar songs against unfamiliar songs and songs from another participant. Data were collected from 82 participants. Each participant provided songs that induced happiness and songs that induced sadness.

    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.

  • The Greening of Paradise Valley
    The Greening of Paradise Valley The first 100 years (1887-1987) of the Modesto Irrigation District By Dwight H. Barnes Commissioned by the Modesto Irrigation District In recognition of its centennial year Dedication In the span of recorded history, the story of the San Joaquin Valley and that portion of it served by the Modesto Irrigation District is quite brief. The impact of a region upon a nation, however, cannot be measured by time alone. Settled by adventurous, innovative, courageous people who had the vision and determination to change a huge valley which was desert waste in the summer and whose flood-swollen rivers ran 10 miles wide in the spring, the San Joaquin Valley today is the nation’s most productive agricultural region. This was the home of people such as Irwin S. Wright, who in 1868 invented jerk-line control of long pulling teams; of Benjamin Holt, inventor of the Caterpillar tractor who subsequently made possible the first army tanks; of George Stockton Berry, who, starting with a discarded portable steam engine, built the first mechanically-driven combine to harvest, thresh and sack wheat in a single operation, and of political and military leaders such as John C. Fremont, the first presidential nominee of the Republican Party, and famed General William Tecumseh Sherman. It was in this region that the farm cooperative received its greatest stimulus, resulting in the development of the world’s largest cooperatives such as the Milk Producers Association of California and Tri/Valley Growers, both of which were founded in Modesto. More than a century ago, enterprising leaders of this caliber envisioned the rich potential of the region’s agriculture; needed was a practical means of bringing water to the land throughout the summer months.
