FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE



PITT and PICT announce theatrical initiative



Collaboration brings new plays to Pittsburgh



Pittsburgh, PA -- November 13, 2009. A new theatrical collaboration will soon be bringing new plays to light in Pittsburgh. “New Classics,” a co-venture of the University of Pittsburgh’s Department of Theatre Arts and Pittsburgh Irish and Classical Theatre (PICT), will present readings of new plays throughout 2009-2010.



The reading series will be free and open to the public, and will be followed by a talk-back moderated by F.J. Hartland, Director of Marketing and Communication for the University of Pittsburgh Department of Theatre Arts, and Melissa Hill Grande, Marketing Director and Artistic Associate for PICT.



Persons who are unable to attend the reading in person will be able to view it online via LIPLO™ (Live and in Person, Live and Online), a new internet technology pioneered by PICT Operations Director Stephanie Riso and Alex Geis. Geis of 21 Productions and videographer Randy Griffith of RLG Creations will live-broadcast the readings, and viewers will be able to respond via live chat as they watch the performances on the LIPLO™ website, www.liplo.com.



According to Dr. Bruce McConachie, Chair of the Department of Theatre Arts, “We are looking forward to this collaboration with PICT and the opportunities it will offer our students.”



Operations Director Stephanie Riso echoes the sentiment, states “PICT is pleased to be able to open up new ways to engage Pitt students with the greater theatre community through this new initiative,” and hopes it will strengthen Pittsburgh’s place on the map for building bridges and new pathways to experience live work.



Utilizing the talents of directors and actors from both organizations, “New Classics” launches on Nov. 22 with Carapace by David Robinson of Athens, Ohio. The play will be directed by Melissa Hill Grande and presented at 7 p.m. in the Henry Heymann Theatre at the Stephen Foster Memorial on the University of Pittsburgh campus.



Carapace explores the complicated relationship between Jeff, an alcoholic sportscaster, and his grown daughter Margo. Jeff attempts make amends with Margo on her twenty-third birthday by bringing her a very special gift.



Robinson is a current MFA Playwrighting candidate at Ohio University. A native Minnesotan, he received his BA in Literature/Theater from the New College of Florida. In addition to Carapace, Robinson has spent his first two years at Ohio University developing Terminal Condition, Gestalt and Family Matters, which was selected as a semifinalist for this year's WordBRIDGE Playwrights Laboratory. Outside of the realm of dramatic writing, David has written theater and film criticism for The Bradenton Herald and the film journal CineACTION. He is also the recipient of Ohio University's 2009 Scott McPherson Playwriting Award.



“New Classics” continues on Sunday, January 24, 2010 with The Small of Her Back by Dana Lynn Formby, directed by Martin Giles.



In The Small of Her Back, Danielle Fitzman believes the glass ceiling has been shattered allowing her to climb her way up the corporate ladder of the NP Power Company. When an opportunity opens on the board, Danielle must battle tit for tat—learning tit works more than tat. She finds defining the difference between sexual harassment and harmless flirting akin to drawing a line in sand during a windstorm.



Formby is a Chicago resident and a member of Chicago Dramatists.



A third reading is planned for Sunday, March 28th at 7 p.m.



The series is free of charge and open to the public.

FEMALE ENTRPRENEURS FACE FEW CONTRACTS, LITTLE FUNDING,

FEMALE ENTRPRENEURS FACE FEW CONTRACTS, LITTLE FUNDING,

HIGHER HEALTHCARE



Giving Advocates Much to Discuss





Pittsburgh, Pa. (September 25, 2009) – Wendy Lopez, Rebecca Harris, Ana Harvy, Jayne Huston and by Bill Flanagan spoke on a Women Business Owners Advocacy panel at the 3rd Annual NAWBO Day Friday, October 2, at the Greentree Radisson Hotel, at 10 AM.



There are 10.1 billion women owned businesses in the US, about 40% of all businesses in the country. At least 5% of federal contract spending is to be awarded to certified women owned firms. Yet over the past 10 years, this mandate has not been reached. In 2008 alone, it was missed by over 12 billion dollars, according to the US Women’s Chamber of Commerce. In addition, only 2.3% of money from institutional investors went to women owned businesses. Not only are women owned firms being awarded fewer government contracts and having less access to capital than male owned firms, female entrepreneurs are also being hit harder with high healthcare costs.



"Women start small businesses at twice the rate as men and usually have less capital, so these health insurance costs have a more severe impact on female entrepreneurs." said Deborah L. Frett, CEO of Business and Professional Women's Foundation.



“Congress can't ignore the 10.1 million female entrepreneurs,” says Kelly Scanlon, chair-elect of the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO).



The associations and programs represented by NAWBO Day’s Advocacy Panel continue to address these issues on the local, regional and national levels. These panelists have made it their duty to educate, defend and protect female entrepreneurs. Their organizations, along with NAWBO, have been responsible for making advancement possible. They have affected such change as the acknowledgement of women as business owners, the release of statistics on women owned businesses, secured loans for female owned businesses, and the formation of specialized training to educate women on starting and growing their businesses.



The advocacy panel consists of women who are themselves business owners and program directors, having had first hand experience with the obstacles that face female entrepreneurs. These four women are joined by Bill Flanagan, who has made it his responsibility to join in the press for change for women owned businesses.



In addition to the advocacy panel discussion, NAWBO Day includes speakers, workshops, and a trade show, designed to inform business owners. Whether just starting or seeking growth, struggling or soaring, a large corporation or a consultant in any industry, this event is suited to equip Entrepreneurs.



NAWBO continues to provide support to and advocacy for women entrepreneurs. The Pittsburgh chapter is the 5th oldest in the nation and the only chapter that has a City Council and Mayor designated NAWBO Day.

Pittsburgh International Children's Festival Presents Harold and the Purple Crayon

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


Media Contact: Diana Roth, (412) 471-8717; roth@pgharts.org
Pittsburgh International Children’s Theater presents

The Enchantment Theatre Company in

The Adventures of

Harold and the Purple Crayon

November 8-14, 2009


Six performance locations:

City: Byham Theater; Butler: Marshall Middle School; East: Gateway High School;

North: Pine-Richland High School; West (Sewickley/Leetsdale): Quaker Valley High School;

South: Keystone Oaks High School

(Pittsburgh, PA) Pittsburgh International Children’s Theater, a division of The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, proudly presents a musical adaptation of Harold and the Purple Crayon by The Enchantment Theatre Company (USA) from Sunday, November 8 through Saturday, November 14, 2009 at six locations in the greater Pittsburgh area. Citizens Bank is the proud season sponsor of Pittsburgh International Children’s Theater.
In this delightful production based on the well-known book series by Crockett Johnson, Harold journeys through the world that he creates with nothing but his big, purple crayon and his imagination. The possibilities are endless as Harold joins a circus and jets to mars in less than an hour! Enchantment Theatre Company combines life-size puppets, masks, music and magic to make Harold and the Purple Crayon come alive before audiences who are adventurous and young at heart. "The artful adaptation of a well-known story made it engaging for all to see – parents and kids alike,” says Patrick Donnelly of the Roselle Center for the Arts University of Delaware. Production staff for the performance includes musical score by Charles Gilbert, story adaptation and illusions by Jennifer and Landis Smith, Jonathan Becker (Mask Designer), Dirk Durosette (Set Designer), David O’Connor (Lighting Design), Brian Strachan (Costumer Designer), Stephen Bombkoski (Technical Director), John Benson, Bill Gastrock, Chris Garvin (System Design), and Robbie Molinari (Animation Director).

Following the performance, the cast will respond to the audience’s questions and comments in a unique “Talk Back” session.

MASKS, PUPPETS, MAGIC, VIDEO ANIMATION

Using all the elements of its signature style, Enchantment’s life-size puppets, masked actors, magic, and music will delight and amaze audiences. But this time it will add a new dimension with the use of large-scale video animation to create Harold’s world of make-believe. Enchantment’s Harold and the Purple Crayon opens with a magic trick that transforms an ordinary actor into the delightful main character, Harold, in order to establish early that the audience should expect the unexpected. Enchantment Theatre’s actors will wear masks to portray some of the characters in this production of Harold and the Purple Crayon. Though masks are rare in American contemporary theater, masks have been used since the very beginning of theater and in different ways by various cultures. The mask universally facilitates a transformation of the actor and the audience. Similar to masks, puppets also have a long and esteemed history in theatre. Enchantment Theatre Company uses puppets so they are not limited by the size and shape of an actor. Puppets are similar to the mask in their fascination and power. Used with art and skill, masks and puppets can free the actor and the audience from what may otherwise seem ordinary and mundane.

The Enchantment Theatre Company was founded in 1979 by Jennifer and Landis Smith and has toured its original productions worldwide. In 1985, its premiere production, The Symphony and the Sorcerer, opened with accompaniment by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. This event was to be the first of many symphonic programs produced by The Enchantment Theatre Company. They have since appeared with the Philadelphia, Atlanta, Baltimore, Houston, Minnesota, Cleveland and Seattle Symphony Orchestras. Enchantment Theatre’s arts education program, The Magic of Masks, offers school day performances and encourages field trips with reduced ticket prices and in-school artist-in-residency programs. The company’s own Camp Enchantment, launched in 2007, has also been successful in reintroducing children to the arts, yielding an entirely original, youth-driven production titled The Boy Who Made Peace in the camp’s first season alone. The Company’s artistic directors say their mission is “to engage the imagination and spirit of the audience until a transformation occurs and the true grace of our mutual humanity is revealed – not one time but every time that we perform.”


Performance locations for Harold and the Purple Crayon include City: Byham Theater: Sunday, November 8 at 2:00 p.m. and a student performance on Monday, November 9 at 10:15 a.m.; Butler: Marshall Middle School, Tuesday, November 10, 7:00 p.m.; East: Gateway High School: Wednesday, November 11 at 7:00 p.m.; North: Pine-Richland High School: Thursday, November 12 at 5:30 & 7:30 p.m.; West (Sewiskley/Leetsdale): Quaker Valley High School: Friday, November 13 at 7:00 p.m.; South: Keystone Oaks High School: Saturday, November 14 at 11:00 a.m. & 2:00 p.m.
