Roving Pittsburgher Report, TOO BIZET TO LOVE CARMEN? 

The Pittsburgh Opera's production changed my mind about Carmen. Here is a heroine full of fire and determination, played with dark fervor by Rinat Shaham. Not a hint of a cough in site. Not one asthmatic wheeze. She is a gypsy, used to the company of thieves. This is a character that lives right up to the moment she doesn't.

Roving Pittsburgher Report, How I Learned What I Learned; An Evening With August Wilson. 

The Pittsburgh premiere of How I Learned What I Learned introduces today's generation of theatergoers to 1960's Black America and pointedly offers Pittsburgher's an intimate moment with Wilson, listening to him tell the tales of growing up poor in an urban ghetto.  Yes, I claim to heave heard Wilson himself speak- his mannerisms; linguistic style and body language  channeled on stage through a great medium, actor Eugene Lee.
