Following a successful, sold-out run, Normal Ave Productions is thrilled to announce a two day extension of THE DREAM OF THE BURNING BOY, by David West Read.

Normal Ave Productions opens their 2018 season exploring the ageless question: how do different people deal with grief while finding the strength to move on? The company hopes their Winter mainstage production, The Dream of the Burning Boy, by David West Read, will allow the audience to begin a dialogue on coping with death and grief. Death itself is difficult to make sense of, but as Read writes so eloquently in scene 2, 'you can try to make sense of how people are feeling about it.'

Pittsburgh Opera concludes our 2017-18 season with Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore - The Elixir of Love, a fun romantic comedy about a traveling medicine show huckster who claims to possess a love potion.

Reviews have poured in extolling the clever juxtaposition of Anton Chekhov's prose with Cole Porter's music & lyrics in MR. CHEKHOV & MR. PORTER. The triumvirate of talent behind this marriage of masters is Janet Bentley as director; Andy Evan Cohen as musical director, and Madeline Jaye as choreographer.  

Prelude to the Apocalypse (For What It's Worth) engages with the climate crises in a number of unexpected ways: through the lens of evolutionary time, the biblical apocalypse, and the process of growing up as a person and a society. The play also examines the human tendency to make wishes, especially in moments when we feel powerless. It all takes place in the shadow of a giant hourglass. Nevertheless, the universe breathes on.

Mr. Chekhov and Mr. Porter at the Medicine Show Theatre takes its audience on a joyous romp through one of history's greatest playwrights by way of one of history's greatest songwriters.
