Organic Theater Pittsburgh presents Lucy Thurber's SCARCITY. Originally produced at The Atlantic Theater Company in 2007, SCARCITY is '...a disturbing yet compelling picture of contemporary American life in the lower depths...' - Curtain Up. In the vein of television shows like Roseanne and Showtime's Shameless, SCARCITY 'has strong, messy, vibrant characters...[whose] motivations remain pleasurably inscrutable.' - The New York Sun. With 'an honesty that is pungently compelling' [American Theatre Web], SCARCITY asks its audience, 'How far are you willing to go to survive?'
Actors, writers and directors know that to succeed in theater, it is necessary to master the art of survival. Tonight, August 7, and August 8 and 10, the 24 Hour Company in partnership with The New School for Drama will explore artistic survival in its many forms, with two panel discussions, as well as the undertaking of one of theater's greatest challenges, The 24 Hour Plays.
