REALTIME INTERVENTIONS, Pittsburgh's community-fueled, performance-based arts company, presents the world premiere of People of Pittsburgh: The Alchemist of Sharpsburg at City Theatre's Hamburg Studio on April 7-17, 2022. The show is a live, interactive exploration of the life of Candra: a Hindu-practicing, black-metal-listening game enthusiast with multigenerational roots in Sharpsburg, PA. This first installment of People of Pittsburgh is written and game-mastered by RealTime Co-Artistic Director, Rusty Thelin, who is teaming up with ceramicist, mixed-media sculptor, and fellow gamer Emmannuelle "Manu" Wambach, along with performer Lydia Gibson, come together to tell this extraordinary Sharpsburger's story.
Since Rusty, Manu, and Candra are all life-long gamers, they're blending elements of theater and game design to create an original experience in which the audience will unlock the secrets of Candra's life by playing an original game together. Although audience members can opt out of participating directly and instead take the role of observers, some brave spect-actors will portray characters from Candra's life; maps will be consulted, dice will be rolled, and by the end of the show everyone - participants and observers alike - will have leveled up. Tickets can be purchased at www.realtimeinterventions.org!
Ages: 12 years and up
