Get a peek into the new play development process by joining us for a staged reading of our upcoming summer production, BURNBABYBURN: an american dream by award-winning playwright a.k. payne, directed by Karla C. Payne. This reading is the culmination of a one-week workshop preparing the play for its August 2026 world premiere! Featuring local and national actors, the reading brings to life a moving story rooted in Pittsburgh and created for Pittsburgh audiences. Be among the first to experience this exciting new work, then return later this summer to see it fully realized on stage.
