Pitt Stages is bringing this professor’s play to life for the first time

Pitt Stages is kicking off its spring season with “Morning Reckoning,” a play that harkens back to the 1990s, a golden era of boy bands and teen girl fandom — and formative years for playwright Kelly Trumbull.

Trumbull is a teaching assistant professor in the Department of Theatre Arts within Pitt’s Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences. Though she has directing experience, she’s taken a hands-off approach to her show’s Pitt debut. It’s the first time “Morning Reckoning” has been performed in its entirety.

Join Pitt in Celebrating Douglass Day!

Black history? A bake off? What could be better!? Join the English Department at the Dietrich School for Douglass Day at the University of Pittsburgh on Friday, February 14 from 12-3 PM in the Robert Henderson Language Media Center (Cathedral of Learning G17). Douglass Day celebrates Frederick Douglass’s chosen birthday (Valentine’s Day) and represents an opportunity to discover and contribute to Black history by transcribing historical documents.

Quantum Theatre Collaborates with the Department of History for New Exhibit

Appropriately enough, “The Return of Benjamin Lay,” a one-man show that debuted on a London stage in June 2023, will soon deliver Lay’s unique spirit and humanistic vision to the state where he first shared it. The Quantum Theatre production will run Jan. 31 through Feb. 23, at Braddock Carnegie Library, 419 Library Road, in Braddock.
