Say No To Buncher Company's Plans For Private Drives Along Allegheny River

It's bad enough we've waited this long for the possibility of decent river access in the Strip and Lawrenceville, now we have this...

Check out the Pittsburgh Post Gazette's article on the possibility of restricted river access and private drives via the Buncher Company along the Allegheny River in the Strip District.

And the URA rears it's head...

In a statement, the URA defended the Buncher plan, noting that its Riverfront Landing development would provide far more access to the river than now is available in the Strip District. That's true, but cordoning off any portions of the new neighborhood is unacceptable, especially considering the tax incentives that are being proposed to assist the developers.

Seven Guitars by August Wilson

Directed by Mark Clayton Southers

Seven Guitars focuses on the 1948 funeral of one of the seven main characters, showing events leading to the funeral in flashbacks. True to its mission to present all ten plays in Pulitzer Prize winner Wilson’s “Pittsburgh Cycle,” PPTCO offers its sixth play in the series—a brilliantly constructed examination of the African-American male's fight for his own humanity in the face of personal and societal ills. Last season's production of August Wilson's Two Trains Running at PPTCO was ranked #3 in Post-Gazette theater critic Christopher Rawson's “Best Theatre Evenings of 2008”.
