“PICT is an internationally recognized theatre whose mission is to produce innovative interpretations of dramatic literature in the classic and Irish traditions.”
“PICT Classic Theatre creates a culture of enlightened entertainment by focusing on the three essential elements of theatre: Authors, Actors and Audience.”
“PICT Classic Theatre was founded as Pittsburgh Irish and Classical Theatre, Inc., in 1996 by Stephanie Riso and Andrew S. Paul. It was founded in reaction to the closing of the Three Rivers Shakespeare Festival and in order to provide a venue for local artists to perform classical works, a mission that has stayed constant throughout the years. Our first show, The Constant Couple, was performed in May1997 in the Antonian Theater on the campus of Carlow Uniersity. After earning excellent reviews for that production, PICT went on to have a successful 1998 season, and the company grew exponentially. PICT Classic Theatre is now one of the largest professional theatre companies in the greater Pittsburgh region. As of June 30, 2015, PICT has produced 91 main stage shows, including six world premieres, eight U.S. premieres, forty Pittsburgh premieres and four festivals.”
