About this Event
The Lee Strasberg Threatre & Film Institute and New York University's Tisch Undergraduate Drama Program presents the 2024 Clifford Odets Ensemble Play Commission:
The Pittsburgh Free Press
A New Play by Dan Giles
Directed by Jake Beckhard
When a junior reporter decides to pursue a story against her editor’s wishes, her actions have unforeseen consequences for the alt weekly where she works, and for the staff doing everything they can to keep it alive. The Pittsburgh Free Press explores the community that forms between people doing work they believe in — how it can give you the most meaningful years of your life, and how it can break your heart.
Featuring: Gail Belelty, Nick Bisa, Emma Duchesneau, Leah Hampson, Rosemari Marotta, Shaakirah Nazim-Harris, Cahal Perry, Marco Quesada, Maddie Schumacher, Olivia Sokale, Sophie Sternberg, and Matthew Wiseman
