Celebrating it's 29th season, Prime Stage Theatre presents an exciting lineup of upcoming productions and community events! Producing Artistic Director Wayne Brinda, and PR Director, Lawrence McCullough, talk about these events.

On September 27th, it's the annual Homewood Cemetery Walk! Larry highlights the seven historical figures that will be portrayed by professional actors. The figures include Michael Benedum, Irene Peacock, Henry Bigelow, Robert Pitcairn, among others. Seven Pittsburgh based actors each portray one figure, and bring their stories to life right at their graves.

Wayne also discusses, 'An Evening of Poe Pourri" on October 18th. A Prime Stage Theatre fundraising event, Wayne says to expect haunting tales of Edgar Alan Poe. It is a preview of their season of world premieres, including the first show in November. "Mr. Edgar A. Poe Presents: Tales of Mystery, Horror & Imagination" weaves together four classics from Poe, and is originally written by horror writer, Lawrence Connolly.

The rest of the season includes an original play about the Freedom House Ambulance service, and in May, it's the adaptation of Laurie Halse Anderson's novel, Speak.

You can see Prime Stage Theatre's annual Cemetery Walk on Saturday, September 27th from 12 pm to 4 pm.
