RealTime Arts presents

Welcome to Pittsburgh’s debut of EQUITABLE DINNERS*: events featuring a play, a meal, and a conversation in private homes across the city. Our topic for July 2026:

“We Hold These Truths”:

AMERICAN POTLUCK

In honor of our country’s 250th anniversary, July’s Equitable Dinners will focus on food, health, and American identity.

These intimate gatherings will take place in private homes and will feature:

a short, original play
a potluck-style meal shared together
small-group, facilitated conversations about food, health, and American identity.

Get to know your neighbors through a play, a meal, and a chat.

RSVP HERE!

*Equitable Dinners is a licensed program of Out of Hand Theater Company in Atlanta, and are currently produced by Mixed Blood Theater in Minneapolis as well. We're so excited to bring Pittsburgh into this national conversation!

Our projects

“This was the best, most moving night of theatre in my lifetime.”

-Audience Member

“RealTime makes theater about communities, with communities in mind, and they don't pay lip service to it. They walk the walk, they don't just talk the talk.”
