Upcoming:
JOIN a listening session on
Food, Health and American Identity
Saturday April 18, 2-4 or
Monday April 20, 6-8
via zoom
What does food mean to you? Is it pleasure, celebration, joy, stress? All of these?
What is "American food"? Is it pizza? Is it pierogis?
How do you feel about how our country deals with food?
Be part of creating a brand new play about food, health and American identity! Share your thoughts in our small-group listening sessions where we’ll ask questions like the ones above. We’ll then use your thoughts to inspire a new play, presented as part of EQUITABLE DINNERS: a play, a meal, and a conversation taking place in private homes across the city this July.
Click below to RSVP for a listening session— let’s get this conversation started!
*Equitable Dinners is a licensed program of Out of Hand Theater Company in Atlanta. We're so excited to bring Pittsburgh into this national conversation!
What we do
-

We connect
Every new RealTime theater project is created by a diverse constellation of individuals with knowledge and experience reaching well beyond the arts, united by the story we’re telling together.
-

We collaborate
As we create new works of community-engaged theater, we build networks of artists, nonprofits, businesses, and community members that inform and inspire each other.
-

We create
Browse the projects we’ve created with a broad range of collaborators, from theater artists to scientists to rock bands to social workers to our neighbors down the street.
“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.”
—Artist/ Community Collaborator
