Gem of the Ocean

Life. Being filled up.
Death. Seeing the City of Bones.
Death-in-Life. Slavery...Freedom...
Sanctuary. A house in the Hill District.
Labor relations. Pittsburgh at the turn of the 20th Century, tainted by post-Civil War American troubles.


August Wilson's Gem of the Ocean is playing at the Pittsburgh Public Theatre, and is beautifully acted and produced. The actors and actresses plied their craft well, interacted with each other wonderfully, and made a dramatically acted and sung scene of confession fill the theatre and our hearts.

This standing-ovation show is selling the most seats by far of all current Pittsburgh theatre productions. Need I say more?
