Prime Stage’s 2025/2026 season features three world premiere plays by three local playwrights.
“We welcome you to experiences that can only be found in live theatre. Three world premieres by local playwrights celebrate the arts in Pittsburgh. Stories come alive, ideas ignite, and connections are made across generations. At Prime Stage, we believe theatre is more than entertainment. It’s a shared space for learning, reflection, and inspiration. As we continue to fulfill our mission to entertain, engage, and inspire, we remain dedicated to bringing literature and history to life in ways that only live theatre can offer.” said Wayne Brinda, Ed.D, Prime Stage’s Producing Artistic Director.
