MARK FLEISCHER AND PITTSBURGH CLO EXIT

“It’s been an honor to work here. I take a lot of pride in what we’ve done, and the people I’ve worked with, the staff, the donors, the crew, but I recognize that it’s a time of transition, and a time that’s scary for some. My hope is that the community pulls around and says, ‘We still want this.’ Ask for what you want, and you’ll ask for what you want by buying tickets. And I hope that those people know change is not easy. Someone once said, ‘Change is not a Pittsburgh virtue,’ but we have had change. It’s not Heinz Field anymore.” — Mark Fleischer, leaving Pittsburgh for Studio Tenn Theatre in Tennessee

Wisely, the night was focused on the local musicians and performers who have graced stages from Pitt Stadium to the Melody Tent to the Civic Arena to every stage in the Downtown Cultural District, plus Heinz Field.
