Among the loudest applause on opening night of Noises Off at Pittsburgh Public Theater was the turntable reveal of the play-within-the-play’s backstage, to begin the second act. Another big moment of appreciation came even before the play began, when it was revealed that Pittsburgh theater artist and educator Kyle Haden has been named as Artistic Consultant, for a company that has been without an Artistic Director since Marya Sea Kaminski departed at the end of July.
