FROM THE CO-ARTISTIC DIRECTORS

Essential: meaning absolutely necessary or extremely important.

While the word can be used in many contexts, the years inside of a global pandemic have
placed essential workers at the forefront of our collective minds. In an instant, familiar
and unfamiliar workers were now lauded as heroes. While some may shy away from the
title, their contribution to the forward motion of our world is undeniable. Thank you to every
essential worker who sacrifices mental stability, time away from their families, and their
health for the benefit of our global productivity.

Lindsay Joelle’s The Garbologists digs into the lives of two of those workers simply trying
to make ends meet. She mines comedy from their darkest moments and finds treasure in
the detritus of their lives. This care toward humanity offers a reverent and funny
conclusion to a season that was held together with grit, luck, prayer, and affirmation. After
being produced in our 2019 Momentum Festival, the play was originally set to premiere in
our 2020-21 season…we all know what happened. In the interim, many theater
companies found new power in collaboration both locally and nationally. A product of that
collective partnership resulted in a well-supported and much applauded production at the
Philadelphia Theatre Company in November of 2021. This performance marks the much
coveted second production of the co-world premiere.

At City Theatre you have probably noticed the use of the prefix “co” quite a bit. The idea
of collaboration and community is the essence of our company. As we stretch to learn the
depths of those meanings, there is an undeniable understanding that every production is
a co-production. There are multiple hands and brilliant minds that make each theatrical
experience memorable and many of them work in the guise of darkness or behind a desk.
Let us continue to shine a light on them as Lindsay does in her work.

In closing, thank you for making this season a success beyond measure and for taking
pride in following the necessary safety precautions that allowed City Theatre to take
another step closer to living out our vision of being the finest mid-sized theater in
America.

You are essential to our work, and we look forward to seeing you again next season!

Seen and Unseen:

The Life of a
Sanitation Worker

“This city thinks we’re invisible.” — Danny

When you take your trash down to the curb, how much time do you
spend contemplating where it’s going and how it will get there? For
many of us, it’s an automatic routine and the hiss, whine, and grinding
gears of a garbage truck trundling up a street is little more than
background woven into the sonic pattern of our lives. But for Danny and
Marlowe, the central characters in Lindsay Joelle’s The Garbologists,
garbage encompasses so much more.
Marlow and Danny, as uniformed employees of the The City of New York
Department of Sanitation (DSNY), are members of New York’s Strongest.
The DSNY is New York’s third largest agency with some 7,800 sanitation

men and women in its ranks. They are
responsible for collecting 12,000 tons of
garbage and recycling from the city streets
each day. DSNY’s work also includes storm
clean up and snow removal; its services
are paramount to keeping the city that
never sleeps running.
Careers in sanitation in New York can be
rewarding; as members of Teamsters Union
Local 831, sanitation workers are eligible for a
pension after 22 years of service and can earn a significant salary when
factoring in overtime. However, the work is physically taxing. Sanitation
workers walk around 15 miles a day and can lift over 23 tons weekly. It is
also hazardous; sanitation is ranked the fifth most dangerous job in the
country. Between the physical toll of lifting, sharp or toxic objects hidden
in the trash, and contending with traffic hazards, few employees make it
through their career without sustaining an injury.
DSNY employees take immense pride in their work. Perhaps the
combination of demanding labor and hiding in plain sight informs the
bonds of the small but mighty force that removes the refuse of millions
of New Yorkers. As detailed in Robin Nagle’s 2013 book Picking Up: On
the Streets and Behind the Trucks with the Sanitation Workers of New York
City there is rich lexicon of trash collection, from words like Junior Flip
which demarcates a new sanitation worker like Marlowe to mongo.
Coined in the 1980s, mongo is slang for items scavenged from the trash.
While technically against DSNY department policy, there is in fact a trash
museum of items mongoed from the streets in an East Harlem
department garage.
The Garbologists delves into the world of trash collection, uncovering the
hidden secrets lining the streets of New York. Through Danny and
Marlowe’s journey, the script brings into focus the unexplored,
herculean task of keeping a city’s streets clean. Perhaps the next time
you hear sanitation workers outside your window, you’ll pause to thank
them for their essential labor and wonder what treasures they might
uncover during their day.

DONOR RECOGNITION

Each season, we go on a journey. You take a chance on plays you’ve never

seen before, often by playwrights you might not know. Our pledge to you is that we scour the country for
the very best work possible—plays that speak truthfully, passionately, and urgently (and, of course,
entertainingly) about the here and now. New plays are risky, but they’re filled with the excitement of the
unknown, too. City Theatre is deeply grateful to our community for helping to sustain our theatre year
after year. Donors acknowledged here made gifts between July 1, 2021 - April 12, 2022. Every effort has
been made to accurately record and acknowledge all donors. If your name is listed incorrectly, please
contact Dianne Duursma at 412.431.4400 ext. 278 or dduursma@citytheatrecompany.

CITY THEATRE’S MASSARO FAMILY PLAZA

In 2021, City Theatre honored Pittsburgh’s
Massaro Family by naming the public space
located in front of the new Philip Chosky
Production Center after the family’s late
patriarch and matriarch: Joseph, Jr. and Carol.

City Theatre and the Massaro Family have a The Massaro family in The Joseph & Carol Massaro
long-history, going back to 1990 when the Memorial Plaza. Photo credit: Kristi Jan Hoover
family’s construction company served as general
contractor for the renovation of our then new
home on the South Side. Later, the Massaro
Corporation served in the same capacity for the
conversion of the old Walter Long Manufacturing
Company property into our 6,000 square foot
production center, which opened in 2020.

Joseph and Carol had four children (including
David Massaro, who served as City Theatre’s board president from 2013-2015) and 15 grandchildren and
great-grandchildren.

City Theatre is proud to showcase this long-standing partnership with The Joseph & Carol Massaro
Memorial Plaza at 1315 Bingham Street and we are deeply grateful for the family’s many years of support.

DONOR RECOGNITION

FUNDER SPOTLIGHT:
THE DONALD & SYLVIA ROBINSON FAMILY FOUNDATION

Donald Robinson (1925 - 2017)
Sylvia Robinson (1929 - 2018)
The lives and legacy of Donald and Sylvia Robinson continue on through their namesake foundation, The
Donald & Sylvia Robinson Family Foundation. Now led by their children and grandchildren, the Foundation
has recently made a significant multi-year grant to City Theatre, making it the lead funder behind the
organization’s education programming: the Young Playwrights Contest and Young Playwrights Festival.
Married for 69 years, Sylvia and Donald shared a life-long interest in the arts, with Sylvia even appearing
on stage in the City Theatre New Works Festival and Jewish Community productions, and the foundation
supports a wide range of organizations in Pittsburgh as well as Israel.
Over the next five years, City Theatre will continue to expand and grow its reach and impact in the lives of
middle and high school students throughout Western Pennsylvania due to this extraordinary gift of support.
Later this spring, we look forward to a permanent recognition of The Donald and Sylvia Robinson Family
Foundation as we re-name our Main Stage theatre stairwell in Sylvia’s honor.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT

City Theatre would like to acknowledge that our buildings reside in Dionde:gâ, the Seneca
language name for the Pittsburgh region. We work and create art on the unceded, ancestral
lands of many Indigenous peoples including the Seneca Nation, members of the
Haudenosaunee (hoe-dee-no-SHOW-nee) Confederacy (also referred to by the French as the
Iroquois Confederacy). The Confederacy was comprised of the Mohawks, Oneidas,
Onondagas, Cayugas, and Senecas and formed to unite the five nations and create a
peaceful means of decision making. The Seneca’s jurisdiction over the area also saw the
region as home to the Lenape (also referred to as the Delaware), the Shawnee, and others.
As recently as the 1960s, one-third of the Seneca’s tribal lands were taken by the U.S.
government to create the Kinzua Dam northeast of the city.
The region’s history also stretches back further to the prehistoric cultures the Adena people,
who were followed by the Hopewell, then the Monongahela and Osage.
We are mindful that our work here is possible because the land and lives of people native to
this place were stolen. Generation upon generation (past, present, and future) of indigenous
people here and all over the world are respectful stewards of the earth and its resources.
Through this acknowledgement, I invite you to join me in paying respect to the elders both
past and present.
City Theatre also recognizes its participation in and benefit from the systemic exclusion of
Black, Latinx, Asian, Middle Eastern and all People of Color. We specifically recognize and
acknowledge the treatment of the enslaved Africans and their descendants in the
Pittsburgh community. We honor them by committing to creating an anti-racist space for
the creation and enjoyment of theater.
We encourage you to visit the Council of Three Rivers American Indian Center to learn more
and support their work: http://www.cotraic.org/

WHY GIVE

Julianne Avolio performs in An Untitled New Play by Justin Timberlake, created by Matt Schatz, which
enjoyed its world premiere at City Theatre in a co-production with Pittsburgh CLO in 2021. This production,
twice-delayed due to the pandemic, was a culmination of four years of development in partnership
between two local legacy arts organizations which resulted in rave reviews and a national audience.

For 47 years, City Theatre has remained one of the most beloved,

impactful, and dynamic cultural organizations in Pittsburgh. From its nationally-
recognized programming of contemporary plays to its work in the schools and
community, City Theatre continues to reinvent itself. The largest performing arts
organization located outside of the Cultural District, City Theatre is notable for
both the excellence of its artists and art as well as an audience and donor base
inspired by thoughtful and thought-provoking new work.
So why give?
New plays exist without the safety net of tradition. New plays are risky by their
nature, but essential for a vibrant, diverse, and ever-evolving art-form. During
these challenging times, your support helps ensure City Theatre’s recovery from
the pandemic AND is a critical investment in preserving the future of the theater
field and its artists.

AN INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE

By walking through our doors, we invite you to join our community.
You are welcome here.

Part of our mission is to challenge and engage a diverse audience.
Feel free to laugh. To cry. To react honestly.
This is live theater. Our artists are living and breathing right in front of you —
They need your reactions, not your distractions.
Bring your full self, but please ensure your actions do not harm other audience
members.
Please be an audience member that joins with others, that has compassion for the
experiences of others.
We’re in the same space. At the same time. This Is community.
2020 taught us that community is a privilege.
2020 also reinforced that we need to do better. Historically, theater has a culture
of exclusivity.
Part of our anti-racism work at City Theatre is to break down barriers that limit
access to art.
We ask you to join us in this imperative work.
We invite you to get to know our core values and to read our organizational code
of conduct.
We want to hold ourselves accountable. If you have a negative experience in our
space, we want to know. There are multiple ways to call us in. You can:
• Speak to a house manager
• Or any employee present with a City Theatre name tag
• Email the staff EDIA committee at [email protected]

We’re here. We’re listening. Let’s build a better community together.
