FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR It is all in the timing. City Theatre’s production of Pipeline by Dominique Morisseau launches just weeks after the acclaimed playwright was awarded a MacArthur “genius fellowship.” In the words of the Foundation: “Morisseau is a playwright whose works portray the lives of individuals and communities grappling with economic and social changes, both current and historical. With a background as an actor and spoken-word poet, she uses lyrical dialogue to construct emotionally complex characters who exhibit humor, vulnerability, and fortitude as they cope with sometimes desperate circumstances. Her plays juxtapose beauty with destruction, hope with despair, and bring to light the complicated realities of urban African American communities.” The repetition of the word “communities” highlights City Theatre’s approach to producing this play in a series of partnerships with our own community. The play’s director, Reginald Douglas, and the artistic team at City, reached out to a network of Pittsburgh leaders to make art and extend conversation around this work. He invited 1Hood Media, a collective of young socially conscious artists and activists, to compose original music for use in the production. We invited 20 African-American women leaders of Pittsburgh to join us following each performance to hold brief discussions with our audiences about the impact of the work and City Theatre donated hundreds of tickets to community organizations for use in advancing their own missions and goals. City Theatre believes in the power of art and dialogue to build a better community. We believe in empathy and understanding to help us cope with a complex and increasingly challenging world. We believe in diverse and talented voices that shed light on our community and our lives. And we believe in the relevance of the stories that we tell and the people who tell them. Listen carefully to Dominique Morisseau and she will tell you something that you may not have heard about what it means to be human and American.

Marc Masterson P.S.: I want to hear from you. Please share your experience with me at mmasterson@citytheatrecompany.org

PIPELINE

The Pipeline in Numbers In exploring the statistical realities of the school to prison pipeline and how these affect the Pittsburgh community, City Theatre has partnered with the Education Law Center. The ELC works to foster a transformational process that moves public education from one of discrimination and domination to one of equity and collaboration, where students, families, schools, and communities have the tools, strategic guidance, and capacity to be self and systems, advocates for quality public education.

What is the School to Prison Pipeline? The “school-to-prison Pipeline” describes the harmful mix of discipline policies, aggressive policing, and other school practices that funnel students out of school and into the juvenile justice and criminal justice systems. These systems disproportionately affect educationally vulnerable students, including students of color and students with disabilities. While Omari’s story in “Pipeline” helps us understand one student’s experience with the school-to-prison Pipeline, it is important to remember that Black boys are not the only students impacted by the school-to-prison Pipeline.

National and Local Data Every two years the U.S. Department of Education releases school discipline data on every public school and school district in the country. This graphic illustrates the most recently published data.

What You Can Do to Dismantle the School to Prison Pipeline?

1. Educate yourself about Local and National Trends: Some good reads to get

started with are Pushout by Dr. Monique Morris and We Came to Learn from the Advancement Project and Alliance for Educational Justice. 2. Learn about your District: Find out what the major problems and barriers are in your school and school district by looking at CRDC Data (https://ocrdata. ed.gov/), Safe Schools Data (https://tinyurl.com/y8gcrjcd), and School Performance Profiles (http://paschoolperformance.org/) 3. Partner with local organizations: ELC has many partners in this work to reduce exclusionary discipline and improve school climates. Some of them include: Black Girls Equity Alliance, ACLU, Education Rights Network, Seven Wild Dreams, G.O. Girls, Local Task Force for Education, Alliance for Police Accountability, Disability Rights Pennsylvania, THRIVE, and Education Law Clinic at Duquesne University School of Law. 4.

this is how you break in a black girl by a.k. payne

welcome to my class. first thing you must learn is how to place your tongue so that it does not burn. rational. you must be ration–rationed. ration–obedience measures the likelihood that you will sell. so. SELL. you must be careful to speak only when...[see her perform]. if YOU can ALL can and you CAN sell. this is you how you break...break in. [break her.] break in a black girl.

she is born screaming and this we muzzle quick. too much noise... much breath ...might start a fire, might combust/explode in the space between womb and sky. this black girl dreams in stars and we must bring her down to earth. she must reproduce and feed the beast with middle class babies who will uphold rational [rationed-ration] discourse. so this is how: tie her to a horse and drag her naked through this square. paint her skin red so she is perpetually angry even when she laughs. teach her to weep. so you may empathize. she may not just be. make her spectacle to be chewed apart. make her explode. drag her away from where she’s from. nowhere breathes life like homeland so cover her in other soil. No. I haven’t figured out a thing. I’m slipping off the edge of the earth and there is no answer in the dark dark universe. i’m in my last year of undergraduate at yale. i graduated in 2015 from pittsburgh public schools. i am twenty years old and Morrisseau’s Pipeline is one of my favorite plays. they say i got guards for days. walls up high as jericho. i got can’tbreatheness, sandrablandfear like something wild growing up amongst the garden-ness. got something sour in my right jaw. this summer in chicago me and my best friend spin through milleninum park basking in summertime heat taking selfies in fields of flowers. some cop behind us say what y’all doing and i almost jump out my bones almost start weeping middle of the summer middle of the heat. my ma teaches music at Faison. she is the best teacher i know and she is like Nya, like worlds of other teachers in the business of crafting revolutions in classrooms, daily. of making students who are told that their worth depends on their capacity

to produce in a way that can SELL, know that they are seen. she is the most infinite person i know. my childhood was her singing: there were no mirrors in my nana’s house... and i never knew that my skin was too black....and i never knew there were things that i missed….and .the beauty of everything yeaaaah was in her eyes. the space between this world of my girlhood and the world i have found myself the past few years – in an institution that is (perhaps?) growing but nonetheless one in which black and brown students are Author a.k. payne with her mother Tina Esu, asked daily to defend their right to who teaches music at Pittsburgh Faison K-5 exist: Bitch I may not have your money, but I have BOTH my mother and father at home workin’ their asses off at two jobs just to have me study up here with the rest of you cuz they think your privilege will rub off on me by association or some shit. Or maybe they believe in the false God of this freakin’ Fernbrook Academy that somehow it produces better people… – is a distance that equals what Pipeline is about. Pipeline is about the stakes of this system that chews us up and spits us out broken in or otherwise traumatized or…dead? Unless we teach ourselves/learn from those who walked before to break remake some mirrors. it is about what you grow up learning and how you can manage to survive and teach yourself in the midst. it is about Sweet Honey in the Rock and about having no answer and about let me chill sometimes and a mother’s forever-giving love, her need to care. it is about imagining ourselves into a future that holds up our past. one in which we do not, die soon. but live long and full and free. in which we see and are seen and are carving out space where we can BE. a.k. payne is a two-time winner of City’s EQT Young Playwrights Festival. She’s a current senior at Yale University and was commissioned by City to share her response to the Pipeline script. PIPELINE

DONOR BENEFITS

Chris Larkin performing in Nomad Motel by Carla Ching, which received both a workshop and its world premiere at City Theatre last season. After its debut on our Main Stage here in Pittsburgh in May 2018, the play will receive productions at theaters in Atlanta and Kansas City before making its Off-Broadway debut at the prestigious Atlantic Theater Company in New York City next spring. Photo by Kristi Jan Hoover.

Why Give? New plays are risky, but essential. New plays capture the tenor of

society and tell the unique stories of contemporary life. And City Theatre continues to be a national leader in shaping the field. But ticket sales account for less than 30% of our annual budget – the rest comes from a generous network of community contributors. We rely on the support of these donors so that artists have the opportunity to create freely and boldly. Nomad Motel will forever be known as having its world premiere in Pittsburgh and you make this possible. From the earliest readings to stunning world premieres, our patrons and artists together develop the future of the American theater. Please consider making a tax-deductible contribution today.
