Mission

The mission of Kinetic Theatre is threefold: To use the language of theatre to engage the public in exploring the issues facing our diverse and rapidly changing world, to place the text, whether it be classical or contemporary, at the center of all we do, and to respect and fairly compensate the world class artists that write, perform, direct, and design our shows. Kinetic Theatre presented four plays in its 2025 season; the Pittsburgh premieres of Christopher Hampton's Embers (adapted from the novel by Sandor Marai), Martin McDonagh's Hangmen, Sam Tsoutsouvas's world premiere adaptation of Herman Melville's story, Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall Street, and a reprise of Mark Shanahan's play, A Sherlock Carol.

The play hits all the right notes, seamlessly melding Charles Dickens' very familiar A Christmas Carol with a comparatively minor Conan Doyle story, The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle. it starred Kinetic associate artists and Pittsburgh favorites David Whalen and Simon Bradbury as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.
    Expenses $63,952 · grants $5,000 · revenue $32,261
