Pittsburgh Russian Theater "Sobesednik"

  We are The Russian Theater of Pittsburgh. Our theater company was started 10 years ago as club of friends who love theater and are truly passionate about creating art and finding ways of telling stories about the world, people, and their lives full of happiness and sorrow, laughs and tears, ups and downs, unexpected luck and hard obstacles and challenges. For these 10 years we have produced 10 plays by playwrights not only form Russia, but all over the world. We are the only Russian theater in Pittsburgh, and we are not only for Russians. We are for everybody, for people of all ethnicity, all ages, all hair and skin colors, who want to experience something different. We encourage cultural diversity and produce plays that tell about people from different countries and continents.

We are a group of Russian enthusiasts who came to a foreign for us country some time ago. Someone came earlier than the others, someone came later. But all of us are driven by the idea not only to save our native culture, but share it with people who are new to it. We share our culture, history, and language with people who don’t know Russia so well, but want to find out something new, experience something different and unusual, and be a part of it.
