“No Place like Rome" - March 4
Presented by The Mask and Wig Club of the University of Pennsylvania

 Friends, Romans, Countrymen, are you not entertained? Then strap on your sandals, put on your finest toga, and journey down to the Kelly Strayhorn Theater. Don’t worry about getting lost on the way, because all roads lead to Rome! Back in the day, Rome was a small college town obsessed with gladiator fighting. Each year, students hack each other to bits to win the annual Gladiator Tournament. A Greek international student, Victoria, has been preparing for the tournament for her entire life, while the Emperor’s weakling son Scrawnius will do anything he can to get out of it. Will Victoria be able to take down her nemesis and survive the movement to kick Greek life off campus? Who’s going to perform at the Gladiator Half-Time Show? And what’s so funny about that thing that happened on the way to the Forum? *This performance in rated PG-13

Black Bottom Film Fest - Feb 24-26

Pittsburgh's first Black Bottom Film Festival showcasing African-American contributions to cinema is at the August Wilson Center for African American Culture, 980 Liberty Ave, Downtown.

The event is intended to foster an examination and discussion of how filmmakers use art to uplift, confront and impact American culture, using the work of writer August Wilson as a touchstone. His 10-play American Century Cycle includes “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.”

The festival will celebrate the contributions of Michael Schultz, who will receive the Black Bottom Film Festival Award for Cinematic Excellence. Mr. Schultz, one of the first African-American directors hired by the major studios, is director of the award-winning film “Woman Thou Art Loosed.” In television, he has directed “black-ish,” “Star,” “New Girl,” “My Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,” “Arrow” and more.

After the award ceremony, there will be a double-feature of Mr. Schultz’s “Cooley High” and “Which Way Is Up?” starring Richard Pryor.
