Pittsburgh, PA – City Theatre Company has announced their 2025-26 season, marking the South Side company’s 51st year. 

The subscription season includes Another Kind of Silence, Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women, Malcolm X and Redd Foxx Washing Dishes at Jimmy’s Chicken Shack in Harlem, Eureka Day, and Hedwig and the Angry Inch. The season opens Sept. 20 with L M Feldman’s Another Kind of Silence, which runs through Oct. 12 on the main stage.

Single ticket, group reservations for parties of 10 or more, and subscription packages are now available. Subscribers may also purchase pre-paid parking, including one show in the Cultural District, for $55. 

Second City, the award-winning Chicago-based improv comedy troupe, returns to City Theatre for a special performance of Laugh, Harder, Not Smarter: The Best of Second City, April 9-18. Subscribers have early access to tickets.

The company also announced a professional restructuring. Clare Drobot will serve as sole Artistic Director alongside Managing Director James McNeel. 

“There is no greater champion for new plays in Pittsburgh than Clare Drobot,” said board president Barbara Rudiak. 

Drobot, a professionally trained dramaturg, is known for her new-play development work and for her previous role as associate Artistic-Director under Marc Masterson and Co-Artistic Director with James McNeel.

Her vision has led to daring projects, including this season’s Another Kind of Silence, described by City Theatre as “a bilingual and bicultural journey of language, desire, and dreaming that will inspire the heart with its wanderlust and wonder.”
