The Public Announces Star Turn in
A FEW GOOD MEN — On Sale August 5
Pittsburgh Public Theater Artistic Director Marya Sea Kaminski and Managing Director Lou Castelli today announced that single tickets for A Few Good Men will go on sale Monday, August 5, 2019 at 10 am. Prices range from $30 to $80 with $16.50 tickets available for those age 26 and younger and full-time students. Subscriptions for six-play packages are also still available ($180 to $369).
A Few Good Men, Aaron Sorkin’s masterpiece about military lawyers defending two U.S. Marines accused of murder, will be directed by Marya Sea Kaminski and feature a cast of 20. This ensemble includes professional actors as well as former members of the military. A Few Good Men is presented by PNC.
Joining the cast will be two great Pittsburgh legends, former Pittsburgh Steeler and Vietnam veteran Rocky Bleier and KDKA’s Larry Richert, who will each appear as Judge Julius Alexander Randolph during select performances. Also cast are Ryan Bergman, Ken Bolden, Monteze Freeland, Kyle Haden, Doug Harris, Ryan Patrick Kearney, Tom Kolos, Jason McCune, Jaron J. McLain, George Montgomery, Burke Moses, J. Alex Noble, Alison Weisgall, Brandon Saturley, Cotter Smith, Michael Patrick Trimm, Adam Wainwright, and Malic Williams.
“This play opens an incredible opportunity, not only to bring Sorkin’s terrific wit and genius dialogue to life on our stage, but to gather gifted professionals and citizen artists together to tell this story with grit, authenticity, and passion,” Ms. Kaminski said “I am honored, and really inspired, to have the chance to work with members of Pittsburgh’s veteran community alongside powerhouse regional performers to ignite the themes of this play. Of course, bringing Rocky Bleier and Larry Richert to the cast is especially thrilling. We expect this to be an event that marks a great moment for us at Pittsburgh Public Theater - of robust imagination and collaboration.”
