As we reflect on the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, our thoughts are with the victims, the first responders, and their families on this day of mourning and remembrance. We will always remember and honor the sacrifices of those who lost their lives.

This is an important milestone, and it’s also a time to look ahead. Guided by our Board of Directors, we are using this anniversary season to evaluate how we best fulfill our mission, strengthen our organizational capacity, deepen community partnerships, and reimagine how we produce and present professional theatre. Instead of planning another season; we are building the foundation for a successful future.

More information will be forthcoming as we reimagine our programming model to balance fully staged professional productions with staged readings, workshops, and community-based programming. This approach allows us to remain artistically ambitious while using our resources more strategically and creating more opportunities for artists and audiences.

Help shape our future by completing this survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSca_31uwsU0NmQrK-fLWAnSAe-N4f9UsO271T14_011CFzlEg/viewform

Prime Stage Theatre’s "Freedom House: Giving Life a Second Chance" makes its PBS broadcast debut June 15, 2026 at 11:30 p.m on WQED-TV.

The original play by L.E. McCullough dramatizes the 1967 creation of Freedom House Ambulance Service, America’s first mobile EMS program staffed by professionally-trained paramedics from Pittsburgh’s Hill District.

Directed by Scott Calhoon, the 90-minute video captures the play’s world premiere at New Hazlett Theater in January, 2026, and features standout performances by Willa “Katy” Cotten, Cynthia Dallas, Justin Mohr, Darrin Mosley, Anne Rematt, DeVaughn Robinson and Ryan Warsing.

On June 15, "Freedom House: Giving Life a Second Chance" will air in tandem with WQED’s 2023 film documentary by Annette Banks titled Freedom House Ambulance: The FIRST Responders.

Starting June 19, the play will be available for free online streaming on the WQED+ channel.

During its 8-year lifespan, Freedom House served as the foundational model for today’s paramedic profession and modern EMS departments around the world. Crucial to the program’s success were the men and women from Pittsburgh’s largely African American Hill District whose dedication and skill transformed themselves, their community and the nation.

“The Freedom House story is an important story of resourcefulness and collaboration, and it’s a story our community told us it wanted to see dramatized onstage,” says Prime Stage Theatre artistic director Dr. Wayne Brinda. “With Freedom House: Giving Life a Second Chance being broadcast on WQED, more people can learn about the transformative and lifesaving care EMS and public health agencies perform every day in Pittsburgh and across the U.S.”

Since its founding in 1996, Prime Stage Theatre has presented over 112 plays that introduce student and family audiences to classic and contemporary works of world literature.

Live theatre telling Pittsburgh stories … always on view at Prime Stage Theatre and WQED.
