Episode Details

New Product Company comes to the Cultural Trust's newest venue, Three Stories, with Whistleblowers! Writer and director Spencer Byham-Carson speaks with Jim Cunningham about the play.

Five employees at a fictional aerospace company are forced into a mandatory empathy course. When a whistleblower scandal goes public mid-session, the exercises stop being hypothetical. What follows is darkly funny, politically sharp, and uncomfortably human.​​ Spencer tells Jim about what inspired him to write this story, and how the cast has transformed the play, and his thoughts on the current state of theater in Pittsburgh.

Whistleblowers opens tonight, May 28th at Three Stories, located at 937 Liberty Ave, and runs through Saturday, May 30th. More information and tickets are available on New Product Company's website.
