BWW Review: THE OLD MAN AND THE OLD MOON Takes an Epic Journey at The Wallis
Remember the joy of being a kid and spending hours upon hours acting out stories using whatever you could find?

BWW Interview: PigPen On Camaraderie, Roles, & THE OLD MAN AND THE OLD MOON
PigPen Theatre Company will be bringing their latest show THE OLD MAN AND THE OLD MOON to The Wallis March 2, 2019. The seven-member PigPen Theatre Company, together since meeting in 2010 as undergrads at Carnegie Mellon School of Drama, have become so tight-knit; they finish each others' sentences. So, it's only fitting in this round-robin, free-for-all of an interview that everyone answers at once, or in partial sentences. In this organized chaos of a Q&A session, I will attribute all the answers simply to the collective 'PigPen,' of which these charming seven go by their individual names of Alex Falberg, Ben Ferguson, Curtis Gillen, Ryan Melia, Matt Nuernberger, Arya Shahi and Dan Weschler.
