Phase 3 Productions is one of the most interesting and fresh theatre companies in the Pittsburgh area. Its vision extends beyond simply entertaining an audience. Central to the mission of Phase 3 is the inclusion of relevant social awareness in everything produced. It is from this important central idea that the season draws its motivation, its importance, and its fire. Pittsburgh theatre is full of interesting, important and socially aware theatre. However, this is expressed in a show by show basis. Phase 3 is unique in that it's entire season is an examination of a single issue from multiple perspectives. Not only does this provide a variety of exciting and entertaining productions for Phase 3's audience, it allows for multiple lenses through which Phase 3 can focus on its central social theme, allowing a natural evolution of discussion to occur.
