Event Details
Did you watch The Pitt last season? Did you see the episode where the residents learn about the Freedom House Ambulance Service? Come learn the real story about what is considered America's First Mobile Emergency Medical Unit. Created in 1967 in Pittsburgh's Hill District.
This story will be performed in play form by Prime Stage Theatre this winter.
Join playwright L. E. McCullough and artistic director Wayne Brinda for an informative talk about this piece of Pittsburgh history, and how it was transformed into a play.
Performances will be held January 23-February 1. Visit Www.primestage.com for more information and tickets.
