It’s finally time to break onto the scene! Join local director Adil Mansoor and your fellow emerging arts leaders for the first Pittsburgh Emerging Arts Leaders Artist Talk of the season. We’ll spend time with Adil Mansoor, a theatre director and educator, centering the stories of queer folks and people of color in Pittsburgh. Adil will speak about how he has made a career for himself as an artist in Pittsburgh. This virtual event will conclude with an optional networking experience for you to connect with like-minded artists, administrators, and those seeking to enter or re-enter the arts industry.
