Milo de Venus is a world premiere play by Brian Pope, featuring local Pittsburgh actors Joanna Getting, Hazel Leroy, Jalina McClarin, Max Reusing, and Mike Zolovich, directed by Shannon Knapp and stage managed by Sarah McPartland. A young artist (McClarin) spends money she doesn't have to pay for an art class from a famous local visual artist (Getting) only to find out that the man (Reusing) she has been messaging on Tinder is the class's model.
This is the inaugural production of Non-State Actors, a laboratory for creating risky performances that are entirely new, devised, and local. For more information email nonstateactorspgh@gmail.com or visit facebook.com/nonstateactorspgh/
