Body
WHEREAS, Karla Boos founded Quantum Theatre in 1990, hoping to initiate in Pittsburgh a company that incorporated the influences of world culture and the dynamic trends sweeping through the international theatre scene; and,
WHEREAS, Quantum Theatre has provided a nurturing home for Boos' evolution as an artist and for the hundreds of collaborating artists who draw upon the resources of image, world languages, mixed media, and the power of non-traditional performance sites; and,
WHEREAS, unique for the region, Quantum's productions are staged environmentally in places that aren't theatres - productions that have become a reflection of Pittsburgh itself, expressing the varying character of the city in places as different from each other as the grandest museum and the least likely abandoned industrial site; and,
WHEREAS, Quantum's work has been recently featured in American Theatre Magazine and Stage Directions Magazine, and frequently earns distinction in local publications' year-end tallies; and,
WHEREAS, Quantum Theatre is celebrating their 25th season of progressive, professional artists dedicated to producing intimate and sophisticated theatrical experiences in uncommon settings, exploring universal themes of truth, beauty, and human relationships in unexpected ways.
Title
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Council of the City of Pittsburgh does hereby declare May 20, 2015, "Quantum Theatre Day" in the City of Pittsburgh.
