Pittsburgh Public Theater announced the elimination of 11 staff positions on May 19. This decision follows the theater's board vote to merge with Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera. The merger is set to finalize in January 2027. Financial constraints and foregoing a traditional fall season necessitated the staffing changes. Former managing director Shaunda McDill's contract was also not renewed days prior.
