Partners
How we work is as important as what we create.
For us, developing new community-fueled theatrical experiences means building networks of nonprofit, arts, education and business partnerships that inform and inspire each project. We consider this expanding, connective constellation of entities to be an ever-evolving work of art in itself.
Partnering with RealTime might look like:
Hosting a performance or event
Providing kitchen space for a theatrical-culinary experience
Making show-related art objects for participants in foreign countries
Offering mentorship and training to a show’s community ensemble
Connecting us with ordinary, extraordinary Pittsburghers who become part of a show
