Let’s be real: without you, barebones productions wouldn’t be the unapologetic, boundary-pushing theater company it is today. As we charge into our 22nd season, we’re still doing what we do best—stripping theater down to its core and letting bold, honest stories shine. Whether you’ve cheered us on from the audience, tossed a few dollars our way, or simply shared our wild vision with friends, you’ve been part of this journey, and we’re beyond grateful.

At barebones, we’re not just about theater. We’re about creating a space where people can connect, question, and celebrate what it means to be human—all while keeping things a little rough around the edges. In a world that could use a bit more truth, our work digs deep and holds nothing back.

We’re planning big things for the upcoming season, and we need your support. A gift today will keep ticket prices accessible, bring daring new voices to the stage, and help us reach communities from Braddock to Pittsburgh to wherever else our work is needed.

Your support isn’t just funding productions; it’s fueling an experience, a conversation, a movement.

With every dollar you give, you’re making Pittsburgh’s cultural landscape richer, sharper, and just a bit more thrilling. 

So, will you join me as we head into another season of important and entertaining storytelling? Your support lets us keep doing what we do best: making theater that’s bold, raw, and just a little rough around the edges.

Thank you for being part of the barebones family. We can’t wait to see what the next season brings—with you right there beside us.

With gratitude,

Patrick Jordan, Founder & Artistic Director
