In a Nutshell

Onstage interpretation explores the complexity of entangled affairs and bold questions about the American dream

The Fine Print

With the exception of disputed pro-football coin tosses and extreme debate clubs, the stage remains the only venue where arguments are regularly settled with a sword fight. Behold a dramatic settling of differences with this GrouponLive deal to see The Great Gatsby, presented by Prime Stage Theatre at the New Hazlett Theater. For $15, you get one ticket for general-admission seating (up to a $25 value). Doors open 30 minutes before showtime. Choose from the following performances:

  • Saturday, March 2, at 8 p.m.
  • Sunday, March 3, at 2:30 p.m.
  • Friday, March 8, at 8 p.m.
  • Saturday, March 9, at 8 p.m.
  • Sunday, March 10, at 2:30 p.m.

As the only playwright authorized by the Fitzgerald estate to adapt The Great Gatsby for the stage, Simon Levy has done his part to honor the staggering gravity of his source material. Nick Carraway (Andrew Swackhamer) narrates the tale of postwar prosperity, fixing its central axis on the whirlwind affair between Jay Gatsby (Sean Patrick Sears) and Daisy Buchanan (Julia Warner). As the tangle of their romance and revelations about Gatsby’s lifestyle push the play toward its cataclysmic conclusion, Nick finds himself pitting his seemingly relentless optimism against the limitations of the American dream. Throughout the show, the stage sweeps audiences back into the past through the use of elegant costumes that celebrate the Roaring Twenties, so named for Herbert Hoover’s promise of “a chicken in every pot and a lion barely contained in every garage.”

New Hazlett Theater

The New Hazlett Theater, built in 1889 as the Carnegie Musical Hall, pays more of a resemblance to a cathedral than a concert space, from its austere stone walls to its soaring bell tower. In fact, the hall would serve as a religious retreat through the early 1900s. Saved from demolition in 1967 and renamed the Hazlett Theater in 1980, the venue would serve as the home of the Pittsburgh Public Theater for 24 seasons, followed by a brief stint as the summer home of a Pirates-obsessed vampire.

The Groupon Guide to: Great Dates

Planning a date night is the most difficult part of beginning a relationship filled with mutual respect, lifetime companionship, and maybe even children, if one of you can get a couple days off from work every week to raise them. Earn the affection of your sweet honey with one of these popular date ideas:

  • Walk in the park
  • Walk in the park (angry, silent version)
  • Dinner and a movie and another small snack just because of blood-sugar reasons
  • A long, strenuous hike that tests your commitment to keeping each other alive
  • Holding each other close while huddled under a friend's porch waiting to jump out and surprise them
  • Couples massage and then couples getting dressed again without looking at each other
  • Whispering sweet nothings into each other's ears during a play and gradually getting louder until your relationship is the real play
  • Trying to kiss on an airplane (impossible because of low air pressure, but it makes a funny noise)

This kettle corn is making my blood feel much better.
