Marxist Remarks
Long dead socialist Karl Marx comes back to see our super-capitalist (expialidocious) society in “Marx in Soho,” a one man, one-act play by Howard Zinn performed by American actor-activist Brian Jones.

Artists and Models
An artist is creating a triptych of black womanhood tenement above the chaos of a Harlem race riot in “Wine in the Wilderness.” His muse will deconstruct his notions of black women in a discussion about race and women that ultimately changes his work. Head down to the Trust Arts Education Center, 805-807 Liberty Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15222. For more information, go to http://trustarts.culturaldistrict.org/event/8503/wine-in-the-wilderness
