PITTSBURGH \u2014 The Pittsburgh CLO and Pittsburgh Public Theater are moving towards combining.<\/p>\n
In August of last year, the CLO, Public Theater and City Theatre announced that they were looking to identify potential areas of collaboration, including potential consolidation<\/a> in the aftermath of recent financial losses<\/a>. In January, the board of City Theatre announced it had voted against merging, leading to the CLO and Public Theater exploring a two-way consolidation.<\/a><\/p>\n Now, the two have announced plans to consolidate into a new organization, revealed in a letter from CLO Board Chair Joseph DiVito Jr. and Public Theater Board Chair Krysia Kubiak. Later this month, the boards of both theaters will vote on a proposal to consolidate, which would lead to a new operating entity being formed. This entity would have a new name, new leadership and a new board. The letter states that this is \u201cnot a merger, but the launch of something entirely new and exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n Click here to read more from our partners at the Pittsburgh Business Times.<\/a> <\/p>\n Download the FREE WPXI News app<\/a> for breaking news alerts.<\/p>\n Follow Channel 11 News on Facebook<\/a> and Twitter<\/a>. | Watch WPXI NOW<\/a><\/p>\n TOP STORIES FROM CHANNEL 11 NEWS <\/p>\n \u00a92026 Cox Media Group<\/p>\n
