What an auspicious week which also marks the 50th Anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education.In this great week for civil rights as marriage equality finally arrives in America I will be back in Pittsburgh performing my new show “Us” about these subjects this weekend at the Warhol Museum Saturday and Sunday May 22 & 23 at 8PM. Please send friends! Call quick for ticket reservations (412) 237-8300. www.warhol.org
