New Product Company Announces Two Bold Spring Offerings:
Pool (No Water) and NPC + NYC
A Darkly Comic Dive into Artistic Ego and a Multimedia Double Bill from NYC Artists Hit Pittsburgh this April
PITTSBURGH, PA – April 2025 —
New Product Company, the boundary-pushing theater collective founded by recent Carnegie Mellon directing grads, is proud to announce two ambitious productions this spring: the psychological gut-punch Pool (No Water) and the one-night-only multimedia showcase NPC + NYC, featuring two invited performances from emerging New York artists.
​​​POOL (NO WATER)
Written by Mark Ravenhill
April 19th – 20th at 7:30 pm at Community Forge (1256 Franklin Ave, Wilkinsburg, PA)
​
A glamorous artist invites her old friends—once collaborators, now competitors—for a weekend at her lavish new home. When an unexpected accident turns celebration into crisis, the group finds inspiration in tragedy… and quickly spirals into moral murk.
​
Ravenhill’s gripping, poetic text is delivered with searing intensity in this raw, movement-infused production. Pool (No Water) is a ferocious exploration of friendship, envy, exploitation, and the hunger to be seen.

NPC + NYC
Saturday, April 26 at 8:00 PM at Community Forge (1256 Franklin Ave, Wilkinsburg, PA)
​
For the first time ever, New Product Company presents invited guest artists in a dynamic double bill from New York City:
-
2043 – A razor-sharp satire of digital warfare and surveillance, this genre-bending solo performance delivers biting humor and haunting prophecy.
-
Gertie: Reloaded – A chaotic, cartoon-fueled collision of live dance and animation, where human bodies and vintage toons blur into one electrifying ride.

“These artists are making work that’s daring, weird, and deeply theatrical,” says co-founder Pria Dahiya. “We couldn’t be more excited to bring them to Pittsburgh.”
