UNEXPECTEDLY HEARTFELT.
Written by Lindsay Joelle
Directed by Monteze Freeland
A Co-World Premiere with Philadelphia Theatre Company
An unconventional buddy comedy follows first time sanitation worker Marlowe and lifer Danny in the cab of a nineteen-ton garbage truck in New York City. Tasked with picking up what the world has discarded, they learn that some things are easier to toss than others.

The Garbologists
Throughout the pandemic, City Theatre has followed the recommendations of scientists and the regulations determined by local and national health authorities. It continues to work closely with the theatrical unions around their reopening guidelines for artists. Additionally, the organization has surveyed its patrons, held focus groups, and consulted with medical professionals to advise on the safest environment possible. City Theatre has participated in a cohort of over 25 local venues who are developing a shared “compact” to help guide a healthy return to indoor performances and will continue to work with other organizations to ensure a unified and consistent experience for audiences across Pittsburgh.
To help do our part in ensuring the health and safety of all of us, effective immediately City Theatre will NOW REQUIRE PROOF OF VACCINE for all patrons attending events at City Theatre.
