Founded
in 1984, the Aliquippa Alliance for Unity and
Development (AAUD) is a non-profit 501(c) (3) charitable
organization that has a proven record of creating and
administrating successful programs and services. The
AAUD was created to combat the devastating social and
economic effects of the loss of 14,000 steel mill jobs.
The AAUD established a one-stop human service center
(The Franklin Center) and a medical clinic, renovated
and converted buildings to provide low-income housing
and commercial space, and spearheaded economic
development efforts by bringing needed capital to the
distressed community of Aliquippa. Supplemental
programming for the schools provides year-round career
and art classes and enrichment activities. The AAUD has
provided business loans and workforce development
programs for the low income, unemployed, and other
disenfranchised populations of Beaver County. The annual
art festival, Aliquippa Embraces Art, brought art
experiences to a community that has no other local
opportunity for cultural experience.

Pittsburgh Playback Theatre
Since its founding in 1986, Pittsburgh Playback Theatre
has presented groundbreaking work with prisoners, the
homeless, African American youth, survivors of
concentration camps, the elderly and other populations
whose voices are often lost in a multi-media world.
Best performed when focused on a central theme, the
interactive and improvisational nature of Pittsburgh
Playback Theatre provides an enlightening experience to
its audience members.
Playback Theatre is an internationally recognized
process which derives from psychodrama and
storytelling. Playback was founded in New York City in
1975 and is a form of improvisational theater where
personal stories from the audience are gathered and
“played-back” on stage. It encourages the audience to
abandon traditional spectator roles and adopt an active
participation in the performance. Playback Theatre is
performed by over 100 groups in 18 countries, including
over 20 in the United States. The overarching mission
of this art form is expressed in the mission of the
International Playback Theatre Network:
We recognise the universal longing
for affirmation and for connection with others.
The spontaneous enactment of personal
experience in Playback Theatre builds connection between
people by honouring the dignity, drama, and universality
of their stories

The
Times Project seeks to provide support and opportunities
to artists. Through developing works of art in public
places, and encouraging artists to become a greater
force in the progress of their city, the Times Project
works to create a space and a time for art in this
community. The Times Project, established in 1990, has
developed six public art projects in and around
Pittsburgh. The vision that inspired the development of
the Times Project is the same vision that has fueled the
renewed value Pittsburgh is placing on the arts. The
Board recognizes the vital role public art plays in
enriching communities by infusing creative connections
and beautifying public spaces. As communities across
Pittsburgh, from downtown to Homestead, engage in
revitalization projects that draw upon the unique
visions and assets, exciting opportunities lie ahead for
