Join us on Monday, October 20, 2025, 7PM at Row House Cinema for BILL NUNN DAY in the City of Pittsburgh—a special celebration honoring the late, great Pittsburgh native and acclaimed stage and film actor Bill Nunn. Best known for his unforgettable role as Radio Raheem in Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing, Nunn also made a lasting impact offscreen as the founder of the Bill Nunn Theatre Outreach Project, which expands access to theatre arts for under-served public school students and presents the Pittsburgh regional NEXT Narrative Monologue Competition and August Wilson New Voices.
This annual event launches our educational programming for the school year while paying tribute to Nunn’s extraordinary legacy. The day features a special screening of Do the Right Thing at Lawrenceville’s Row House Cinema—Spike Lee’s iconic exploration of race, policing, and human empathy, set against the backdrop of a Brooklyn pizza shop on a sweltering summer day.
A portion of the proceeds from this event will benefit the Bill Nunn Theatre Outreach Project, supporting our mission to provide transformative theatre education and opportunities for young people across the Pittsburgh region. For every ticket sold to Do the Right Thing, $4 will go directly toward sustaining this important work in our city.
