The Mon Valley Medium is a darkly comedic tale centering on Mack, a local man who relays the story of his role after there’s a murder in a working-class community. I’ll get Alec to tell us about Mack, about the Mon Valley, this part of Pennsylvania just outside Pittsburgh, where Mr. Silberblatt was born and raised, and began in the theatrical community there. Alec Silberblatt is a playwright, actor, and director. He’s got numerous credits in the theatre as a performer and director, and acting credits in film and television.
