Point Park University

It's John Krasinski, Pittsburgh soccer.

Now, uh, here, uh, you know, we have a very special edition of college soccer, uh, central here because, uh, this is, this is going to be about my alma mater point park university.

Um, in particular, uh, the program that I probably, I probably wouldn't be doing this show right now if I wasn't involved as a soccer player at point park university, way, way, way, way, way back in the day, uh, when we, um, when we first started our program.

And then of course I got roped into coaching in the, in the mid nineties.

And then that we had quite a three year run there.

And I I'll talk about that more this weekend.

Uh, you actually see some content on soccer now about that, but, uh, but actually I'm really, really excited right now to bring on Cameron Williams, the head coach of the point park men's program, uh, You've inherited a program that has some tradition, Cameron, but this is my long belated official welcome to Pittsburgh, welcome to Point Park introduction for you, Cameron, but it's great to have you here.

No, I appreciate it, John, and it's never too late, but yeah, I mean, we've been in touch and we've had contact, but I'm glad to be on and talk to you about Point Park.

Greg Brown has also been one of my day one mentors.

The second I transferred in the Point Park University, I had a charity dinner with Greg Brown.

I was sitting at a table with him, Michael McHenry, Steve Blass, and some other Pirates legends.

And I should not have been there, but I was invited by the Dean of Communications at my school because he thought it'd be a good opportunity for me.

It's kind of jukebox musical I want to see, I always say, which is kind of like a self-aware jukebox musical.

And it's going to be having a production in Pittsburgh in the fall, Point Park University.

So there's going to be students, which is great because it'll be age appropriate for a lot of the roles.

Yeah.

They're building artists committed to the truth, and through that, looking to revolutionize what performance can be on the stage, screen, and beyond.

And I'm thrilled both of these gentlemen are graduates of Point Park, and they are here in Pittsburgh sticking around, and they have taken on a really huge show, something...

A play called True West.

Gentlemen, good morning.

So, Mark, tell me what's happening.

Yeah, very much so.

Like you mentioned, we are both graduates of Point Park University and Playbox mainly started as an acting ensemble group.

After I graduated, I wanted more training.

As many of us do, we kind of fall into it as a career.

And yeah, I started working at Point Park University in the Conservatory of Performing Arts.

I was the assistant director of admission there, and I helped run recruitment for their dance, theater, and cinema production programs.

And I was there for 10 years, so a very long time.
