This one-act play -- a fun and (mostly) historically accurate take on the story of how British General John Forbes and young George Washington named the Pittsburgh region in 1758 -- was produced to kickoff the 2007 annual meeting of the Allegheny Conference on Community Development and the yearlong celebration of the region's 250th anniversary. For more information about the Allegheny Conference, visit http://www.alleghenyconference.org. And for more about Pittsburgh 250, visit http://www.imaginepittsburgh.com.
