Two University staffers and an alumnus performed in the Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera’s Aida at the Benedum Center, Downtown, July 26-31. Standing in front of the show’s marquee are, from left, Tiffany Robinson, a teacher with Pitt’s Child Development Center; Gwen Watkins (CGS ‘15), the former community activities coordinator for Pitt’s Office of Community and Governmental Relations; and Michelle Denson-Laster, an administrative specialist in the Office of University Communications. The women are members of the Rodman Street Missionary Baptist Church, East Liberty. The CLO invited the church’s choir members to perform nightly in one of the musical’s scenes. (Photo by Nate Guidry)
