PICT Performance of "St. Nicholas"

I received a ticket to the Pittsburgh Irish and Classical Theatre for a performance titled "St. Nicholas". It was not related to Christmas, but was a single actor performance in the form of a story - about Vampires. The actor sat with what appeared to be a pint of Guinness Beer and told a vampire story to the audience. It lasted about 90 minutes with no break and was very entertaining. The venue was in the Stephen Foster Memorial, an old Gothic style church on the site of the Cathedral of Learning in Oakland. The PICT was named Theatre of the Year-in both 2004 and 2006 by the critics of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
