Pittsburgh is a city filled with art and culture, especially theater. The Pittsburgh New Works Festival is dedicated to fostering theatrical productions, specifically original one-act plays. During the four weeks of the festival, different theater companies compete while simultaneously pooling resources together to showcase the city’s artistic talent.
You can find both theatrical and musical performances in one place at The Benedum Center for the Performing Arts. Once a deluxe movie palace, the Benedum Center transformed into one of the best auditoriums in the United States. See everything from plays to musicals, ballets, opera, and national bands—every type of entertainment you could possibly want!
Young ones can let their imaginations soar at the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh. Specially designed play areas and galleries provide entertaining, educational fun for kids. Toddlers have their own special area designed to suit their developmental needs. Older children will have a blast exploring the interactive attractions spread throughout the museum.
