I used to regularly attend City Theatre performance but reduced my support over the past few years…read more I won't be going back to any performances at City Theatre until there is a major change in leadership. I saw Hedwig at Greer Cabaret Theatre on Sunday. They changed the script to include Pittsburgh references but decided to leave in the line "and the colored girls sing..." in reference to Lou Reed's song Walk on the Wild Side. There were millions of other lines they could have chosen to reference Rock N Roll culture. Why choose this line? Why have white actors say that line? Regardless of who Lou Reed was referencing in the song, describing people as "colored" has a very specific meaning in the context of the United States history. Furthermore, he has omitted the word "colored" from the song and has other questionable songs in regards to race. City Theatre is comprised of a predominantly white board, white staff, and this show was primarily white actors with a largely white audience. I reached out on Sunday and asked for them to refund my tickets. I have not heard back from them.

The building is the former home of The Tree of Life Synagogue that was converted to have stages and meeting rooms. The only thing missing is parking, as it typical Pittsburgh this address relies mainly on street side parking with only a dozen or so off street options. They are supported by patrons, subscribers and individuals in the community and with lots of passionate volunteers so like many other community theaters they don't have big budgets but they elaborate productions but thanks to the efforts of many they put together some very entertaining shows. A fun theater with really good seats from all around. I like the smell of fresh hot popcorn when you walk through the front doors.There's good restrooms on the second floor with a water fountain as well as a number of large round tables with chairs for functions, gatherings or parties. There's a small office and am area with a piano and comfy couches & chairs for lounging or waiting and enough extra room for lots of potential other uses. Downstairs there's several seating areas for waiting and even another piano and you can bottled waters and other soft drink choices at the concession. There's no hot food but mostly nuts, candy bars and of course there's fresh popped theater popcorn. (there's a large coveted porch out from with ledges for sitting & smokers congregated here during intermission) We seamlessly purchased our tickets online and the box office found us on the list right away. She showed us a chart of where are seats are and gave us good information about the theater and how to find everything. (I hear that she will be in November's upcoming production of "and the winner is") My daughter is Lucy and is performing "You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown" My sweetheart and I have traveled from New Orleans on the train for this big event . We sat in the second row on the isle for two nights and in the front row for the Sunday and final performance, but every seat has an nice unobstructed view. You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown was a delightful production of the Broadway musical with a very talented cast of five. The music was performed by several very good musicians on piano, drums, bass and woodwinds that perfectly supported the musical numbers and accented much if the play throughout. There was lots of laughs and claps throughout and even awes when the lights come up with Lucy sitting behind her iconic psychiatrist's booth and starry eyed youngsters when Snoopy appears on his so with camel. I was very impressed with the level of talent, production and dedication by all that pulled together an excellent presentation of this classic work. I have watched the original and later animated versions that were inspired by the play and I have also viewed scenes from the hit Broadway musical and I think the show that I just saw live (3) consecutive days was my favorite. I might be a little biased but I sincerely & absolutely adored this production at Mckeesport Little Theater and I have seen all the hard work & dedication that goes into a production like this from some very dedicated and hard working folks and I highly recommend supporting them!

Bravo to the little theater that could as they celebrate their 56th season!…read more The road to number 56 has not always been a smooth one, but thanks to dedicated leadership, relentless volunteers, and talented performers, McKeesport Little Theater lives on. Their small beginnings in 1960 led them to purchasing a church in 1963 which was then transformed into a viable playhouse setting. After 10 seasons, a fire totally destroyed the theater mid-productions. Performances continued at various community locations up until 1974, when a former synagogue was purchased by the group. Major levels of fundraising transformed this synagogue into the intimate neighborhood theater it is today. I have seen several performances here, and always look forward to each seasons productions. McKeesport Little Theater offers live entertainment for both young and old.

It makes me so proud to see the talent in this city whenever I attend one of their shows. I guarantee you that if you check back each season you'll find at least one show to enjoy. Every year their line-up changes and it always features an incredible variety of shows. I've seen a classics such as "Antony and Cleopatra" to the interesting (but potentially uncomfortable) "In the Next Room (or The Vibrator Play)." My outright favorite evening with PICT was during a premiere of a play named "Our Class," which was an incredibly shocking but important play about, sadly, real events: a WWII mass murder of the Jewish community living in a town in Poland. No one wanted to speak during or after that show, and the actors handled the roles and portrayal of both inhumane actions and traumatic events incredibly and impressively well. Kudos to them and all of PICT for tackling such an imposing but important project. I have plans to see at least one more if not two more PICT performances this year; not once have they disappointed me, and their contributions to the theater scene in this city are always outstanding. Thank you, PICT!
