It’s time to plan your next season of theater-going, and onStage Pittsburgh has just the ticket.

Check out, and check back again and again, as we reveal our 2025-2026 season listings. Our season snapshot by company is gathered via announcements, social media and websites from performing arts organizations across the Greater Pittsburgh.

So far, nearly 60 of the 70 producing and presenting organizations we follow have announced 225 events taking place between September 1, 2026, and August 31, 2027 — and the list keeps growing.

We’d love to hear from you!: If you don’t see an event for a company, that likely means details are still to be announced, and we will continue to update the listings. If you have updates, fixes, or would like to see your live performing arts event included in our calendar and weekly What’s on Stage highlights — drop us a line at info@onstagepittsburgh.com.
