GREAT NEWS OUT OF CARNEGIE!
Claire DeMarco has put her money where her theater dreams are, and partnered with theater artist and administrator Erika Cuenca to save Carnegie Stage, that vital black box at 25 W. Main Street in Carnegie.
“My hope,” DeMarco said, “is that it will remain a theater forever.”

What Pittsburgh International Classic Theatre will be reading in May:
May 16-17: A fundraiser and staged reading of “A Winter’s Tale.”
May 19, 21, 23 & 24: 4th annual Bards From the Burgh.
In PICT’s “The Smuggler,” a solo show by Ronán Noone about the underbelly of immigration, Michael Patrick Trimm’s Tim Finnegan gives off a pirate-like energy, in a fast-paced and energetic performance — Trimm won’t let you take your eyes off him for a second.
The Smuggler – a one-man thriller in rhythmic verse – is finally ready for its closeup. Pittsburgh International Classic Theatre first announced Michael Patrick Trimm in the role of bartender/smuggler/immigrant Tim Finnegan for March of last year, working with director Patrick Cannon and expected at Riley’s Pour House in Carnegie. Fate and fire intervened, and Riley’s burned to the ground in November 2024. Starting March 13, 2026, Trimm is now ready to get fully under the skin of Finnegan, with a new director (Melissa Grande) and a new venue (Carnegie Stage), after more than a year of stop-and-start preparation.
Opening this Valentine’s Day weekend, Tammy and Zachary Wyatt will be onstage, together, for the first time, reading “Love Letters,” an enduring play told entirely through correspondence. It is reminiscent of their own love story, which began with handwritten letters, before the retired CIA agent and actress met in person.
Some things are such crowd-pleasers, they bear repeating. Even within the packed realm of Christmas-time theater, that holds true for Kinetic Theatre’s finely tuned, atmospheric production of “A Sherlock Carol.” Introduced last year at the Stephen Foster Memorial, the show this season travels from Oakland to Carnegie Stage, and, if anything, gains in connectivity between cast and audience in the intimate space.
Here’s what’s on stage in Pittsburgh this week and through the end of October, gathered for you by OnStage Pittsburgh. We do our best to capture as many performances as possible, but there’s always more to discover! For a full… Read More ›
