This has been a great place to explore improv! The classes are typically only 4 weeks long which is…read morehonestly the perfect amount with busy schedules. We are able to learn so much in just 4 weeks and it is such a safe space to practice getting out of one's comfort zone. The instructors are all great! They primarily focus on long form but do also have short form classes too. They periodically host jams and shows as well. Definitely recommend for anyone looking to try out or continue their improv journey! They typically do try it out classes beforehand as well for a low stakes way to see if its something you want to jump into!

I loved it here and will definitely be back. It is fun, crafty, and a great evening of inexpensive…read moreentertainment. The improv actors are very skilled, and they seem to offer something different nearly every single weekend. The theater has a fun, indie feel to it. I have enjoyed this type of improv in many cities where I have lived and am glad to have something of this nature here in PGH.

They offer many different types of classes in the upstairs rehearsal studio, and the summer artist lunches/dinners for artists in residency are great! Head on over for a poetry slam, open mic, or dance piece. It's a great time!!

Prices are reasonable with credit per play or pay per hour on Tuesdays. Warning: Kind of in a weird spot that's hard to see from the road and up a few flights of stairs, also if you're looking for non rhythm arcade games this isn't the place.

Jason and Nina Sauer are amazing and this place fantastic. Been coming here since it's inception…read moreand love stopping in during Unblurred for live music, art exhibits and more. Turning demo cars into works of art=genius. Sad that they're moving from Penn Ave but even happier they are staying in Garfield and expanding into a museum. I love the wood, brick and metal of the current location as well and can't wait for the museum. Most Wanted is an Unblurred legend.

They regularly participate in the Unblurred First Friday gallery crawls that happen on the first Friday of each month, but are also able to be rented out for private events. The gallery itself is quite a nice space: shiny hardwood floors, the ability to open up the front in nice weather, and an exposed brick wall. They also have a little stage area for live music. The quality of the art they bring in is consistenly quite good as well, and especially on First Friday, you have a good chance of meeting and getting to chat with the artist(s). On First Fridays, they sometimes offer wine tasting from Wilhelm Winery (or have other free booze) and usually have a good sampling of snack-upons.

10 Out Of 12 equaled almost zero for our foursome. The performance started with a house that was…read morealmost full. More than half had left during the intermission. It wasn't the actors fault. The idea seemed to be a winner but the story line was a complete failure. I felt sorry for the cast. It has to hurt to see the empty seats that had been filled when they started. Hope Quantum has some winners coming up. Will take some successes to get tonight's audience back.

Quantum Theatre is unique. Each performance is like a contemporary art installation. They find…read moreunique locations around the Pittsburgh area that help tell their story. I've seen their productions in warehouses, parks, historic buildings, all very creative spaces. Their sold out performances of TAMARA at Rodef Shalom were an expression of immersive theater: you followed characters around the entire building, then dined with your friends at intermission to piece together the different parts of the story. They restaged/transformed Emile Zola's classic play "Therese Raquin" in Braddock Carnegie Library's drained swimming pool. Always thought provoking, inspiring, often rollicking, and playful, this is theater with an edge. I have seen more than 25 of their productions, they have all been memorable and experiential.

Amazing space that makes a mean cocktail...or two or ten. Most are only 8 bucks! Everyone is welcome here! Well, you know, unless you're phobic or racist. They have drag shows (the bomb), deejays, dance nights, etc. The decor is so beyond Pittsburgh and I'm happy they're in my old neighborhood (adjacent). I can't say enough things about this bar. Everyone who works here is so sweet and fun. Bathrooms rule! Mary's RULES!!!
