Every year, we love coming to the holiday pops and any other special events that sound great. We have been coming since Marvin Hamlish was leading the symphony. The symphony is world class and always sounds amazing. The Mendelssohn Choir always puts on a great show too. We also love the guest singers and guest conductors. It was also nice to see the talented members of the Pittsburgh Ballet. Everyone was so talented. Santa always makes it special for the kids. The song a long is our favorite part. The concert puts us in the holiday spirit. We love seeing what who is appearing every season. It's always a fun night out. Everyone at the theater is always very friendly and helpful.

What an awesome organization to have in Pittsburgh! First,…read morethey put on incredible professional shows. They do several a year at the Byham and also have some at their headquarters in the West End. They also have several children's productions every year and while it is obvious physically that they are student performers, the quality is top notch. They also have a wonderful educational component. They offer classes throughout the school year (everything from dance to musical theater and even audition techniques). They offer both evening and weekend class options. PMT also hosts annual summer camps that start fairly young and run through the high school years. One of the great things about their camps is that they are four weeks long (three weeks of a standard camp day, one week of tech week). Many kids need consistency in the summer and this is one of the few summer camp options that offers is. The instructors are all wonderful with the kids and everything is well organized with efficient and plentiful communication. The only slight downside is that parking can be a challenge when attending something at their West End location. There is a municipal lot down the street and plenty of street parking, but you may need to park a few blocks away, so prepare in advance for that. Highly recommend them for taking in a show or participating in their classes or camps!

The acting is top notch! We went to see waitress over the weekend and the show was breathtaking…read more The reason I'm giving it three stars is too full... Even though we were quite early for the show, there was no one around, directing us in terms of where to park and it was quite confusing, being that we had never been there before. We ended up getting very turned around and Wound up 3 miles away from the theater again after passing it... That's our fault, but still better signage would be helpful. The other reason is that, as somebody with a visual impairment, the theater is quite hard to navigate. There is incredibly little space in between each row of seats, and as somebody with a vision impairment, and being plus sized, that can be a very big challenge when it comes to navigating during the appropriate times during our visit. Again, though, those are just our experiences with the venue... This rating does not at all reflect the performance, because it was 10 stars if that is an option! The venue is beautiful and it's definitely a piece of beautiful Pittsburgh history. Just a few touchups could be made! Keep doing amazing things, PMT!

A Local Treasure Worth Every Standing Ovation…read more I've been purchasing tickets for my mother and her friend at The Palace Theatre for the past three years, and I can honestly say this gem in downtown Greensburg is something truly special. The programming has been consistently top-tier, offering a wide range of shows that keep my mother (who sees over 20 shows a year!) thoroughly entertained and engaged. Even more impressive than the lineup, though, is the staff. They remember my mother and treat her like absolute royalty every time she walks through the doors--something that means the world to both of us. If you're not already a member of The Palace Theatre, you need to become one immediately. Membership gives you advance notice of upcoming shows, priority seating, and a feeling of being truly connected to one of the cultural cornerstones of the community. The theatre itself is stunning--elegant, historic, and beautifully maintained. It's a true highlight of downtown Greensburg and a reason to keep coming back again and again. If I had to offer one piece of constructive feedback, it would be to continue expanding and diversifying the programming. My mother does end up seeing some of the same shows year after year. But at 84, I'm just so grateful that she has a place she loves, where she feels seen, welcomed, and genuinely thrilled to attend. Bravo, Palace Theatre--you have our loyalty and our applause!

They keep it up really well and make sure that it is clean for every show. They also keep the chandeliers clean and the paint updated. The ushers are always helpful and the staff at the concessions are nice too. We have seen so many wonderful Broadway Shows and concerts there with so many talented performers. We're so lucky to have such amazing talent and so many amazing shows come to Pittsburgh every year. We're also starting to get some of the most popular and current shows from Broadway. The concerts are so much better there since it's a small venue and most seats are good seats. They have artists from all different genres which is nice too. We have also seen some good comedians there too. If you want to see a good show then you should see it at the Benedum.

They also host special events and educational opportunities (like the annual Shakespeare competition). It is easy to access the theater, and there are a variety of seating options (including two sections of seats at the sides of the stage).

If you have a larger body, it may be a tight squeeze into the seats. This kind of thing is really disappointing in a new(ish) theater.

I first attended this outstanding community theater group in Hickory, PA, when my daughter and…read moreson-in-law performed here earlier this year. More on that later, but let's talk about the group. The Old Schoolhouse Players (OSP) is a community theater group established in 1992 with the primary goal of bringing quality theatrical performances to the Hickory and Washington County areas in Pennsylvania. Over the years, OSP has presented over 100 dramatic and musical productions, enriching the local arts scene and fostering a strong sense of community through a shared love of theater. OSP was formed in 1992 by a group of passionate individuals who wanted to create a platform for local actors, singers, dancers, and theater enthusiasts to come together and showcase their talents. The theater group is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to nurturing the arts within the community and providing opportunities for members to develop their skills and passion for theater. OSP stages their productions in the Bud Allison Auditorium, located within the historically preserved Mount Pleasant Township Community Center at 20 Wasbash Avenue in Hickory, Pennsylvania. This charming venue offers an intimate theater experience for audiences and performers alike, with comfortable seating and excellent acoustics. Restrooms are downstairs, but they do have a handicap-accessible restroom on the first floor on the theater level. Notable Productions: Over the years, the Old Schoolhouse Players have presented a diverse range of theatrical productions, including popular musicals, dramatic plays, and original works. Some notable past productions include "The Sound of Music," "A Christmas Carol," "The Wizard of Oz," and "Our Town," among many others. Each production is carefully selected to appeal to a wide audience and showcase the talents of the theater group's members. I attended several performances here in May of this year, for a great production of Clue. The internationally popular game is a fun-filled musical adaptation that brings the world's best-known suspects to life and invites the audience to help solve the mystery: who killed Mr. Boddy, in what room, and with what weapon. The audience receives forms to help them deduce the solution from clues given throughout the fun-filled evening. Three audience members choose from cards representing the potential murderers, weapons, and rooms; there are 216 possible solutions! Only one hard-nosed female detective is qualified to unravel the merry mayhem. Comic antics, witty lyrics, and a beguiling score carry the investigation from room to room. Even after the culprit confesses, a surprise twist delights the audience. This colorful crowd-pleaser was devised by the authors of Murder at Rutherford House and other popular interactive entertainments. My daughter gave a fabulous portrayal that brought Miss Scarlet to life, creating a multi-dimensional character that was both enigmatic and charming. Catherine's portrayal of Miss Scarlet in Clue was nothing short of extraordinary. Her undeniable talent, beautiful vocals, charisma, and dedication to her craft made her a true force to be reckoned with on stage. She really rocked the blonde look, too! Also performing was my son-in-law, who not only sang but also danced with Catherine, which were my favorite moments. Alan's portrayal of Mr. Green in Clue was nothing short of outstanding. His hard work and passion for theater shone through, as he showcased his undeniable talent, charisma, and commitment to his craft, making for one of my most unforgettable performances that was both dynamic and energetic and lots of fun! Bottom Line: My experience with the Old Schoolhouse Players' production of Clue was truly unforgettable. The outstanding performances by the cast showcased their talent, dedication, and passion for theater. The intimate venue and engaging audience interaction made this theatrical experience even more special. I highly recommend supporting this community theater group, as they continue to enrich the local arts scene with their diverse range of productions. Don't miss out on future opportunities to witness the magic of the Old Schoolhouse Players on stage.
