The next time I come to a show here I'll be sure to plan dinner and a drink at 131 East before or after ! So glad I got to experience this local performance stage !

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 had been a cloudy blustery day in the grand Steel city. A day intended for hot toddy's, horror…read moremovies, and "grown up" cider. That can only mean as the sun sunk low beyond the horizon it was time to choose a haunted house. Pittsburgh is not lacking for choices when it comes to ways to scare yourself at night. (I'm not even talking about the parade of horrors on the Southside or the underage drunk college kids screaming in Oakland.) In all the options my group of four decided to try a haunted house that was brand new. I realize that this can mean a subpar haunt, but I'm willing to chance it. Parking in the Strip District on the weekend is still dicey, (I don't know why I thought that dropped off in the 90's, maybe because I haven't hung out down there since the 90's.) but even with a larger vehicle we found a spot. There is absolutely no line outside, like with other haunted houses. Just a sandwich board type sign, an attendant, and a police officer (which was a surprise). The attendant instructed us in a very non-spooky way to just head down the steps. Once downstairs, the lights are low and a greenish blue color, the air somewhat fog-smokey. Tickets were 17$ a person which seems to be standard fare for a haunted house general admission. Inside the building we found the queue. Pallets nailed together to look like the sorts of passageways cattle are lead through in a slaughter house. They had a small flat screen television playing the remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre. A few actors came out to interact with the crowd, one was great and doing just the sorts of things that key up an audience the other just sort of stood behind you and most of the time he moved on before you even knew he had been there. The woman who ran down the rules didn't stay in character very well, and this was a theme throughout the attraction. They do have a nice large space, some of the rooms are huge and sprawling with some really interesting pieces like old grocery store equipment, cases for meat, etc. There is even a school bus inside this basement haunted house. It has potential. That's the only real compliment I have for them. It's not there yet. If they can maintain this space all year, work on the look of each room, fine tune it from kitschy to horrific, hire more actors, and talk to them about focus and the theme of their character it could become another one of Pittsburgh's great haunted houses. For now though, it's just some stumbling, some incredibly awkward talk about every girl being a "nice piece of meat that (I) can't wait to eat," a few startling scares, and at least one if not two juggalos.
