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!

I can only speak to the four year old pre-ballet class, but what a nice addition to the…read moreneighborhood. Out of nowhere my daughter asked to do ballet - I don't think she even knew what it was, but sure why not? A number of our neighbors take their children here and I'd heard positive things, so I signed her up. She LOVES it, and practices her plies all week. She's done gymnastics, martial arts and soccer at the JCC and hasn't taken to anything like she's taken to this. Holly, who teaches the class is just wonderful with the kids. Her teaching is totally appropriate for their level and the class is so much fun to watch. We also met the owner elsewhere in town, and liked her as well - very friendly and warm. The only issue I have is with the online registration, which is confusing, lengthy and frustrating. It's also the only option - you can't sign up on location. There is no confirmation that you are in the class - you just give them your credit card and show up and hope for the best. I would love to see this fixed. I really can't justify docking them a star for this though, because it's just a small detail.

Even though it is a "theater" there is no stage which makes it a versatile space. We were able to set up seating for a panel discussion and guests along with cocktail tables. There was also a great deal of lighting options which can really add ambiance to your event. They also allow you to bring your own food and drinks which is a plus since a lot of venues lock you in to a certain caterer or don't allow outside items. The down side is that if the event is during the day, you need to find on street parking which can be a challenge in Lawrenceville. Overall a great space for a smaller special event.

I saw a cat circus here. It was life changing…read more Does that have anything to do with the Grey Box theater? Probably not. Okay, maybe a little. Well. Maybe a lot considering it was a nice, intimate place to view cats doing amazing things!! I was sitting in the second row on the left side and I still saw everything pretty clearly. As my very smart friend Aja J states, it would have been a bit better of they would have staggered the seats per row, but I still saw just fine. Maybe if I was in the back it would have been worse, considering the last two rows were standing the entire time. I can't blame them. It was exciting and I'd wanna see every second of it from the last row as well as the second. If you're coming here to see any type of show, I'd imagine it would be just as intimate. Would it be as amazing as a cat circus? Probably not. Not until the next time they come into town anyway!
