Celebrate the First Day of Summer at Pittsburgh’s Most-Visited Museum

 

Make a splash this summer at Carnegie Science Center! On Sat., June 21, the Science Center invites families, friends, and fun-seekers of all ages to celebrate the first official day of summer with a jam-packed day of hands-on science, outdoor excitement, and riverfront activities at Summer Splash, presented by ALCOSAN.
 
From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., dive into a full day of sunny science fun:

  • Get moving with outdoor games, giant bubbles, and a summer-themed photo scavenger hunt.
  • Chill out by building a mini snowman – yes, even on the first day of summer!
  • Explore the science of water and learn how ALCOSAN keeps our rivers clean and healthy.
  • Meet our local aquatic neighbors – fish, amphibians, and reptiles that call our rivers home.
  • Step aboard history with a tour of the USS Requin (SS 481) – a real Cold War-era submarine.
  • Discover innovative green infrastructure in our interactive rain garden.
  • Soak up the Sun and take in the stunning views of Pittsburgh’s iconic three rivers from the RiverView Terrace.

All activities are included with general admission to the Science Center, making it the perfect way to kick off the summer season with curiosity and cool science fun.
 
ALCOSAN, a longtime partner in science education and sustainability, will be on-site throughout the day with engaging activities that connect the dots between clean water, environmental responsibility, and everyday life.
 
“Summer Splash is more than a celebration of the new season — it’s a hands-on opportunity for families to explore the science that shapes our rivers, our environment, and our everyday lives,” said ALCOSAN Executive Director Arletta Scott Williams. “We’re proud to partner with Carnegie Science Center to highlight the vital role we all play in protecting our waterways.”

Sanctified Explores Through Music How Diverse Attitudes are Transformed into an Inspired Unity

  Marissa Lily, Mils James, Manny Walker, Emir Hardy, Chuck Timbers, Cheryl El Walker, Katy Cotten & Brenda Marks Set by Mark Clayton Southers Credit all Photos: Kim El One of the many things live theater does well is taking its audience to different places, times and moods through the power of story-telling. While this is a fairly obvious observation, this thought became especially poignant when, over a period of less than 24 hours, when I found myself on board a battleship in late 18 th century Portsmouth, England, then, 17 hours later, walking into a small Black church in rural South Carolina in the present day. The vehicles for this geographic time travel to places and times worlds apart were Gilbert and Sullivan’s comic opera, “H.M. S. Pinafore” and playwright Javon Johnson’s “Sanctified.” Both works, while musical comedies with morals to the story, came from diverse and rich cultural backgrounds. I’ve already published my review of Pinafore on my arts and enterta...

Mon Valley Fans of Live Theater Get a Sumptuous Taste of Future Possibilities

The Cast of "What Do I Wear, 2,500 Tears of Fashion in Theatre" Credit all Photos: Kelly Tunney     The Mon Valley YMCA in Monongahela never looked so festive, so blatantly celebratory, as on the evening of April 13 when a troupe of 16 actors arrived with a trailer full of colorful costumes, many of which were quite elaborate.     The audience barely understood the full depth of the dazzle that awaited them as they took their seats for an event exuberantly titled “What Do I Wear, 2,5000 Years of Fashion in Theatre.”     The fundraiser for Pittsburgh International Classic Theatre was the brainchild of PICT’s artistic director, Elizabeth Elias Huffman. Elizabeth Huffman at the Podium     Huffman conceived of an idea that called for choosing selections from plays that started with the era of the ancient Greeks, marched on through Elizabethan England and Shakespeare, popped in on Restoration England via an American playwright,...
