 Where Pittsburgh's Artists Play

 

Coming to Carnegie Stage

 

WerkHorse Comedy aims to highlight diverse voices and showcase comedic talent in the Pittsburgh area. This show's headliner is Brittany Alexis (Pittsburgh Improv, Arcade Comedy). Brittany Alexis is an up and coming comic in the Pittsburgh comedy scene. She has performed on stages across the city including Burning Bridges Comedy Club, the Improv, Arcade Comedy Theater, and the Byham Theater and has opened for the likes of Franqi French. She began her comedy journey to become a better public speaker but fell in love with the craft.

 

“Cracking Up” - An evening of jokes, Hollywood stories, and behind-the-scenes tales

from some of your favorite (and least favorite!) movies and television shows, starring Emmy Award winner Ed Driscoll

 

For over 25 years, Ed Driscoll has worked with some of the biggest stars in the

entertainment industry. Billy Crystal, Morgan Freeman, Michael Bublé, Justin Timberlake, Dennis Miller, Robin Williams, and Bob Newhart are just a few names from a seemingly endless list. From variety shows, to sitcoms, to movies, to live theater, Driscoll’s been a performer, writer, and producer at the highest levels of his field. Ed’s adventures in Hollywood have equipped him with a vast array of memorable stories. And now, for the first time, he’s ready to share those stories publicly, using his trademark wit, warmth, and impeccable comedic timing.

 

Driscoll is a master storyteller, weaving tales that don’t just make you laugh ---and they

will! --- but stories that take you on a ride, from the ups and downs of life to the highest highs and the lowest lows in the unpredictable world of big-time show business. His show is a master class on the creative process, and the challenges of overcoming obstacles, naysayers, circumstances, and one’s own doubts, in order to achieve success in one’s chosen field.

 

Whether it’s describing the pressures of performing on national television, the intensity

of writing for the Oscars, dealing with critics, or navigating the egos of superstar actors and studio bosses, Driscoll keeps his audience mesmerized throughout the evening.

Two hearts, fifty years, one compelling story.

 

February 12, 13, 14, 19, 20, 21 at 7:30PM and February 15 at 2:00PM.

 

In an era defined by instant communication, Love Letters feels newly resonant. It reminds audiences that saying everything is not the same as choosing someone.

The action will unfold at the intimate Carnegie Stage from February 12-21, 2026. Told entirely through correspondence, the play, follows two people whose relationship unfolds over a lifetime, shaped as much by restraint and timing as by love itself.

 

Tammy Wyatt, a regular on the professional stage, local film and commercials and Zach Wyatt, a theatre graduate who leveraged his acting skills as a CIA officer (now retired), have a personal connection to the play.

“Our relationship started with an exchange of handwritten letters,” said Wyatt. “The play has a message we are delighted to share”.

 

Love Letters is not about falling in love. It’s about what remains after the choices are made and the years accumulate.

 

All tickets are $20

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,...
