Point Park University is establishing schools of dance and theatre. Up to now both were departments within its Conservatory of Performing Arts. The rationale is growth as the university aims to grow the enrollment and reach of its nationally known conservatory.

Downtown Neighbors Alliance hosted the Developer’s Forum where city leaders shared upcoming improvements to Downtown Pittsburgh. The panel focused on Point Park University’s recent announcement of a new community events center and the future of the city.

The Pittsburgh Playhouse is preparing to welcome the community with its first annual Fall Festival, a lively celebration marking the start of the Autumn season. This exciting event is open to all ages, promising a wide variety of activities, carnival games, and local vendors.

Families can enjoy kid-friendly activities like face painting, while doing arts and crafts. The festival will also be showing a musical parody show: Boo’s Halloween House Party, which is the highlight of the event.
