New Hazlett Theater, Theater organization in Pittsburgh, United States.
The New Hazlett Theater is a performance venue with around 500 seats located within the Carnegie Free Library of Allegheny building in Pittsburgh. The space hosts concerts, dance performances, and other live events presented by various groups and artists.
The space operated as Pittsburgh Public Theater from 1974 until 1999, when it was renamed and reorganized as the New Hazlett Theater in 2004. This transition reflected a shift in how the venue served the artistic community.
The theater serves as a venue where local and touring artists present their work to audiences. It functions as a gathering space where the community can discover different forms of artistic expression.
The venue is located within a larger library building in central Pittsburgh that is easy to find and access. Groups and individuals can rent the space to host their own performances and events with assistance from the venue's staff.
The building housing the theater is one of the original libraries funded by Andrew Carnegie to serve public communities. When the theater faced closure, community support made renovations possible in the 1960s, helping to preserve this historic structure.
