City Theatre, Theatre and theatrical company in Pittsburgh, United States
City Theatre is a theatre company and venue on Bingham Street in the South Side neighborhood of Pittsburgh, focused on contemporary American plays and new works. The building holds two performance spaces of different sizes, used across a regular season of productions.
City Theatre was founded in 1975 with a focus on new American playwriting, at a time when few regional stages were giving space to emerging voices. Over the decades it has stayed close to that original mission, building a steady following in Pittsburgh.
This theatre serves as a place where Pittsburgh audiences regularly encounter new and experimental work on stage. The venue has become known for bringing productions to the community that push beyond conventional theatre offerings.
This theatre enforces a strict no-late-seating policy, so arriving before the performance starts is essential. Booking in advance is a good idea, as the smaller of the two spaces fills up quickly.
One of the theatre's past productions told the story of the real James Bond, a Dominican agent whose life had nothing to do with the film franchise. That kind of unexpected title is part of what sets this stage apart from more conventional regional theatres.
