Throughout the past 12 months, our supporters have given the artists, faculty and staff at Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre a wealth of opportunities to rise to new heights. They began celebrations for their 50th Anniversary , witnessed the growth of its Community Youth Scholarship students, launched a campaign to secure live music for the next 50 years and expanded its Dance for Parkinson’s program to the South Hills, among many other accomplishments. The possibilities for 2020 are endless – but only with you in their corner. Will you help to ensure that Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre reaches more people than ever before? With your gift, they can continue to work their magic on stage, in classrooms, in our local communities and beyond. End the year on a good note by supporting your city’s ballet.

MessFest, Carnegie Science Center’s one-of-a-kind tradition to kick off the New Year, is back! Free with general admission, the 14th annual messy celebration returns on Wed., Jan. 1 and features the slimiest, yuckiest, and gooiest activities for visitors of all ages. From 10 am to 5 pm, visitors get hands-on (literally) with the gooey substance Oobleck, share their creative side with finger painting, and enjoy a pudding “Pi” eating contest. The Egg Drop activity invites visitors to engineer a package for raw eggs that will protect their “egg-stronauts” as the eggs hurtle over a two-story drop. It’s fun for the whole family and, best of all, parents don’t have to clean up after their kids! Visitors are advised: You WILL get messy, so don’t dress up! Along with activity tables, visitors can experience high-energy, grossly entertaining programs in the Science Center’s BodyStage, presented by Allegheny Health Network. MessFest is presented by PPG and sponsored by WISH 99.7. For more inform...

Coming to the Andrew Carnegie Free Library and Music Hall in Carnegie, PA on Saturday January 25th is a unique audio-visual experience with the Kyle Simpson Chamber Orchestra. As a part of the Listen Locally season, the orchestra will present the Pittsburgh premiere of newly composed scores to Georges Méliès’ silent films: A Trip to the Moon (1902) and The Kingdom of the Fairies (1903). Award-winning Pittsburgh composer and international artist, Kyle Simpson D.M.A. and his 17-piece chamber orchestra will perform live with Pittsburgh’s Red Line String Quartet to a screening of Méliès’ two most famous silent films. Méliès’ early twentieth century costumes, sets, and signature optical tricks are crafted together with Simpson’s eclectic compositional style with influences of Debussy, Stravinsky, Steve Reich and a nod to the cinematic sounds of John Williams and Alexandre Desplat. Travel through time with us and rediscover these brilliant films with the uniquely 21st century concept of marr...
