PICT performs in the Stephen Foster Memorial building - a City of Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania state Historical Landmark located on Forbes Avenue on the campus of the University of Pittsburgh.
The building houses the Stephen Foster Memorial Museum, the Center for American Music, as well as two theatres: the 478-seat Charity Randall Theatre and 151-seat Henry Heymann Theatre.
PICT is committed to telling the world's greatest stories and to using only the finest actors, directors, and designers in Pittsburgh and across the globe. We also strongly believe that the theatre can play an active role in creating civic dialogue about the issues of our time.
