The Season was set to open on June 2nd with the National Tours of THE SPONGEBOB MUSICAL and ONCE ON THIS ISLAND, along with self-produced productions of CABARET, GUYS AND DOLLS, SISTER ACT and A CHORUS LINE. Season ticket holders will be able to transfer tickets to next year’s newly announced 75th Anniversary "Season to Remember." The organization’s 75th Anniversary "Season to Remember" will begin on June 1, 2021, with the National Tour of JERSEY BOYS, followed by five self-produced shows: KINKY BOOTS, A CHORUS LINE, THE DROWSY CHAPERONE (starring fan favorite Clay Aiken), SISTER ACT and a special 50th Anniversary production of GODSPELL. Mr. Kaplan said, "GODSPELL had its world premiere in Pittsburgh at Carnegie Mellon University, and we are proud to be involved in a new production of this show with hometown roots." He continued, "Cancelling our summer musicals was an incredibly painful decision to have to make, and creates a significant financial hardship for our non-profit, which relies on the loyalty of our patrons, supporters and ticket buyers. Which is why we have decided to launch the "Raise the Curtain" Campaign for additional funds to help bridge the time until we can produce our 2021 Season. From all of us at CLO, we ask that you please show your support by subscribing to our 75th celebration of wonderful Broadway musicals. We will take it day by day and with your help, when we emerge we can once again enjoy the art form we have provided in our community for generations. We have so many wonderful memories to come." Pittsburgh CLO patrons who have already purchased 2020 Season Tickets, Gift Certificates, or reserved Group tickets, can visit www.pittsburghclo.org for more information. Our staff are working remotely and while unable to answer calls, will contact current subscribers to explain their options. Patron questions can be emailed to [email protected]. For the latest updates, please visit www.pittsburghclo.org. Since 1946, Pittsburgh CLO has been the driving force behind live musical theater in Pittsburgh and the entire Southwestern Pennsylvania region. Under the direction of Van Kaplan since 1997, this not-for-profit arts organization appreciates the support of nearly 200,000 patrons yearly who attend its performances at three venues in the Cultural District: a seasonal subscription series at the Benedum Center, A Musical Christmas Carol at the Byham Theater and year-round shows at the CLO Cabaret. Its dedication to the musical theater art form includes educational programs such as the CLO Academy for Performance and Art, the Gene Kelly Awards, the Richard Rodgers Award and The National High School Theatre Awards. As part of its new works development, the organization has been involved with 27 Broadway shows (31 Tony Awards®), and in 2014 produced the world premiere of An American in Paris, on Broadway (4 Tony Awards®) and in London’s West End. In addition, Pittsburgh CLO launched the SPARK festival for new small-cast musicals in 2018. For more information please visit pittsburghCLO.org.

  • National Endowment for the Arts Annual Report 1993
    L T 1 TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: It is my special pleasure to transmit herewith the Annual Report of the National Endowment for the Arts for the fiscal year 1993. The National Endowment for the Arts has awarded over 100,000 grants since 1965 for arts projects that touch every community in the Nation. Through its grants to individual artists, the agency has helped to launch and sustain the voice and grace of a generation--such as the brilliance of Rita Dove, now the U.S. Poet Laureate, or the daring of dancer Arthur Mitchell. Through its grants to art organizations, it has helped invigorate community arts centers and museums, preserve our folk heritage, and advance the perform­ ing, literary, and visual arts. Since its inception, the Arts Endowment has believed that all children should have an education in the arts. Over the past few years, the agency has worked hard to include the arts in our national education reform movement. Today, the arts are helping to lead the way in renewing American schools. I have seen first-hand the success story of this small agency. In my home State of Arkansas, the National Endowment for the Arts worked in partnership with the State arts agency and the private sector to bring artists into our schools, to help cities revive downtown centers, and to support opera and jazz, literature and music. All across the United States, the Endowment invests in our cultural institutions and artists. People in communities small and large in every State have greater opportunities to participate and enjoy the arts.

  • Pittsburgh Cultural Trust + Cultural District
    PITTSBURGH REGION Thursday Afternoon Session Pittsburgh Cultural Trust + Cultural District Downtown Pittsburgh’s Cultural District is the heart of the region’s arts and cultural scene, and one of the clearest examples of the quality of life transformation that has taken place over the past several decades. The Cultural District is a 14-square block area in Downtown Pittsburgh with 90 retailers, 50 restaurants, seven theaters, eight public parks, numerous art installations, and a dozen galleries. The area is anchored by a trio of historic theaters – The Benedum Center for the Performing Arts, home of the Pittsburgh Opera, Pittsburgh Ballet Theater, and Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera; Heinz Hall for the Performing Arts, where the world-class Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra performs; and The Byham Theater, the oldest of the trio having been originally constructed in 1903. The story of the Cultural District began in the early 1980s when several visionaries from the business, civic, and foundation communities set out to transform Downtown Pittsburgh and show that investments made in arts and cultural assets can catalyze broader economic development. This group of visionaries, led by H.J. “Jack” Heinz II, grandson of the founder of the iconic Heinz ketchup company, formed the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust. The Cultural Trust is a 501(c)(3) non-profit whose initial goals were to restore downtown’s historic theaters, revitalize other degraded buildings and spaces, and drive overall transformation and development. At the time, the area now called the Cultural District was defined by blight, having fallen into severe decline as a red-light district. The Cultural Trust’s first project was to embark on a $43 million restoration of the Stanley Theater – a movie palace opened in 1928, into the 2,800-seat Benedum Center for the Performing Arts.
