PITTSBURGH CLO'S NEW HOLIDAY GIVING GUIDE
PROCEEDS SUPPORT CLO’s EDUCATION & AUDIENCE ENGAGEMENT INITIATIVES
Pittsburgh, PA ∙ December 11, 2020 – Pittsburgh CLO is putting some musical theater joy into the world in a new way this year with their Holiday Giving Guide!
"2020 has been a challenging year for Pittsburgh CLO and all the performing organizations in our city forced to cancel performances because of the pandemic," said Mark Fleischer, Executive Producer. "The vocal support of patrons yearning for live musical theater has kept the CLO board and staff focused on the future. The Holiday Giving Guide is but one way we are striving to keep providing our dedicated patrons some musical theater enjoyment this holiday season as we all hope for a brighter 2021."
Pittsburgh CLO has musical theater ideas for everyone on your list:
THEATERGRAMS: GIVE THE GIFT OF LIVE PERFORMANCE Have you ever wanted to be serenaded by the Phantom of the Opera? How about a special shout-out from the Piragua Guy from IN THE HEIGHTS? What about a belt-y Happy Birthday from our very own Ethel Merman? Pittsburgh CLO TheaterGrams are now available! You can get an exclusive video message from your favorite Pittsburgh CLO performer delivered straight to your phone or email. Not only do TheaterGrams spread cheer to their recipients, they give our Pittsburgh CLO artists a chance to share their talents directly with fans.
When asked why she decided to participate in TheaterGrams, Christine Laitta, veteran CLO Cabaret performer said, "I miss performing so much, and the added bonus is I love that I can help people celebrate family and friends with a gift that will brighten their days over and over."

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.
