Here are the Top Five Things to do in Pittsburgh this week (February 12 – 15)
Primed for love
On Valentine’s Day, Prime Stage Theatre has “A night of Love Stories and Songs” in their new studio at 840 Saw Mill Run Blvd., Pittsburgh, PA. Not only will you hear songs and love stories, there’s giving a romantic gift basket for two at the event, so you won’t even have to buy your honey a gift, other than theater tickets. For more information, go to http://primestage.com/shows_and_tickets/2nd_stage.html
Grin and Bare it
Robert Morris University Colonial Theatre presents “Bare: A Pop Opera” a musical about the coming-of-age story of five high school seniors at a Catholic boarding school. Feb. 11 through the 15 at Massey Hall, RMU’s Moon Campus, 6001 University Blvd. Moon Township, PA. For more information, go to http://studentlife.rmu.edu/colonial-theatre
Three-in-One
It’s “(Yet Another) Evening of One Acts” with Stage Right. Three one act plays by local playwrights will be performed at the Boyd Community Center, 1220 Powers Run Road, Pittsburgh, PA. For more information, go to http://www.stagerightboyd.org/
Chaste Around
Moll Yellowhammer loves Torchwood (not the “Doctor Who” spinoff), but sadly, she is engaged to Sir Walter Whorehound in “A Chaste Maid in Cheapside.” I’m going just for the names! It’s a night of romantic intrigues and betrayals at Duquesne University’s Peter Mills Theater (Inside Rockwell Hall), 600 Forbes Avenue, Pittsburgh.

Three Little Maids are We…
If you think Yellowhammer and Whorehound are strange names, meet Yum-Yum and Nanki-Poo. The Pittsburgh Savoyards conclude their 77th season with Gilbert and Sullivan’s “The Mikado.” It happens at the Andrew Carnegie Free Library and Music Hall, 300 Beechwood Avenue, Carnegie.
