The New Hazlett Theater buzzed with excitement at “The Catalyst” on September 24, as guests celebrated the theater’s 20th anniversary. The fun-filled evening offered something for everyone — comedy, music, vocalists, drinks, and delectable food. (J & J Catering).
Many guests, including several Pittsburgh theater stars, twinkled in metallic, sequined, and shiny attire. Among the theater royalty in attendance were: Melissa Cardello-Linton, Monteze Freeland, Patrick Michael Trimm, Milia Ayache, Shaunda Miles McDill, Karla Boos, Claire Drobot, Elizabeth Elias Huffman, Patrick Cannon, Sam Lothard, Dominique Briggs, and several others.
One highlight of the evening was the announcement of the CSA (Community Supported Art) Performance Series’ upcoming season:
Othello of the End Zone (or the Steel City Tragedy) October 22-25
Cosmic Microwave Background November 19-20
Girls March 4-5
The Women Who Lit the Way April 15-16
In addition, a three-part reading series is scheduled:
And a Buoy November 30, 2026
Divas You Don’t Know January 11, 2027
The Perfect American Man April 12, 2027
This festive evening celebrating theater was a true “event” that reaffirmed the importance of the theater arts and the insightful perspective they bring.
