About New Hazlett Theater

New Hazlett Theater’s mission is to create dynamic art through innovation and collaboration. It provides vital resources to creators from diverse backgrounds to enrich the cultural community.

To nurture the arts, the theater’s staff takes time almost every day to meet with the people who make it. From the moment artists walk through its doors, they are welcomed with a clear message: New Hazlett Theater is there to help them create.

Programs & Impact

Through Community Supported Art (CSA), local emerging artists develop and present original work with professional production support, individualized mentorship, and connecting with audiences. The Resident Company program provides local arts organizations with affordable access to a professional performance space and technical expertise, helping them sustain their programming and reach audiences. ForgeWorks supports the development of new work, giving Pittsburgh audiences opportunities to see new shows here first. StageCraft, its workforce development initiative, creates a pathway for aspiring technical professionals through hands-on training and experience. Together, these programs create opportunities across Pittsburgh’s performing arts community.
