Pittsburgh Events Happening February 23-March 1
Disney’s Beauty and the Beast
February 24-March 1, Benedum Center
Be their guest for Disney’s enchanting and timeless tale! Beauty and the Beast returns to North America in its first major production in over 25 years, reimagined with spectacular new sets, dazzling costumes, and the beloved magic of the original. Don’t miss your opportunity to see it right in Pittsburgh alongside the whole family.
All You Need is George
February 24, Carnegie of Homestead Music Hall
So lasting is the influence of the Beatles that many great musicians are happy touring to play tunes by the Fab Four. A roster of virtuosos, led by guitar master Steve Kimock, brings the music of George Harrison — both Beatles-era and songs from his later career — to Munhall. Perfect to attend in anticipation for the future Beatles biopics.
Winter Dance Concert
February 25-March 1, Pittsburgh Playhouse
Don’t let the juxtaposition of the words “winter” and “dance” conjure only visions of The Nutcracker. Point Park’s lauded dance program recently added a hip-hop degree program to its well-established work in ballet, jazz, and contemporary dance. See pieces from all those disciplines performed at the school’s Downtown theater.
Pittsburgh Opera: World Premiere of Time to Act
February 28-March 8, Bitz Opera Factory
A world‑premiere contemporary opera by composer Laura Kaminsky with libretto by Emmy nominee Crystal Manich is a must-see. Set in present‑day America, Time to Act follows high school students preparing a production of Antigone when a new student’s secret—triggered by a school safety drill—reveals profound questions for the rest of the group. A very timely opera for today’s schooling world.

The Aviary’s most popular special event returns!
