The Pittsburgh Playhouse
The beloved STARMAKERS Gala has returned to Pittsburgh!
In just a few weeks, you can experience a stellar evening of performance, entertainment, and culinary delights at the Pittsburgh Playhouse at Point Park University, in the heart of Downtown Pittsburgh. Around every corner, surprises await as live performances, interactive experiences and exclusive previews bring the Pittsburgh Playhouse to life like never before. On this special night, we will honor 90 years of the Pittsburgh Playhouse’s rich history while envisioning an exciting future of creativity with rising talent from Point Park University's Conservatory of Performing Arts.
Special guests and nationally-renowned artists will take the stage for an unforgettable night of artistry and festivity. Guests will get an exclusive first look at ASCEND, along with an exciting preview of the 2025/2026 Season. Throughout the evening, guests can take part in a silent auction featuring special items and experiences and enjoy dinner on the stage of the PNC Theatre. And no Pittsburgh celebration is complete without dancing and dessert, and STARMAKERS will boast the city’s largest Cookie Table!
