30 Year Anniversary

Celebrating 30 Years of Professional Theatre in Pittsburgh

For three decades, Pittsburgh International Classic Theatre has kept the flame of professional live storytelling burning bright in Western Pennsylvania. From our very first curtain call to the thrilling run of Refugee Rhapsody, your passion and patronage have made our stage a vital cultural home.

PICT Classic Theatre was founded as Pittsburgh Irish and Classical Theatre, Inc., in 1996. It was founded in reaction to the closing of the Three Rivers Shakespeare Festival and in order to provide a venue for local artists to perform classical works, a mission that has stayed constant throughout the years.

Pittsburgh International Classic Theatre (PICT) is a professional theatre company dedicated to bringing classic and contemporary plays to life through engaging, high-quality performances. Based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the theatre showcases timeless works by renowned playwrights while offering audiences fresh perspectives on stories that explore the human experience. Through talented actors, creative productions, and a commitment to artistic excellence, PICT celebrates the power of live theatre to educate, inspire, and entertain. Its mission is to make meaningful theatrical experiences accessible to the community while preserving and sharing the rich tradition of classic theatre.

We are an internationally recognized, 501c (3) non-profit theatre company committed presenting the highest quality productions for the widest audience. Our productions feature innovative, minimalist design, and examine current social issues through the lens of classic text. With over 111 productions in 30-year history, PICT continues to bring beloved works to the stage to approximately 6,000 patrons.

Mission Statement:

PICT Classic Theatre’s mission is to engage with, entertain, and serve the Pittsburgh community by examining current social issues through the lens of classic and international text.
