Don’t miss Pitt Stages’ 2025-26 season

Pitt Stages has announced its 2025-26 season, which features six bold and compelling stories centered on the year’s theme: Transformations.

The mix of mainstage productions and student-produced one-act plays will consist of classical reinterpretations, dark comedies and other productions that celebrate change in its many forms — personal, physical, societal and fantastical.

The Department of Theatre Arts welcomes all students across the University, regardless of major, to perform onstage or participate in the production team for Pitt Stages shows. Auditions for this year’s season will take place on Aug. 28 and 29.

Tickets will be available soon; keep scrolling to see the full lineup. And visit Pitt’s Department of Theatre Arts for more events.
