About Kelly Strayhorn Theater
Named after 20th century entertainment legends Gene Kelly and Billy Strayhorn, both natives of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Kelly Strayhorn Theater (KST) is reflective of the passion that its founders had for the arts. Today, Kelly Strayhorn Theater carries on the legacy of its founders by fostering bold and innovative artistry with a global perspective. KST celebrates diversity in voice, thought, and expression, and upholds a firm commitment to inclusion. Furthermore, KST provides a welcome space for dialogue and artistic expression for all who enter. Kelly Strayhorn Theater has a dynamic footprint in Pittsburgh, with two venues running along Penn Avenue. KST’s Alloy Studios is a cultural hub in the heart of East Liberty, and the historic Kelly Strayhorn Theater is located in the thriving business district. More than 20 years after the founding of the theater, KST continues to use its broad reach to impact the contemporary arts and the community. KST is a home for creative experimentation, community dialogue, and collective action rooted in the liberation of Black and queer people.

"Gene's Birthday. Went to watch "An American In Paris" then have complimentary cupcakes to celebrate Gene Kelly's birthday on August 20th (his actual birthday is the 23rd but that was on a Tuesday) and it was great. Quaint little theater, extremely nice employees and an overall fun place to go!"

"Solid Atmosphere. Definitely has an indie/underground feel, making it a pretty cool venue for those type of events. Favorite thing about the Kelly Strayhorn is the atmosphere. Acoustics are notably good also."

"Great venue! I watched a solo performer here and it is definitely great for intimate performances. There are no bad seats and the acoustics are phenomenal as well as the receiving area and easy parking around the venue."
