Cultural District

The Penn-Liberty corridor has been transformed into the thriving Cultural District, with a variety of theaters that provide entertainment such as the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, the Civic Light Opera, and the Pittsburgh Public theater. Along with shops and restaurants, Heinz Hall, the Benedum, and Byham are all clustered together to give the area its flare. 

Heinz Hall is located at 600 Penn Avenue and is  owned and operated by the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. The hall hosts hundreds of performances every year by the PSO, Broadway shows and other acts such as comedians.

The Benedum is restored to its original form and hosts ballets, operas, and everyone's favorite Broadway shows.

The Byham is one of the homes of the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, which does several things to keep the cultural activities in Pittsburgh alive. The Trust renovated the Benedum and has many programs for out reach and education.
