Pittsburgh CLO strives to create locally produced, professional musical theater—made by Pittsburgh, for Pittsburgh, and in partnership with Pittsburgh—built for all who call this region theirs. 

Pittsburgh CLO is built on a simple belief: musical theatre has the power to bring people together. Every production, every class, every community program we share with the region is rooted in the idea that when more people feel welcome in the story, the story becomes richer for everyone. 

We create work and experiences that reflect the many communities that make this city extraordinary. We strive to ensure that people of all backgrounds, ages, neighborhoods, and experiences see musical theatre as a place where they belong whether they join us in the audience, onstage, backstage, or in our classrooms. 

We promise to create with imagination, integrity, and openness. We invest in artists, teachers, and young people. We collaborate with local partners to expand access to the joy of musical theater. And we honor Pittsburgh’s long tradition of creativity by championing stories that invite connection, celebrate possibility, and speak to the shared spirit of this region. 

We create today with the Pittsburgh of tomorrow in mind—building a vibrant, welcoming cultural home for all who wish to take part. 

Sincerely,
The Pittsburgh CLO
