Program areas at Pittsburgh CLO

For more than seventy years, the Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera has been providing critically acclaimed theatrical productions to over 200,000 patrons a year. The Pittsburgh Clo's major activity is the production and presentation of a nine week, six production summer season of musicals at the benedum theater in Pittsburgh for the cultural enrichment and enjoyment of its audience and community. Vibrant productions, innovative educational programs and bold new works will continue to define Pittsburgh Clo as a leader in the musical theater industry for years to come.
The cabaret at theater square is a venue for small-scale musicals and provides year-round presence for the Pittsburgh Clo. This 250-seat black box space has given the Pittsburgh Clo the opportunity to cross market its productions, has added a revenue source for the Pittsburgh Clo and has become an economic catalyst for the cultural district and city of Pittsburgh. The cabaret provides more performances per year than any other theater in the cultural district. Since it opened in 2004, more than 440,000 people have been entertained at the Pittsburgh Clo cabaret. In august 2022, the venue closed for renovations, expected to last 1 year. Pittsburgh Clo continues to serve the market during the closure period by offering cabaret-style programming at alternate venues, including the byham theater and point park university spaces.
The Pittsburgh Clo's academy of musical theater trains 500 students ranging from ages five through eighteen in voice, dance and acting. The mission of the academy is to train students according to a high performance standard and to offer students an opportunity to improve their skills and enhance their self confidence whether or not they plan to pursue a career in the performing arts. Throughout its 26-year history, the academy has educated, inspired, and enriched the lives of thousands of students of all ages, abilities, aspirations and circumstances. Also, under the direction of the academy and through partnerships with other organizations in the Pittsburgh area, the Pittsburgh Clo's innovative community outreach programs impact the lives of many under-served populations.clo offers in person and hybrid classes, and continues to add new opportunities to work with broadway professionals virtually and creates digital programming
