This time was even harder, but not because of a lack of talent on the stage! Each performer who auditioned brought their energy and passion to the moves, song, and cold read. It was thrilling to be able to make music again on the stage with others! Thank you to all who auditioned. You made a part of my soul become more healed — "I'm Alive!" — MJ Harper, Director  Dear PCT Friends,
We’ve been wrestling with what to do about our 2020 season — a season we had looked forward to with great enthusiasm for the diversity we believed it would offer performers, crews, and our audiences. As you know, the landscape of our world has changed weekly, and sometimes daily, during the pandemic, and we were reluctant to make a final decision too soon. The safety of the many lives we impact, from those on stage, to those working behind the scenes, to the audiences who attend our shows, is a priority. Taking into consideration that our home, Memorial Auditorium, will be closed through the end of July, and that even then, health officials cautioned it might be too soon for large gatherings of people, we are canceling our entire 2020 season. We’re also canceling our annual Jr. Starz Children’s Theatre Workshop, which was planned for June — perhaps one of our greatest disappointments, as we know how much area youth look forward to it and gain from it. We are grateful for the financial contributions made by our members and underwriters this season. In coming days, we will be contacting each of you. We hope to remain as connected as ever through social media with features such as Throwback Thursdays that showcase past productions, as well as links to online entertainment to enjoy this summer. As always, we appreciate your support and enthusiasm for live theatre! We’ll keep our sights set on 2021 with the hope that once again, the curtain will go up and the magic will happen on our stage. — PCT Board of Directors Pittsburg Community Theatre will make a decision on May 11 regarding the future of its season. Those decisions will include the spring musical, Xanadu, originally planned for April 2-5; Jr. Starz children's summer theater workshop, originally planned for June; and auditions for the summer musical, Matilda, originally planned for May 18-19 with performance dates of July 23-26.
 Dear Patrons,
This is typically when we open registrations for our popular summertime children’s theater workshop, Jr. Starz, which is held each June at Memorial Auditorium and Convention Center. In compliance with the statewide and countywide stay-at-home order, Memorial Auditorium continues to be closed to the public and will be for at least the next few weeks. Because the future is so uncertain, we are postponing registration for this summer's Jr. Starz workshop, "BOTS! A New Children's Musical" by Beat by Beat, until our board meets to make a decision on when registration shall open and when the workshop shall be held. Sadly, we aren’t alone; as you’ve no doubt begun to see, many organizations large and small have postponed, canceled, or rescheduled summertime events. Please continue to follow us on social media and check our website at www.pctinfo.org for the most current information. We appreciate your flexibility and understanding as we make decisions to ensure the health and safety of our audiences, cast, crew, and staff and in this case, children. Thanks for your support of the arts! Dear Patrons,
Based upon recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to prevent the spread of COVID-19, commonly referred to as coronavirus, the City of Pittsburg today announced the closure of Memorial Auditorium and Convention Center through March 30. In light of this, we are halting ticket sales for our production of “Xanadu,” originally set to open April 2 and run through April 5 at Memorial Auditorium. To our ticket buyers, show program advertisers, and PCT members: We will be having discussions with Memorial staff and Music Theatre International in hopes of rescheduling this production if possible. We will be reaching out to those of you for whom we have an email in coming days. If you purchased tickets without using an email address, please call our box office at 620-231-7827. We appreciate your flexibility and understanding as we make decisions to ensure the health and safety of our audiences, cast, crew, and staff. For continued updates, please visit our website at www.pctinfo.org. Thanks for your support of the arts! Congrats to the following:
