Benedum Center for the Performing Arts
The Benedum Center for the Performing Arts, a Pittsburgh Cultural Trust theater, is a focal point of Pittsburgh's Cultural District. The 2,800-seat theater is home to Pittsburgh Cultural Trust presentations including PNC Broadway in Pittsburgh, Dentons Cohen & Grigsby Trust Presents, and First Night Pittsburgh. The Trust also provides priority programming dates on the Benedum stage to Cultural District resident companies including Pittsburgh CLO, Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre, and the Pittsburgh Opera. The venue is also available on a rental basis to promoters and community groups.
Benedum Center Marquee Construction
Please note that scaffolding is currently in place at the Benedum Center’s entrance as restoration work takes place on the theater’s main marquee. It will take more time to enter and exit the theater. We advise to allow for an extra 15 to 20 minutes to arrive and depart.
At this time, passenger vehicle curbside drop-offs are permitted in front of the theater before a show. Post-show passenger vehicle curbside pick-ups are not permitted because of space constraints as theatergoers leave the building. Post-show curbside pick-ups should take place on Penn Avenue, in front of Agnes R. Katz Plaza. Curbside pick-ups for visitors with limited mobility or accessibility needs should take place in front of the Guest Services entrance (pictured below).
Visitors with limited mobility or accessibility needs should plan to be dropped off and picked up in front of the Guest Services entrance, located to the right of the Benedum Center Box Office (pictured below). Those visitors can then enter the theater through the Guest Services doors.
