Embark on a captivating voyage back in time to the era of Titanic, where the poignant stories of real passengers and crew come to life through a meticulously curated collation of authentic artifacts and immersive settings at TITANIC: The Artifact Exhibition.

As you traverse the Exhibition, allow your imagination to transport you to the opulent world of the “Ship of Dreams.” Experience the grandeur through full-scale room re-creations and authentic artifacts that weave the intricate tapestry of the Titanic, as well as the lives of its passengers and crew.

Among these artifacts are a telegraph mechanism, delicate Saalfeld perfume vials and labels, playing cards, exquisite passenger jewelry, and even au gratin dishes discovered in an almost perfect stack amidst the wreck site of this iconic vessel.
Viewed by more than 30 million people worldwide, TITANIC: The Artifact Exhibition is an educational and entertaining experience for all ages. Get tickets to one of the best exhibitions in Pittsburgh – it is only here for a limited time!
“Oneness: Brie Ruais”, the first in Contemporary Craft’s new Tomayko Solo Artist Elevation Series, is a solo exhibition featuring the work of ceramic artist Brie Ruais.
The exhibition is a large survey of work, spanning eight years and exploring the idea that memory, place, and experience are based on an individual's perception and haptic experience.
Each of Ruais' works start with clay equal to Ruais’ body weight at the time. From there, she uses her body as a tool to push and shape the clay into its final form, completing the work in under 15 minutes.
“Oneness: Brie Ruais” is on view Feb. 2 - May 4, 2024. Admission is free.

what did you think you just heard me say?! is a multi-disciplinary dancetheater work created for intimately sized audiences of 50 — up close & very personal. Sitting nearly on stage gives audiences the chance to feel part of the “conversation” rather than just “witnessing” it.
Are the words we hear just interpretations sifted through our personal sieves of experience, culture, gender, language? With humor & poignancy this seasoned group of performers cruise, crash, and glide through the psychological & emotional nooks & crannies of human (mis)communication.
“Wait, that’s not what I said!” “Well… that’s what I heard!”

A Pittsburgh Regional Premiere!
March 14-16 & 21-23, 2024 at 8 p.m.Music by Tom KittBook and Lyrics by Brian Yorkey
With unforgettable songs and a deeply moving story by the Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning creators of Next to Normal, If/Then is a fascinating, ambitious and original new musical. If/Then simultaneously follows one woman's two possible life paths, painting a deeply moving portrait of the lives that we lead, as well as the lives that we might have led.
Elizabeth, a city planner, moves back to New York to restart her life in the city of infinite possibilities. When her carefully designed plans collide with the whims of fate, Elizabeth's life splits into two parallel paths. If/Then follows both stories simultaneously, as this modern woman faces the intersection of choice and chance.
If/Then is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI.
