Pittsburgh Cultural Trust Announces
36th Annual EQT Children’s Theater Festival

The beloved Festival returns to in-person celebration of the arts for the first time in three years
May 14-15, 2022 | Pittsburgh’s Cultural District | TrustArts.org/PGHKids 

The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust is excited to announce that the EQT Children’s Theater Festival will be live and in-person again in 2022. The last in-person Festival took place in 2019, with multiple iterations of the event taking place online to help children connect with the arts throughout the pandemic. Now in its 36th year, this EQT Children’s Theater Festival fosters imagination through high-quality professional theater performances from around the world. This year’s featured arts groups and performers hail from France, South Korea, Switzerland, and the United States. The featured theater performances at this year’s Festival include Starshine, a magical immersive theater piece about the constellations, Flutter, a piece about the seasons for babies and their caregivers, Grimmz Fairy Tales, a hip-hop remix of your favorite fables, Won’Ma Afrika, breathtaking acrobatics and death-defying feats, Doodle POP!, a visual adventure through the ocean, and PSS PSS, a silent physical comedy piece.

“After three years away from the Cultural District, we couldn’t be more excited to present the EQT Children’s Theater Festival live and in-person this year,” shares Pamela Komar, Director of Theater, Music, and Youth Programming for the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust. “Our theater staff, performers, artists, and community organizations have been planning for this event for years now and we have some very special things in store for you.”

The EQT Foundation, which was established by EQT Corporation, the nation’s largest producer of natural gas, returns in 2022 as the Festival’s lead and title underwriter, connecting the Pittsburgh community to international arts, entertainment, and culture. The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust thanks EQT Foundation for their stalwart support, particularly throughout the pandemic and the ever-changing status of the Festival. Through focused giving, the EQT Foundation provides educational opportunities for all ages, values the development of livable communities, and is committed to the preservation of natural resources in our region.

“The EQT Foundation is honored to once again provide underwriting support for the EQT Children’s Theater Festival,” said Ellen Rossi, President, EQT Foundation. “We are so grateful that we can finally gather in the amazing Cultural District theaters and art spaces as we celebrate our region’s rich network of talented artists and welcome international performers to the Festival. This event has become a staple of the springtime in Pittsburgh, and we cannot wait to see you there!”

In addition to the EQT Foundation, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust thanks its sponsors, Giant Eagle, Inc., The Fine Foundation, Highmark Wholecare, the Maranne P. Welch Family Endowment, Allegheny Regional Asset District, The Grable Foundation, and The Buhl Foundation. Special thanks to collaborators Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership, City of Pittsburgh, Citiparks, Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, Alco Parking Corporation, The Milk Shake Factory, PPG, and media partners KDKA-TV, and Kidsburgh.

This adventure to the stars is an intimate theatrical experience for a small group of audience members and their caregivers. It takes place in a smaller, private room within the Byham Theater.

Flutter
Treehouse Shakers

Treehouse Shakers' Flutter, for babies ages 6-18 months and their caregivers, is a stunning new discovery play that introduces the very young to the four seasons.

Flutter explores the seasons through a sensory journey of visuals, sounds, objects, some language, and play. As Flutter begins, caregivers and babies are seated in the round, with the performance in the center.  Original music creates each seasons’ tone, and ambience; music being the first language for the very young mind. Babies and toddlers will have the freedom to crawl, walk, and move within the space, investigate hands-on textures, while experiencing the language, sounds, music, and engaging visuals.

Conceived and written by Mara McEwin, with choreography by Emily Bunning.

Mr. Messado’s School of Magic for the Young and Young at Heart
Liberty Magic / Pittsburgh Cultural Trust

Forget everything you know about magicians pulling rabbits out of top hats. Mr. Messado brings a fresh take on the age-old art of prestidigitation. Mr. Messado’s Magic School for the Young and Young at Heart will have both teens AND adults amazed from start to finish! This 60-minute spectacular, featuring a combination of stunning magic and clean comedy, is full of interactive wonder. Whether it be shouting the magic words from the comfort of your seats or by coming up on stage to be trained as a magical assistant, every member of your party will actively participate throughout the show. Mr. Messado’s story begins on the TV screen of his grandmother’s Philadelphia living room where global stars like Michael Jackson and David Copperfield ignited a love for entertainment and storytelling. In this deeply personal, hilarious and engaging performance you’ll get to know the mister behind the magic, the rabble-rousing raconteur behind the cape, the magic mentor who is Mr. Messado.

This unique family friendly matinee takes place each Sunday at Liberty Magic, our one-of-a-kind intimate speakeasy with only 67 seats in 4 rows, typically reserved only for adults. Mr. Messado’s Magic School for the Young and Young at Heart is recommended for ages 13+. Younger siblings ages 6 years and older are welcome too. No tattletales, snitches, or cheats.

Joshua Messado started Messado Magic over 20 years ago at the Houdini’s magic theatre in Atlantic City, NJ. There he found his passion for performing and discovered the linking rings, which is now his signature effect.  After Houdini’s, he co-owned a magic shop and theatre in Philadelphia, PA for several years. His career in magic led to national and international television appearances as seen on Wizard Wars with Penn and Teller, SyFy Channel (USA), Temple University TV (USA), Illusions of grandeur, OLN (Canada) and recently on Farid Magic 13, Pro7 (Germany). He’s performed at reputable theatres like the Magic Castle in Hollywood, Chicago Magic Lounge, and Monday Night Magic in New York. He is well equipped with stunning sleight of hand with comedic timing to amaze a wide variety of spectators: corporate shows, college market, resorts, celebrities, adults, and children alike. References are ranging from TD Bank, Tropicana Casino to David Copperfield.

FREE VIRTUAL FIELD TRIPS

JazzTime! Musical for Children and Families

Adapted from Stage to Screen for educators and group leaders

Produced by Pittsburgh Cultural Trust with support from PNC Grow Up Great presented in partnership with the EQT Children’s Theater Festival

In this 30-minute production, students will experience the styles and elements of jazz music through a special musical created and performed by local Pittsburgh talents! The show will begin with Grandma Rose as she reminisces about the good old days as a popular vocalist with a band of the finest musicians. After a clumsy fall over the boxes in her attic, Rose awakes to music being played by her old band! Now reunited, they sing the old songs that taught her all about jazz music, exploring tempo, dynamics, melody, improvisation and more. This musical performance adapted for the screen presents children with an introduction to jazz that will be sure to inspire.

BLACK VIOLIN
Violinists Kev Marcus and Wil. B use their unique blend of classical and hip-hop music to overcome stereotypes while encouraging people of all ages, races, and economic backgrounds to join to break down cultural barriers.

The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust has overseen one of Pittsburgh’s most historic transformations: turning a seedy red-light district into a magnet destination for arts lovers, residents, visitors, and business owners. Founded in 1984, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust is a non-profit arts organization whose mission is the cultural and economic revitalization of a 14-block arts and entertainment/residential neighborhood called the Cultural District. The District is one of the country’s largest land masses “curated” by a single nonprofit arts organization. A major catalytic force in the city, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust is a unique model of how public-private partnerships can reinvent a city with authenticity, innovation and creativity. Using the arts as an economic catalyst, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust has holistically created a world-renowned Cultural District that is revitalizing the city, improving the regional economy and enhancing Pittsburgh’s quality of life. Thanks to the support of foundations, corporations, government agencies and thousands of private citizens, the Trust stands as a national model of urban redevelopment through the arts.
