EQT Children’s Theater Festival Assets

Pittsburgh Cultural Trust Announces Tickets On Sale Now,
34th Annual EQT Children’s Theater Festival, May 14-17, 2020
International theater, interactive Polish art installation, free activities, and more!
Thursday 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., Friday-Sunday 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. | Pittsburgh’s Cultural District
 
The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust is pleased to announce that tickets are on sale for the 2020 EQT Children’s Theater Festival. Now in its 34th year, this Festival fosters imagination through high-quality professional theater performances from around the world, including performers from Australia, Japan, Scotland, South Korea, United Kingdom, and the United States. Highlights of the 2020 Festival include six featured performances, over fifty free hands-on activities and experiences, and The Way of Color, an interactive art installation composed of colorful rainbow sand. The festival experience is tailored to children of all ages and includes sensory-friendly performances of Doodle POP! and Dan + Claudia Zanes. Each year’s festival footprint in downtown Pittsburgh’s Cultural District includes new and different spaces. This year, the Festival adds the Pittsburgh Playhouse, an entertainment and performing arts center located on the campus of Point Park University that reopened in the Fall of 2018 in a new, award-winning 90,411 square-foot facility that features three main Theater spaces. The 550-seat PNC Theatre whose backstage and inner workings are visible from the street, the 200-seat Highmark Theatre, and the 99-seat Rauh Theatre.
 
“This edition of the EQT Children’s Theater Festival offers performances for everyone, ages 0 through adult,” says Pamela Komar, Director of Theater, Music, and Youth Programming for the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust. “Audiences will discover adventurous shows that include music, humor, puppetry, storytelling, interactivity, imagination, wonder, and so many “aha” moments. The Festival is a terrific way to inspire family time away from our individual screens. I am also happy to announce the return of South Korea’s Brush Theatre to Pittsburgh with Doodle POP. The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust was the first to bring this artist collective to the United States back in 2008. Being able to premiere shows of this caliber during the EQT Children’s Theater Festival every year is not only a great opportunity for the artists but the Pittsburgh arts community.”
 
The EQT Foundation, which was established by EQT Corporation, one of the nation’s largest producers of natural gas, returns in 2020 for a seventh year as the Festival’s lead and title underwriter, connecting the Pittsburgh community to international arts, entertainment, and culture. 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. Established in 2003, the EQT Foundation prides itself on being a responsible corporate citizen and invests in programs that promote an understanding of culture and heritage.
 
"The EQT Foundation is honored to once again provide underwriting support for the EQT Children’s Theater Festival, an exceptional event that brings top-rated performing and visual artists from around the globe to our beautiful city for audiences to witness first-hand,” said Ellen Rossi, Manager of the EQT Foundation. “We’re proud to be a part of a festival that can help bring arts to life for so many children and families in our region. As we do every year, we look forward to the weekend and the liveliness it brings to the already thriving Cultural District." 
 
In addition to the EQT Foundation, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust thanks its sponsors Allegheny Regional Asset District, The Buhl Foundation, The Children’s Institute of Pittsburgh,  The Fine Foundation, Gateway Health,  Giant Eagle, Inc.,  The Grable Foundation, the Maranne P. Welch Family Endowment, The Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, UPMC, and UPMC Health Plan. Special thanks to collaborators Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership, City of Pittsburgh, Citiparks, Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, and Alco Parking Corporation, and media partners KDKA-TV and Kidsburgh.

Finale of the 2019-2020 EQT Bridge Theater Season
Emil and the Detectives by Slingsby Theatre Company | Australia
Age Recommendation: Ages 7+
Festival Location: Pittsburgh Playhouse

Never underestimate the determination of a child! Kästner’s 1929 novella broke ground for the independent-children-versus-devious-adults story genre. Young Emil catches a train to visit family in the big city. Something valuable is stolen, but the thief soon discovers Emil was not such an easy target. A group of quick-thinking and resourceful children rallies. Can a bunch of kids work together to uncover and outsmart the true criminal? Streetwise city kids, a hard-working single mother, and Emil’s past brush with the law add grit and nuance to this satisfying tale. In Slingsby’s signature intimate theatrical style, Emil and The Detectives is told by two skilled actors immersed in smoke and mirrors, miniature worlds, and a cinematic score. The show will also feature local actors from Pittsburgh in pre-show activities and interactions with the audience throughout the show!
70 minutes, plus a pre-show engagement activity beginning 15 minutes before the scheduled show time


Origami Tales by Kuniko Theater | Japan/United States
Age Recommendation: 4+
Festival Location: Trust Arts Education Center

Welcome to the infinite world of Origami! In Japanese, ori- means "to fold" and -gami means "paper". Using origami, music and audience participation, storyteller Kuniko Yamamoto provides a magical entry into Japanese culture. In her show Origami Tales, mythological character masks and puppets, amazing flowers and a dragon – all made from origami – set the stage while Kuniko shares heartfelt stories from ancient Japan. Expect boundless imagination out of simple paper folding and an uplifting world of storytelling.
45 minutes
 
White by Catherine Wheels Theatre Company Theater | Scotland
Age Recommendation: Ages 2-4
Festival Location: Pittsburgh Playhouse

Welcome to the world of White. Full of birdsong and birdhouses, it gleams, dazzles, and shines in the night. Two friends look after the birdhouses and make sure the eggs stay safe. The world is bright, ordered, and white. But high up in the trees, all is not white. Color appears. First red… then yellow… then blue… White is a playful, highly visual show for very young children and is a perfect first-time theater experience.
45 minutes


Dan + Claudia Zanes| United States
Age Recommendation: 4+
Festival Location: Byham Theater

Grammy Award winner Dan Zanes and Haitian-American jazz vocalist Claudia Eliaza perform folk and blues classics from their popular new songbook entitled Dan Zanes’ House Party!: A Family Roots Music Treasury.

All performances of the show are sensory-friendly and supported by The Children’s Institute of Pittsburgh.
45 minutes
 
Nest by Akin Theatre Company | United Kingdom
Age Recommendation: 0-14 months
Festival Location: Trust Arts Education Center

A stunning sensory performance for babies (0-14 months), their parents, and caretakers. Unfolding in a custom-built performance tent, Nest takes audiences on a journey through the seasons. It uses playful poetry supported by an original score, movement, puppetry, tactile play and complete engagement of the senses to awaken every baby’s curiosity and remind grownups of the wonder of being in the world for the first time. Gentle, surprising and magical, Nest leaves audience members “enchanted” and with “a sense of wonder and excitement.”

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. TrustArts.org | @CulturalTrust on Facebook · Instagram · Twitter

The award-winning Pittsburgh Playhouse at Point Park University, reopened in the Fall of 2018 in a new, award-winning 90,411 square-foot center for arts and entertainment that serves as an artistic laboratory for the prestigious Conservatory of Performing Arts (COPA) and downtown Pittsburgh’s newest home for arts and entertainment. The Playhouse is comprised of professional, artist educators dedicated to an approach to training that enables students to pursue careers as professionals. COPA includes Departments of Theatre, Dance, and Cinema. The four-story, state of the art facility, located in Downtown Pittsburgh at 350 Forbes Avenue, features the 550-seat PNC Theatre whose backstage and inner workings are visible from the street, resulting in an intentional glimpse into performing arts classes; the 200-seat Highmark Theatre; and the 99-seat Rauh Theatre. The new Pittsburgh Playhouse was designed to be both a learning laboratory for all Point Park students and cultural asset for the community.
