September 23 - October 14
Multiple screenings of Dear Evan Hansen, based on the popular Broadway production comes to the newly renovated Harris Theater
The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust is excited to announce the return of programming at The Harris Theater, 809 Liberty Ave, with the three week run of Dear Evan Hansen (Directed by Stephen Chbosky), the highly anticipated film based on the popular Broadway production. The film will run on September 23 through October 14, Monday to Thursday at 8:00 p.m. and Friday to Sunday at 5:30 p.m. and 8:00p.m. For tickets and information, in-person, please visit the Harris Theater box office, call 412-456-6666 or visit TrustArts.org/Film.
Dear Evan Hansen is the breathtaking, generation-defining Broadway phenomenon that now becomes a soaring cinematic event as Tony, Grammy and Emmy Award winner Ben Platt reprises his role as an anxious, isolated high schooler aching for understanding and belonging amid the chaos and cruelty of the social-media age.
“We are excited for the return of programming at the Harris and for our patrons to see the exciting renovations we have made to the historic space,” says Joseph Morrison, Harris Theater Venue Manager. “What better way to welcome back theater goers than with this film!”
Concessions are available for all screenings and the Harris Theater is now BYOB.

The definitive cinema of choice for filmmakers and film lovers alike, the historic Harris Theater is an intimate, single-screen theater dedicated to the art of independent film. With innovative programming that celebrates the diversity of cinematic artistry, the Harris Theater brings the best of independent, international, and documentary films to Liberty Avenue in Pittsburgh’s Cultural District. Originally built in 1931, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust purchased and restored the Harris Theater and its art deco marquee, reopening it to the public in 1995. TrustArts.org/Film
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 maintains a Charity Navigator Four-Star Rating and stands as a national model of urban redevelopment through the arts.
