🎤 Off the Record XXVI 😆
Byham Theater, Oct 15, 8 pm

OFF THE RECORD celebrates its 26th year of laughter benefiting the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank.

The annual one-night-only original musical lampooning all things Pittsburgh features KDKA Radio’s and Steelers announcer Larry Richert as emcee. Honorees this year are Pittsburgh Walk of Fame founder Nancy Polinsky Johnson and Quantum Theatre founder Karla Boos.

This year’s theme — ONE SINGLE YINZER NATION! — is inspired by “A Chorus Line,” the meta Broadway smash about auditioning for a big show. The OFF THE RECORD twist transforms “What I Did for Love” into what we’d all do for the love of Pittsburgh.

Ticket price includes pre-show free bites and a cash bar in the lobby. Doors open at 6:30 pm.
