Stage 62 presents RENT
2024-07-25 20:00 - 2024-07-28 14:00 (America/New_York)
July 18-21 & 25-28Thursdays – Saturdays at 8:00 PM | Sundays at 2:00 PM

La Vie Boheme! Jonathan Larson’s iconic Pulitzer Prize-winning musical that shaped a generation of audiences and taught us all to measure our life in love. Set in the East Village of New York City, Rent is about falling in love, finding your voice, and living for today. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Rent has become a pop cultural phenomenon with songs that rock and a story that resonates with audiences of all ages.

Based loosely on Puccini’s La Boheme, Jonathan Larson’s Rent follows a year in the life of a group of impoverished young artists and musicians struggling to survive and create in New York’s Lower East Side, under the shadow of HIV/AIDS. The physical and emotional complications of the disease pervade the lives of Roger, Mimi, Tom, and Angel. Maureen deals with her chronic infidelity through performance art; her partner, Joanne, wonders if their relationship is worth the trouble. Benny has sold out his Bohemian ideals in exchange for a hefty income and is on the outs with his former friends. Mark, an aspiring filmmaker, feels like an outsider to life in general. How these young bohemians negotiate their dreams, loves and conflicts provides the narrative thread to this groundbreaking musical.

Dark History Pittsburgh presents Haunted Walking Tours
2024-09-13 20:00 - 2024-10-26 20:00
Every Friday & Saturday, October 13 – October 26Please note that the Friday, September 20 tour will not include a stop at Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall.

Carnegie! Where it all began. The original tour from Dark History Pittsburgh has 10 terrifying stops—all within a one-mile loop. The stories you’ll hear are all true and based on historical events.

Join Dark History Pittsburgh as their Spirit Guide takes you on a dark and macabre journey across a century of time. Gain entrance to one of the most mysterious buildings in the borough (but be prepared—we climb to the 3rd and 4th floors, which have not been inhabited in 90 years!). Tales are told by flashlight, and guests are encouraged to test the Ghost Net for any shadows crossing their path.

This tour also includes entry into the famed Library known as the “Carnegie Carnegie.” One of only three built under Andrew Carnegie’s personal supervision, this beautiful, historical building holds on to its own share of the unexplained. Flying books, shadow people, the Man in the Hat, and the Screaming Woman ~ all keep house here.

The tour ends in Carnegie’s first cemetery, hidden in plain sight, where you learn of the families who died and were buried there. Enjoy an interesting scavenger hunt as you find the Patriarch’s grave.

NOTES: You will be walking about 1 mile. We climb 3-4 stories of stairs, as some buildings are not equipped with an elevator. You will also briefly walk on/along railroad tracks.

Please wear comfortable shoes!

No pets allowed.

Unfortunately, this tour is not wheelchair accessible.

Suggested age is 12+ years
