PLAYBOX

Playbox is an experimental, actor-led ensemble redefining what theatre can be in Pittsburgh. We are a community of innovators, creators, and curious risk-takers committed to building Theatre Worth Making. Work that is bold, urgent, and deeply connected to the world around us.

Every week, With the support of the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, we gather in our training lab to explore experimental theatre, ensemble collaboration, and the art of creative risk-taking. This space is where artists of all backgrounds come together to challenge themselves, support one another, and grow as storytellers. Our members range from emerging actors to seasoned professionals, all united by the belief that theatre should be fearless, a driving force for truth, imagination, innovation, and progress.

At the heart of Playbox is a mission to create opportunities for artists who haven’t yet found a home in traditional institutions. We believe that supporting these voices strengthens not only our ensemble but also the wider Pittsburgh arts ecosystem. By investing in Playbox, you help sustain a creative home where artists can thrive and audiences can encounter theatre that challenges, excites, and inspires to make an impact in our communities.

Your support helps fund our ensemble, stage innovative productions, and opens our doors to more artists and audiences. Together, we can make space for fearless art that matters—right here in Pittsburgh.
