The Pittsburgh International Children’s Festival is also proud to partner with the University of Pittsburgh’s Department of Theatre Arts to host Silent Disco. Special wireless technology headsets allow attendees to experience a customized dance party. Children (and adults) can choose between the family-friendly music of two DJs. The concept is an international phenomenon that is sure to entertain.

Room on the Broom, featuring Tall Stories (UK), involves the story of a dog, bird, frog, cat and witch, who all end up riding on the same broom, until it snaps.

In 1985, Performing Arts For Children and CitiParks incorporated the Pittsburgh International Children’s Festival as a not-for-profit organization to co-present an international arts festival in Pittsburgh. Since its debut the following year, The Pittsburgh International Children’s Festival has been committed to providing children with the experience of live theater from around the world.

The 2011 festival will also feature the incredible Amococo (sponsored by Equitable Gas), a luminarium sculpture by Architects of Air. (Nottingham, UK). Amococo , an inflatable environment in which people of all ages can explore a labyrinth of light and color, will be located at the Lower Cathedral of Learning Lawn. In addition to the featured performances, festival attendees can look forward to a variety of hands-on arts and cultural activities at the K12 Community Stage as they visit the festival grounds.

In 2008 the Children’s Theater merged with The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, a partnership that has proved to be a dynamic asset to enhancing the Trust’s family programming line-up. The Pittsburgh International Children’s Festival (sponsored by Giant Eagle) will celebrate its 25th PRESENTING SPONSOR
