A Lyrical Christmas Carol at the Gargaro Theater

Young Artist Production

DECEMBER 17 - 21, 2025 GARGARO THEATER

A NOTE FROM PMT’S EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Welcome to A Lyrical Christmas Carol!

The holiday season invites us to slow our steps, open our hearts, and gather close to the stories that remind us what truly matters. In the glow of this special time of year, A Christmas Carol returns to us not simply as a tale, but as a timeless reminder of compassion, redemption, and the enduring power of human connection.

Here in Pittsburgh’s historic West End - our forever home - this production comes to life through the voices, movement, and music of a community that believes deeply in the arts as a force for good. Within these walls, students stand side by side, sharing not only a stage, but a commitment to growth, generosity, and the joy of live theater.

A Lyrical Christmas Carol is a beautiful expression of PMT’s inspiring season - one rooted in heart, soul, and the unforgettable moments that move us to believe in

tomorrow. Every note you hear and every story told reflects the dedication of our remarkable young artists, educators, musicians, designers, and staff, whose creativity lights the way forward.

At its core, this story reminds us that kindness has the power to transform lives, that hope is never out of reach, and that we are strongest when we lift one another up.

These are the values that guide our work at Pittsburgh Musical Theater and the spirit we are proud to share with our West End neighbors and the wider community we serve.

Thank you for being part of the PMT family and for celebrating this season with us. Your presence helps keep the arts alive, vibrant, and accessible for future generations.

From all of us at Pittsburgh Musical Theater, may your holidays be safe, peaceful, and filled with warmth, music, and light. May the season ahead inspire reflection, joy, and a renewed belief in all that is possible.

With heartfelt gratitude and warm holiday wishes, Colleen Doyno Executive Director & Producer Pittsburgh Musical Theater

ELEVATE THE PMT EXPERIENCE FOR ALL PITTSBURGH MUSICAL THEATER IS IN MOTION leading a $20 million comprehensive campaign to transform our 110-year-old school building in Pittsburgh’s historic West End into a state-of-the-art performing arts center.

This transformation isn’t just about bricks and mortar. It’s about:

• Expanding accessibility • • Boosting economic impact • • Creating new community spaces • All at a location that already welcomes nearly 20,000 visitors annually.

THIS IS MORE THAN A RENOVATION. It’s an investment in access, opportunity, and the future of performing arts in Pittsburgh.
