Tickets
Cheap Seats
The Cheap Seats program is available to University of Pittsburgh students, faculty, and staff.
You can reserve tickets outside the PITT ARTS office at 929 William Pitt Union. Fill out a ticket order form, attach payment (exact cash, check, or credit/debit card), and put it in the appropriate lock box if the office is closed. Your tickets will be waiting for you one hour prior to the performance at the appropriate venue. It is that simple.
Each person can purchase up to four tickets for all shows (with a few noted exceptions), and you can take non-Pitt people!
The events involved are not Pitt sponsored events or venues. Rather, PITT ARTS works with arts organizations to ensure that "best available" seating is offered for a low price. Individuals with special needs should contact the arts organization directly in order to purchase tickets and ensure accessible seating.
NOTE: Each one of our Cheap Seats partners has a different deadline by which you need to purchase tickets. Check the boxes outside our office for deadlines, or call us at 412-624-4498.

This spirited tribute recreates one of the famous “Summit at the Sands” hotel shows, when the swingin,’ ring-a-ding group known as the “Rat Pack” was creating hipster legend with a free-wheeling, no-holds-barred nightclub act starring Vegas’ four favorite sons: Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Jr., Dean Martin and Joey Bishop.
THE RAT PACK IS BACK features uncanny vocal recreations, unbridled humor, and a hot, live big band that sends audiences straight back to the coolest time in history. Hits include “That’s Amore,” “Fly Me to the Moon,” “Mr. Bojangles,” and many more.

$12 Students, $14 Faculty/Staff
On an ordinary day at the Shear Madness hair salon, the regulars stop by for their weekly set and style, a little gossip or an old-fashioned shave. But when a scissor job gone bad leaves the upstairs landlady dead as a doornail, the crazy company of customers and stylists below find themselves locked in and fingered for murder. Full of mischief and mayhem, constantly snappy and sassy and bursting with up-to-the-minute laughs, Shear Madness brings a wacky cast of characters to life before your eyes! The outcome is different at every show because the audience gets to comb through the clues and solve the crime in America’s favorite whodunit comedy!

Cymbeline by William Shakespeare
July 1 - August 24 - Purchase by Tuesday 12PM prior to show.
Outdoors in Mellon Park, Shadyside
$15 Students, $23 (Tues, Wed, Sun)$26 (Thurs, Fri) Faculty/Staff
Is it a comedy, a tragedy, a romance? Like Quantum, Shakespeare’s Cymbeline breaks the rules and doesn't care. At its heart are many journeys. Broken families stumble back together and characters struggle through dense fog to emerge whole. Cymbeline is a tale about who we are, where we come from, and how we find our way home. Written late in Shakespeare’s life, this highly theatrical, no-holds Bard has a cross-dressing heroine, Machiavellian villains, tyrannical kings, long-lost children, a wicked queen, star-crossed lovers... and a Deus Ex Machina that resolves a plot with more ricochets than 'Desperate Housewives.'
