New Hazlett Theater

Great theatre on the North Side. It's cozy and inviting.Several of my friends are local theatre performers and actors and often I get to see their works here.I get really excited to be invited to a play or other event here because it's such an appealing venue to soak in the culture and art of dance, acting, music and more.

Got to experience The Hazlett and the Texture Contemporary Ballet, both for the first time. The night I went they had a happy hour which provided low priced cocktails and they provided tasty hors d'oeuvres. The ambiance is very comfortable. The decor is clean and crisp. I would describe it as a soft industrial. They had a musician playing on the second level. The ballet itself was excellent. The ballet corp was energetic and well rehearsed. As their name indicates, the style is modern. There were three new works. The dancers interweaved and reacted with each other very well. I found all three pieces well done. The tickets are $20 for seniors, artists and students. I ordered mine on-line a head of time so mine was only $25. Tickets are $30 at the door. Regardless which tier you are in, the cost is very reasonable and well worth the cost. I can't wait until I go again.

I had the pleasure of visiting the theater for the first time for "A Lyrical Christmas Carol". Not a bad seat in the house. Stadium seating.. offers great view. I sat in one of the front rows and I felt as if I was part of the show from time to time.. it was great!! Off street parking - if you can find it or the garage nearby had parking for $7.00 which wasn't bad. I cant wait to go back for another show!

I very much enjoyed the play Animal Farm at this venue last Friday evening. They served drinks in the lobby before the show and during intermission and afforded tables where you could actuallt sit and enjoy your beverage.The theater itself is small enough that every seat will give you a good view of the stage yet large enough accommodate a decent crowd. The seats could be a little more comfortable but that's my only knock on the theater. There's plenty of on-street parking near by and it's located within walking distance of many restaurants for a preshow dinner. If a show comes to the New Hazlet that catches your interest go ahead and get tickets. You'll most likely have a great time.

The New Hazlett is such a great theater to have in our area. One, because it's a beautiful structure on the outside that you could almost mistake for a church. But it was just built as a Carnegie Music Hall back in the day, so of course it's grandiose looking. It was also home to the Pittsburgh Public Theater for many many years and is now a venue for various shows and concerts. It's a really intimate space to see a production, with it being an almost theater in the round stage. You can take in the performance from every angle. I just love the experience you have with these types of venues. If you ever have a chance to catch a show or go to an event here, definitely do it. You won't have a bad seat in the house!

What a cool space - I didn't even realize this was here! Just goes to show that there are hidden treasures in this city. I will say that driving/parking and generally navigating in this area is difficult - it's like a big one-way circle and you think it would be easy to figure out where you are, but driving here in the dark I lost my sense of direction more than once. This place is very close to the Children's Museum if that helps. It looks like a church so don't be fooled. We were confused at first but then realized it was the theater. The theater itself is spacious and seems well-maintained. I'd definitely go here again, especially now that I know where it is!

You've got 300 people signed up for your conference/seminar/performance and nowhere to stage it? New Hazlett is now your new jam. First off, the building is one of the the coolest, historic stone structures you'll find in Pittsburgh. The steps and front entrance make for a most impressive entrance. Further substantiating its great first impression are its clean and modern lobby and well equipped performance hall.I've attended a theater performance, musical act, and two web design conferences here and each one has been a flawless experience which I would attribute -- in part at least -- to a very capable technical staff at the theater. I don't have any personal experience working with the staff here, but based on the events I've seen put on, clearly someone is working hard and doing things right here.

Great theater, with great events and a great staff! The lobby is beautiful, and the theater is spacious!

Versatile space, I have been here for modern dance, plays, community forums and concerts. All the seats have an excellent view of the stage. The lobby is a fun place to hang out before a show or during an intermission. This is a marvelous venue and a real asset to the performing arts in Pittsburgh. There are several good restaurants to eat close by, namely Nicky's Thai, Carmi's, Legends, James Street and more.

Very nice venue for music and theater. Saw a Kente production of a jazz musician, Steve Nelson.
