A $20 million campaign transforming PMT's home — and securing our future.
Donate NowIn 2000, Pittsburgh Musical Theater moved into the 110-year-old former Saint James School and began charting a course to make Pittsburgh's West End our forever home.
With generous support from The Heinz Endowments and the Richard King Mellon Foundation, PMT purchased the building in 2013. Since then, the organization has invested nearly $3.5 million in repairing, stabilizing, and improving its home.
In late 2022, PMT publicly announced Elevating the PMT Experience for All — a comprehensive campaign to transform the facility into a state-of-the-art performing arts center and permanently secure our future.
The campaign totals $20 million and is divided into three phases of construction, carefully designed and strategically aligned with PMT's programming, educational work, and unique strengths.
Three carefully planned phases will transform PMT's historic home while supporting the organization's artistic, educational, and community impact.
The first phase focuses on creating a more accessible and welcoming facility while strengthening PMT's role as an economic and cultural anchor in Pittsburgh's West End.
Future improvements will expand PMT's capacity to welcome artists, students, community groups, and audiences into flexible, inspiring spaces.
The final phase will help ensure that PMT's home remains a sustainable, adaptable resource for generations of artists, students, audiences, and community members.
PMT's home has evolved significantly over the years. These improvements represent the ongoing investment required to preserve and strengthen our historic home.
Explore the vision behind Elevating the PMT Experience for All and the transformation of Pittsburgh Musical Theater's West End home.
When complete, the campaign will create a more comfortable and welcoming environment for patrons and guests, elevate PMT's hands-on arts education, support our economic impact in the West End, and expand opportunities for community and artistic use.
A more accessible facility for students, artists, patrons, and community members.
Better spaces to support PMT Conservatory and hands-on arts education.
Flexible spaces welcoming a diverse array of community and artistic groups.
A stronger, more sustainable home for PMT's next generation.
PMT is where students grow. Where creativity is face-to-face. Where audiences experience dynamic, driven, and versatile performances. And where people of all kinds come together.
Pittsburgh Musical Theater is deeply grateful to the foundations, public agencies, corporations, government partners, and individuals whose philanthropic investment is helping make this transformation possible.
Your support helps Pittsburgh Musical Theater create a home that is more accessible, welcoming, sustainable, and ready for the next generation of artists, students, audiences, and community members.
