WHAT'S ON PITTSBURGH · MIDWEEK
|
|
Happy Monday. The weekend's over, but the good stuff keeps coming, and a lot of this midweek won't cost you a thing. Tuesday leans into a night out: Sam Barber's raw Americana at Stage AE, a rare 35mm print of Tsai Ming-liang's The Hole at the Harris, and Maxwell King on the steel-mill paintings of Aaron Gorson at the History Center. Wednesday spreads out, from close-up magic at Liberty Magic to a free family market and live music in Moon Township to cocktails and a curator talk at the Frick. Thursday closes with Phantogram across the river at the Roxian, a free after-hours look at a hidden Pittsburgh masterpiece at CMOA, and a free night of dance downtown at Arts Landing. Let's get to it! - Madison

★ MIDWEEK PICK
🎶 Phantogram
Roxian Theatre · McKees Rocks · 7 PM
The synth-pop duo behind 'When I'm Small' and 'Fall in Love' brings its big, moody electronic sound across the river to the Roxian. Why go: A headliner this size rarely lands in McKees Rocks, and the room was built for exactly this kind of show.

🎸 Sam Barber: The American Route Tour
Stage AE · North Side · Doors 5:30 PM
Missouri singer-songwriter Sam Barber brings his raw Americana to Stage AE, with Josiah and the Bonnevilles and Wild Horses opening. Why go: His gravel-and-heartbreak voice blew up online, and this one is all ages with an early 5:30 door.

TUESDAY, SEP 22
🎬 The Hole (1998) on 35mm
Harris Theater · Cultural District / Downtown
Tsai Ming-liang's 1998 oddity, a Taiwanese apocalypse musical set in a leaking apartment block, screens on a new 35mm print at the Harris. Why go: It is a one-week arthouse run downtown, and 35mm is how a film this strange is meant to be seen.

📚 Maxwell King: Fire in the Night Sky
Senator John Heinz History Center · Downtown / Strip District · 6 PM · $10
Author Maxwell King digs into the steel-mill paintings of Aaron Gorson, the immigrant artist who turned Pittsburgh's smoky riverfronts luminous, at the History Center. Why go: It is local history you can see on the walls, and tickets are just ten dollars.

WEDNESDAY, SEP 23
🎩 Michael Misko: I Laugh in the Face of Magic
Liberty Magic · Cultural District / Downtown
Local sleight-of-hand comic Michael Misko settles into Liberty Magic, the Trust's tiny speakeasy room downtown, for close-up magic that fools you at arm's length. Why go: It is the most fun a room this small can hold, and the 16-and-up crowd keeps it loose.

WEDNESDAY, SEP 23
🍸 Cocktails and Conversation: French Moderns
The Frick Pittsburgh · Homewood / Point Breeze · 6 PM
Frick chief curator Dawn Reid Brean walks you through the French Moderns exhibition over a themed cocktail or mocktail, one evening only. Why go: It is an unhurried, grown-up way to see the show, drink in hand, before it moves on.
