Open Mic: The Final(s) Edition

Thursday, Nov. 30 | 8:30-10 p.m.

Finals may be on the way, but we've got time for one more open mic. Join us to celebrate the semester with a night of music, spoken word, and more before you slip into that late-night Hillman haze.

Come to perform or just to hang out, get a sugar rush on, and support your Pitt community. Everyone is welcome, and you don't have to be an experienced performer to take our stage.

Open mics will start up again in January, but this is it for 2023! Bring a friend or three and make some noise to close out the year with style. 

Telling Secrets

Friday, Dec. 8 | 2-3 p.m.

Secret Pittsburgh’s media environment is expanding. Join this semester’s students in C4C: The Understory (Cathedral of Learning basement, B50) as they launch the first season of the Secret Pittsburgh podcast.

Across 10 episodes, students tell audio stories of the Nine Mile Run stream, Carrie Blast Furnace and Pittsburgh’s industrial past, Rodef Shalom Temple’s Biblical Botanical Garden, Quantum Theater’s place-based mission and recent productions, and the August Wilson House in the Hill District.

Students will offer brief overviews of their narrative approach and audio processes before playing selected clips. Food and drink will be provided. We hope to see you there!
