Summer Musical Theater Camp 2026 at the Gargaro Theater

JULY 16 - 19, 2026

A NOTE FROM PMT’S EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Friends,

As another wonderful Summer Musical Theater Program comes to a close, I want to take a moment to personally thank each one of you for being a part of the Pittsburgh Musical Theater family.

To our parents, thank you for placing your trust in PMT and allowing us to be a part of your child’s artistic and personal journey. We know you have many choices when it comes to arts education, and we are truly honored that you chose Pittsburgh Musical Theater. Your confidence in our faculty, staff, and mission means more than you know.

This has been an extraordinary year filled with learning, creativity, growth, and opportunity. Every rehearsal, class, performance, and shared moment has helped our students build confidence, discover new talents, create lasting friendships, and experience the joy that only live theater can provide. Watching them grow both on and off the stage is one of the greatest privileges we have.

On behalf of our entire faculty, staff, artists, interns, volunteers, and Board of Directors, thank you for making this such a successful year. Your support and enthusiasm inspire us every day and allow PMT to continue creating opportunities for students of all ages.

As we look ahead, I couldn’t be more excited for the incredible season of opportunities that awaits us. From inspiring educational programs to unforgettable performances, there is so much to look forward to as we continue building a place where every student can learn, grow, and shine.

Until then, I wish you and your family a safe, relaxing, and joyful remainder of the summer.

Thank you again for being a part of our PMT family. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another exciting season together!

With heartfelt gratitude,

Colleen Doyno Executive Director & Producer Pittsburgh Musical Theater

ELEVATE THE PMT EXPERIENCE FOR ALL

PITTSBURGH MUSICAL THEATER IS IN MOTION -

leading a $20 million comprehensive campaign to transform our 110-year-old school building in Pittsburgh’s historic West End into a state-of-the-art performing arts center.

This transformation isn’t just about bricks and mortar. It’s about:

• Expanding accessibility •

• Boosting economic impact •

• Creating new community spaces •

All at a location that already welcomes nearly 20,000 visitors annually.

THIS IS MORE THAN A RENOVATION.

It’s an investment in access, opportunity, and the future of performing arts in Pittsburgh.

YOUNG ARTIST PRODUCTION

The foundation of PMT’s mission is built on arts education, development, mentorship, and providing performance opportunities for young artists. Students at PMT Conservatory receive a truly unique experience to use their training in fully produced productions of their own in which they take on roles as performers and technical theater crew.

Whether a student wishes to pursue a career in the arts or another field, Young Artist Productions provide an opportunity for growth and building transferable life skills in our future leaders. Patrons attending Young Artist Productions will be a part of it all as they experience and enjoy the best of our region’s talented youth in professional-quality entertainment!
