The Byham Theater has been a staple in Downtown Pittsburgh since 1903, when it was called the Gayety Theater. Its 1,300 seats have seen countless performances, from musical theater and dance to contemporary films. The year 2025 may be coming to an end, but at the Byham, there are still memories to be made.

From Friday, November 14, to Sunday, November 16, 2025, the Pittsburgh Opera proudly presents the 2016 production Fellow Travelers at the Byham Theater. Originally premiering in 2016 at the Cincinnati Opera, this critically-acclaimed show is taking the stage in Pittsburgh.

The Byham Theater originally opened in 1904 as a vaudeville theater. In 1930, the theater was transitioned into a movie theater before the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust took it over in 1990. This summer, the theater is hosting an array of comedians and more, guaranteed to make you laugh, relax, and enjoy yourself.

Since the bar’s grand opening in 2001, Olive or Twist has been serving guests, hosting events, and supporting the community in Downtown Pittsburgh by offering locally sourced spirits and beers on their menu and by featuring local musicians who perform live music for guests.
