Off the Record XXIII: A.I. - It's a Real Drag!

“Musical satire for a good cause is back in action for the 23rd year, when OFF THE RECORD XXIII: A.l. - IT'S A REAL DRAG! is back at the Byham Theater on Oct. 12, 2023. Emcee extraordinaire KEN RICE returns, local unions United Steelworkers, SAG-AFTRA and the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh collaborate with regional performers, broadcasters and community volunteers in an original spoof of Pittsburgh news and newsmakers. The show takes aim at the threat of artificial Intelligence, embraces our drag queen community ... and you can bet there will be spotted lanternflies. In 2023, we honor the late Pittsburgh broadcasting legend STAN SAVRAN, and we have a big sendoff for County Executive RICH FITZGERALD, honoring his years of service to the region and his support for OFF THE RECORD. The annual fundraiser has raised tens of thousands of dollars annually for GREATER PITTSBURGH COMMUNITY FOOD BANK. In a year when $1 = three meals for Southwestern Pennsylvanians with food insecurities, we encourage you to donate at pittsburghfoodbank.org/record23 or by texting record23 to 50155. And of course, get your tickets and come to the Byham for free bites, a paid bar and a few surprises in the lobby, starting at 6:30 p.m.. Then at 8 p.m., sit back and enjoy the show!
