Off the Record XXIV: God, Save the Burgh!

Musical satire for a good cause is back in action for the 24TH year, when OFF THE RECORD XXIV: GOD, SAVE THE BURGH! is at the Byham Theater on Oct. 17, 2024. Emcee extraordinaire KEN RICE returns, as 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. As we begin our story this year, a great flood is coming to Pittsburgh, and it's up to the Chosen One, Noelle, keeper of the Kennywood Ark, to save the day. In 2024, we honor recently retired Steelers play-by-play announcer BILL HILLGROVE, and we welcome County Executive SARA INNAMARATO to kick off the show. The annual fundraiser has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for GREATER PITTSBURGH COMMUNITY FOOD BANK. In a year when $1 = 3 meals for Southwestern Pennsylvanians with food insecurities, we encourage you to donate at pittsburghfoodbank.org/record24 or by texting record24 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!
