It’s embraced by couples, social groups, and families alike! Fans have made it a cherished part of their annual Christmas traditions.

It's A USO Christmas | Dec 20 & 21 Only!
2025-12-20 19:30 - 2025-12-21 14:00 UTC
Swing into that Good Old-Fashioned Christmas Spirit!

Nostalgia takes the stage as The Strand presents a concert event saluting those famous USO shows produced for our troops overseas back in the 1940s and 50s. Expect non-stop music, comedy and ‘backstage’ hijinks.

It’s a USO Christmas harkens back to the beloved variety shows made famous by the likes of Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, Marilyn Monroe, and The Andrews Sisters. We honor these heroes of yesteryear with a fictional cast of characters and a story that weaves between on-stage performances and peaks ‘behind the curtain.’

The Emcee is the wise-cracking song and dance man, trying to keep his stars in line and the troops entertained. The Starlet is a voluptuous bombshell that handles anything from the sultry ‘Santa Baby’ to the warm-hearted ‘Christmas Song’. The Broad has soul, wit & heart wrapped up in a bawdy, funny gal. She’ll make you laugh, then break your heart. The GI is young, handsome, idealistic, and sings like an angel.

It’s A USO Christmas is a show whose audience enthusiasm has grown every year since its debut. It continues to find new fans while others make it a part of their annual Christmas traditions, just like A Musical Christmas Carol or The Nutcracker. But this is an EXCLUSIVE production of The Strand. If you don’t see it here, you won’t see it anywhere else!

We are thrilled to announce that The Strand is now an OFFICIAL charitable donor to United Service Organization, INC (USO), and a portion of all ticket proceeds will benefit this tremendous organization. It’s an honor and a privilege for this production to be recognized officially by USO!

USO is a registered trademark of the United Service Organizations, INc. (USO), a congressionally chartered, nonprofit charitable organization, which has authorized the use of its name for this program. Such authorization does not constitute an endorsement by USO.

Elf | Dec 26-28
2025-12-26 00:00 - 2025-12-28 23:59 (America/New_York)
Starring Will Ferrell, James Caan & Bob Newhart

After inadvertently wreaking havoc on the elf community due to his ungainly size, a man raised as an elf at the North Pole is sent to the U.S. in search of his true identity.

One of the quintessential Christmas movies since it’s release in 2003, ELF has become a fan favorite at The Strand. Enjoy it with the whole family on our new larger screen in 45 speaker surround-sound.

Will Ferrell caused several minor traffic accidents when walking through the Lincoln Tunnel in his costume because people were so surprised to see him wearing an elf outfit. Also, on the final day of shooting in New York, it was just the director, Mike Favreau, Will Ferrell, and a camera man driving around the city looking for locations to shoot. They would jump out and ask pedestrians if they would be willing to be extras for some quick cash while Ferrell paraded around acting like Buddy. Much of the montage when Buddy first arrives in New York was filmed then, such as when he is getting his shoes shined and jumping between traffic.

The design for Santa’s Workshop as well as the Elf uniforms come from the originalRudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964) animated special. The Elf uniforms completely mirror the ones from the TV special. Most of the animals in the North Pole are also designed to look like the same form of stop motion animation used in Rudolph.

The sound effect used by the jack-in-the-box is the same sound effect used by the laughing hyenas at the Magic Kingdom at Disney World in Orlando, Fl. And was also used in the 1955 Disney movie; “Lady and the Tramp” for the laughing hyenas in the zoo, as well as for Ripper Roo in the Crash Bandicoot video game series.

Thunderstruck | America's AC/DC Tribute | Jan 2 & 3
2026-01-02 19:30 - 2026-01-03 19:30 (America/New_York)
LET THERE BE ROCK N ROLL!

Some things in life just keep giving year after year. In the rock n’ roll world, it is the music of AC/DC. From the early days with Bon Scott to the modern era with Brian Johnson, few bands offer a sound as unique and distinctive as AC/DC. Thunderstruck gives fans so much more than the sound of AC/DC, they truly capture the high voltage energy and experience. For fans, it’s about a sense of familiarity, and it’s about a feeling that snatches up listeners and takes over

Thunderstruck: America’s AC/DC Tribute bring their decades of combined musicianship to every stage they play, expertly recreating the AC/DC live concert experience, just the way fans remember it. Not only are they the complete embodiment of the next generation of AC/DC tribute band, they are a true rock band and family. They are five men completely united and driven by their own passion for AC/DC’s music. It’s this passion that causes every member to obsess over the tones and structures of each song, the energy of each performance, as well as

every piece of gear, to bring the power and entertainment of a genuine AC/DC show. Thunderstruck has performed tribute shows throughout the nation, with a consistent record of sold out shows from coast-to-coast. The band has continued to grow its fan base by building and maintaining relationships with some of the nation’s biggest promoters and venues, such as Live Nation and the House of Blues, as well as by performing at major music festivals including the Pensacola Tribute Fest and Parr Fest, in addition to live stream performances for major brands such as Number Juan Tequila and Monsters of Rock.

Arsenic and Old Lace
2026-01-04 14:00 (America/New_York)
Starring Cary Grant, Priscilla Lane, & Raymond Massey

In partnership with the Pittsburgh Classic Movie Club, The Strand is tickled to bring this vintage screwball comedy from 1944 back to the Big Screen in 39 speaker surround-sound. A member of the Pittsburgh Classic Movie Club will make a short presentation about the film and the club before the Sunday matinee only.

Mortimer Brewster, a Brooklyn writer of books on the futility of marriage, risks his reputation after he decides to tie the knot. Things grow complicated when he learns that his beloved maiden aunts Abby and Martha are serial murderers.

At the time of production, Warner Bros. announced that the Brewster house was the largest set ever built at the studio. The house was complete, room by room, in every detail. Production records confirm that several scenes were shot in various rooms of the Brewster house. (Mortimer’s grandfather’s study, the aunts’ bedroom, and the cellar were filmed, but not included in the final cut of the film).

In none of his closeups does Raymond Massey ever blink.

Cary Grant’s birth name, Archie Leach, appears on a tombstone in the cemetery near the Brewster’s house. In Grant’s earlier picture, His Girl Friday (1940), his character, Walter, responded to a threat by saying ‘Listen, the last man that said that to me was Archie Leach, just a week before he cut his throat’. As a gag, the departed Mr. Leach was apparently interred in the Brooklyn cemetery by the Brewster’s home.

Lilo & Stitch
2026-01-09 00:00 - 2026-01-11 23:59 (America/New_York)
Starring Maia Kealoha, Sydney Agudong, & Chris Sanders

A lonely Hawaiian girl befriends a runaway alien, helping to mend her fragmented family.

Chris Sanders, the director, writer, and story creator of Lilo & Stitch (2002), reprises his role as Stitch. He had to juggle his voice work with making his blockbuster hit animated drama The Wild Robot (2024) at the same time.

When casting the role of Lilo, Dean Fleischer Camp prepared himself for the onslaught of stage parents carting their kids to auditions. He wasn’t, however, looking for that kind of child actor. “Kids are so impressionable, and their brains are sponges that they know what got them that Cheerios commercial, and they know that it’s being cute,” he explains. The downside to that type of kid actor, he adds, is “people are really good at detecting when cuteness is a put-on. So we were looking for a kid who maybe was less experienced and someone that we could work with.” Maia Kealoha, he says, was the furthest thing from those booked-and-busy young actors: “She may have been the only one we auditioned where it was so obvious that she was dragging her parents to these auditions and not the other way around.”

Tia Carrere, the original voice of Nani Pelekai in Lilo & Stitch (2002), is cast in this film as Mrs. Kekoa, a new character.

The Buddy Holly Story (1978 Film) | Jan 23 & 25
2026-01-23 00:00 - 2026-01-25 23:59 (America/New_York)
The 1978 Oscar-Nominated Film Starring Gary Busey, Don Stroud & Charles Martin Smith

The story of the life and career of the early rock and roll singer, from his meteoric rise to stardom, to his marriage and untimely death.

Many of the actors did their own singing and played their own instruments live during the filming of the production numbers. This included the film’s main players Gary Busey, Don Stroud and Charles Martin Smith.

Paul McCartney, who is a huge fan of Buddy Holly, used to hold an annual “Buddy Holly Birthday Party” in New York, and would always showcase this film during the party. The Beatles were named in tribute to The Crickets, the band Holly performed with. McCartney bought the copyrights to Holly’s published songs in 1977.

Universal Studios tried three times to obtain film rights to Buddy Holly’s life. The studio even commissioned a screenplay and submitted it to Holly’s widow, Maria Elena Holly, who turned it down. 20th Century-Fox actually completed two weeks of filming, even though they also had failed to acquire film rights. They halted production and wrote off the experience as a loss. Maria Elena felt Buddy would be more accurately captured by a smaller, independent, company which had much to gain or lose by doing justice to the project.

Buddy Holly & Friends 'Winter Dance Party'
2026-01-24 14:00 - 19:30 (America/New_York)
Live On Stage! Stirring Tributes to Buddy Holly & Friends on the Anniversary of ‘The Day The Music Died’

Travel back in time with Buddy Holly & Friends! This concert is a modern revival of the original WINTER DANCE PARTY tour that took place over 60 years ago, plus so much more!

On February 2nd, 1959, Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, The Big Bopper, and Dion and The Belmonts performed together for the very last time. The ‘Winter Dance Party’ tour was thrilling teenagers across the Midwest, a scheduled 24-city tour, headlined by Holly and his band, The Crickets. The tour would end in disaster on February 3rd, 1959, when all three would die in their charter plane crash on the way to the tour’s next stop. Remembered ever since as ‘The Day the Music Died’, these legends had already made their mark in music history. On the eve of its anniversary, this show relives the concert experience and tells the story of the devastating loss through the eyes of Dion, who was unable to join the others as there wasn’t enough room on the plane; an incredible story and music event!

This show brings back the best hits of the original Winter Dance Party line up and also includes songs by other stars of the era, including FATS DOMINO, ROY ORBISON, BILL HALEY, and PAUL ANKA. Hits by BIG MAMA THORNTON, LESLEY GORE, THE RONETTES, AND THE SHIRELLES are featured in special tribute moments to the iconic female artists of the era. Even The King himself, ELVIS will make an appearance! For those who remember, this show will be a trip down memory lane, while introducing these legends to the next generation, telling their story and recreating the music that has become so cherished over the decades!

Combining distorted guitars with nostalgic close harmonies, they’ve been described as a mix between The Everly Brothers and Nirvana. New Hollow gained national attention by performing the National Anthem at the Thanksgiving Day game at Cowboys Stadium, then landed 3 singles on Billboard’s Hot 100, and shared the stage with acts like Fall Out Boy, Train, and Joan Jett.

THE BAND LIGHT describes themselves as a ‘rock n roll boy band’. It’s old-soul musicality and captivating star power that create their dynamic live performances, capturing the hearts of passionate fans across the U.S. and beyond. They brought their show to an arena stage at Penn State’s annual THON, BMI’s Nashville showcase music festival, and various shows at ‘THE POP UP’ series alongside the Jonas Brothers. In 2024, the band supported Quarters of Change on their ‘Portraits Tour’ along the East Coast and New Hope Club on their US tour. While on the road, the band continues to release new music, fusing their fresh new sound with the nostalgia of classic rock.

Rhett Walker | Faith & Family Tour with Olivia Lane
2026-03-12 19:00 (America/New_York)
Grammy and Dove Nominated Christian Music Artist

Rhett Walker is a Grammy and Dove nominated Christian singer-songwriter known for his Southern rock style and faith-filled storytelling. His debut single, When Mercy Found Me, earned him a Grammy nomination and introduced his heartfelt, storytelling style to the Christian music scene. Since then, he has received multiple GMA Dove Award nominations for his inspiring music. With hits like Gospel Song, Somebody Say Amen, Believer, and Man on the Middle Cross, Walker continues to share messages of faith and redemption all over the country.

Rhett is still in the midst of mapping out his all-new ‘Faith & Family Tour’ for 2026, but one thing is certain. He’ll be visiting Zelienople for the very first time! Used to playing much larger venues across the country, we were thrilled when his agent told him about The Strand, and he was genuinely intrigued about performing with his full band in such an intimate space.

Rhett will be joined on his 2026 tour by OLIVIA LANE, a Nashville-based recording artist & songwriter. During a popular string of viral TikTok posts in 2021 sharing her “atheist to amen” journey, she shared her song Woman At The Well, which struck a massive chord on the youth-oriented social media platform. Lane is known as much for her beaming smile and disarming charm as her pristine, soulful performances.

Enjoy this lyric video of one of Rhett’s biggest hits, Somebody Say Amen, then see him live on stage in the intimate setting of The Strand Theater on Thursday, March 12!

Forever Simon & Garfunkel

Tribute to the Best Selling Duo in Rock History

Forever Simon & Garfunkel: A Tribute celebrates the best selling duo in rock’n’roll history. With humor, soaring energy, charm, and laser precise harmony, Sean Altman & Jack Skuller lead the audience on a concert journey through Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel’s teenage roots, their early success as a groovy folk act, their global dominance as hit-makers, and even some of Paul Simon’s solo career, with songs like The Sound Of Silence, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Mrs. Robinson, I Am A Rock, The Boxer, Homeward Bound, Cecilia, Hazy Shade Of Winter, Feeling Groovy, Me & Julio Down by the Schoolyard, Kodachrome, and many more!

Award-winning singer-songwriters Sean Altman (Rockapella) & Jack Skuller (Songwriters Hall Of Fame Buddy Holly Prize) met on stage in 2010, when they were paired at a variety show to duet Mrs. Robinson. Jack had just celebrated his 14th birthday, and Sean had just celebrated his shiny new AARP card, but the audience found their December-January musical bromance and brotherly harmony to be enchanting and mesmerizing. They formed Forever Simon & Garfunkel in 2020, and tour internationally.

Check out this delightful promo reel, which not only showcases this duo’s amazing vocal talent,but their genuine chemistry as performers!

The Everly Set
2026-03-15 14:00 (America/New_York)
A Celebration of The Everly Brothers

In 1957, teens Phil and Don Everly supercharged the vocal sound of Rock’n’Roll with “Bye Bye Love” and “Wake Up Little Susie”, unleashing the sparkling vocal harmonies that would influence The Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, The Beach Boys, The Hollies, The Eagles, Peter Paul & Mary, and the Bee Gees.

Now, six decades later, two acclaimed singer-songwriters with a mind-bending three-decade age difference combine millennial pluck with baby-boomer sass to present The Everly Set: Sean Altman & Jack Skuller Celebrate The Everly Brothers, featuring Bye Bye Love, Wake Up Little Susie, Cathy’s Clown, All I Have To Do Is Dream, When Will I Be Loved, Crying In The Rain, Love Hurts, Bird Dog, Claudette, Walk Right Back, and more hits and rarities in concert.

Jack Skuller signed his first recording contract at just 14 years old. His debut single “Love is a Drum” was called “arguably the best single released by anyone [that] year” by The Examiner, and The New York Post labeled Skuller “a mini Jack White.” His music career has since earned him a reputation for powerful live shows rooted in old school rock’n’roll. In his teen years, Skuller performed his original music for thousands of people across the U.S. as a Disney recording artist. He has been featured on the Disney Channel, FOX-TV’s Good Day New York, Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls, and with the GRAMMY Foundation. His music was selected for an ASPCA campaign, and is continually played on indie rock radio across the U.S. (including Sirius XM). The Songwriters Hall of Fame recognized his talent by awarding him the esteemed Buddy Holly Prize. Now, Skuller continues to produce his raucous, catchy brand of rockabilly and rock’n’roll that American Songwriter once noted as “analog, vintage, and cool, with a sincerity.” As NYC The Deli Magazine put it – “Buddy Holly would be proud.”

Ex-Rockapella star Sean Altman is “tuneful and sharply witty” (Los Angeles Times) and “relentlessly clever” (Chicago Tribune), with “catchy melodies, clever arrangements and lyrics that yield satiric gems” (Washington Post), combining “the tunefulness of the Beatles and the spot-on wit of Tom Lehrer” (Boston Globe) with a “silky tenor voice that produced chills” (New York Times). Altman — widely regarded as “the Father of Modern A Cappella” — co-founded and led the pioneering vocal group Rockapella through its heyday on the Emmy-winning daily PBS-TV series Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?, for which he co-wrote the famous theme song. Original songs from his six albums have been featured on dozens of TV and radio shows including Saturday Night Live, NPR’s Fresh Air with Terry Gross, The Daily Show With Jon Stewart, The Colbert Report, and Schoolhouse Rock. Altman has twice performed at the White House, he has shared concert stages with Billy Joel, Steve Miller, Whoopi Goldberg, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Jay Leno and Joey Ramone, and he has recorded with artists as varied as Steve Miller, XTC, John Cale, Richie Havens, and They Might Be Giants.

Spend Part of Your Easter Season with This Groundbreaking Rock Opera

The Motown concerts may hold the record as our most popular concert series, but the undisputed champion of our full-cast productions is Jesus Christ Superstar! When we premiered it in 2016, it was the first time we sold out every seat in the run. The 2018 revival was rated by our patrons as even better than the televised version starring John Legend that aired that same year on NBC. In 2022, the shows were sold out weeks in advance!

We’re excited to bring Andrew Lloyd Webber’s trailblazing musical back to center stage in this fully-produced event to help you celebrate the Easter season.

There’s no better way to experience this groundbreaking musical than in the intimate setting of The Strand, where you won’t miss a single smile, whisper, or tear. The show brings you to joyous heights and deep sorrow, as it explores Christ’s humanity during his final days on Earth.

Jesus Christ Superstar is part of our ‘Tis the Season subscription series that also included Chiller Theatre: The Musical and Yacht Rock Live.

The Music of George Gershwin

Broadway’s Juliet Ewing Takes You Thru the Musical Journey of the Iconic George Gershwin

George Gershwin was one of the most significant and prolific composers of all time. Of course, he’s known for his work on Broadway, but just as significant and relevant were his orchestral and piano compositions in which he blended, in varying degrees, the techniques and forms of classical music with the stylistic nuances of popular music and jazz.

Broadway Star, JULIET EWING returns to The Strand, so much a fan of the Gershwin songbook that she created her own cabaret show around it. Now, she’s thrilled to collaborate with us on a more expansive exploration of Gershwin’s iconic works.

The Music of George Gershwin is part of our Broadway On Main subscription series that also included Rock of Ages and Solid Gold: In Concert.
