Dead Authors. Spirited Tales. Custom Cocktails.

As the moon arises and shadows grow, vision dims and nightmares flow! The Trick-Or-Treat season is upon us, and we’re putting a spine-tingling twist on it with MasterDeceased Theater, Halloween Edition.

Ghost stories have gone hand-in-hand with the Halloween season for centuries. Ghost stories are naturally aligned with the season because they speak to our fascination for — and fear of — death. Halloween and ghosts are perfect for each other.

Now, Dark History Pgh and The Strand Theater are teaming up to rekindle this haunting tradition with three ghostly tales as chilling as the October night whistling winds.

But wait, there’s more! To make your experience even more unforgettable, each ghastly tale will be paired with a specially crafted cocktail to match its cryptic tone. And to make things extra spooky, we’ve created empty rows in the theater, allowing our horrific hosts to serve you right in your seats.

What’s included with your ticket?

Three bone-chilling ghost stories

Three perfectly paired specialty cocktails

An unforgettable evening of festive frights

Baby, It's Cold Outside!
2026-11-28 14:00 - 19:00 (America/New_York)
A Christmas Toast To Dean Martin & Marilyn Monroe |

DIRECT FROM LAS VEGAS! Two of the best in the business, Susan Griffiths & Andy DiMino, return to bring Strand audiences an unforgettable concert with a yuletide theme….. A Christmas Toast to Marilyn Monroe and Dean Martin!

From such well known songs as That’s Amore, Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime, I Wanna be Loved by You, Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend, audiences will be charmed by the unmistakable chemistry between Andy’s ‘Dean’ and Susan’s ‘Marilyn’!

But that’s not all! To kick off the holiday season, this delightful pair will be adding many of your favorite holiday hits to their repertoire, from Dino classics like Winter Wonderland, I’ve Got My Love to Keep Me Warm and Rudolph, the Red Nosed Reindeer to Marilyn favorites like Santa Baby and What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve, and of course, the delightful duet, Baby It’s Cold Outside!

This pair will take you back to the days of Vegas in the 1950’s, sharing stories and anecdotes about two of the world’s most famous icons. Their performances will bring Marilyn and Dean to life in both story and song.

The kittenish Susan Griffiths is THE Marilyn of Marilyns. She appeared in the 1994 film Pulp Fiction and starred in the 1991 TV movie Marilyn & Me. Griffiths also appeared in her Monroe persona in the TV series Nip/Tuck, and has many other TV roles to her credit. She has posed in countless photos as the platinum blonde bombshell, and most notably appeared on a giant video screen nightly while Sir Elton John performed Candle in the Wind during his Red Piano live concert.

Strand audiences are already big fans of Andy DiMino, who joined Sebastian Anzaldo and Ambus Dean, and later adding Susan, for the fan-favorite Toast to the Rat Pack shows that have played to packed houses and very enthusiastic audiences for many years! But Andy was a true standout among the group. Audiences were floored by his incredible similarities in voice and appearance!

Andy was drawn to Dean Martin’s relaxed style of singing and began collecting CDs, videos, and books on the Rat Pack icon, collecting for 5 years before he ever put on a tux and donned that famous cigarette. Andy’s role as Dean was best described by an industry insider as: “He really has the manner, presence and voice of Dino down pat.” Andy appeared in hundreds of shows in Las Vegas, Atlantic City and all over the world!

Purple Piano: A Prince Tribute
2027-01-24 14:00 - 19:00 UTC
An Intimate One-Man Performance Dedicated to the Music and Artistry of Prince

We could not be more excited for the return of unrivaled Prince Tribute Artist, MARSHALL CHARLOFF, and his intimate one-man concert, Purple Piano! When it debuted here, many fans questioned whether or not a concert with just a piano could capture the spirit of Prince’s music. Well, if you saw this incredible show, you know the answer! If you missed it, this is your chance to correct that error!

Purple Piano reflects Prince’s final concert tour, which was just the iconic artist, his piano and a microphone. Prior to its start, Prince said, “I’m doing it to challenge myself, I won’t know what songs I’m going to do when I go on stage. I won’t have to, since I won’t have a band”. Ultimately, it was Prince’s final tour due to his untimely passing in 2016.

The world’s premiere Prince Tribute Artist, MARSHALL CHARLOFF crafted Purple Piano, which recreates Prince’s final tour, delivered with superb vocals and amazing musicianship on a single piano. It is an interactive and intimate show that any Prince fan will want to experience.

For over a decade, Marshall has established his dominance as the world’s leading Prince Tribute Artist. Coming from fronting the greatest Prince tribute show in the world, to working with The Atlanta Rhythm Section and writing and producing for The Commodores, Marshall created his solo tribute to Prince, the only production of its kind in the world. Purple Piano was so enthusiastically received that it landed a full-time residency in LAS VEGAS, delighting Prince fans from across the globe.

Purple Piano celebrates the soul and intimacy of Prince’s final concert tour, but takes it a step further as Strand patrons are treated, not only to world-class musicianship and engaging graphics and video, but fascinating stories about Prince’s life and career. Purple Piano is a truly satisfying artistic and interactive experience for fans of ‘The Purple One’!

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!

Have A Few Laughs This Easter Season With This Irreverent Musical Comedy…Ok, Have Lots of Laughs

Most of our Easter shows have been joyful, but also intense, with shows like Jesus Christ Superstar, Joseph, Godspell, and even our exclusive Ron Slanina’s Bible On Broadway. This year, we take a light-hearted approach with Nunsense, a hilarious spoof about five nuns managing a fundraiser.

Most of the sisterhood become the ‘dearly departed’ from botulism after a meal made by Sister Julia Child of God. The remaining nuns – ballet-loving Sister Leo, street-wise Sister Robert Anne, befuddled Sister Mary Amnesia, Mother Superior Sister Regina, and mistress of the novices Sister Mary Hubert – stage a talent show to raise money to cover funeral costs. The catchy songs and irreverent comedy will have audiences rolling with laughter.

Nunsense is part of the ‘Tis The Season Subscription Series sponsored by Waymaker Wealth Management which also includes Miracle on 34th Street The Musical, and American Made Music Fest.

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is one of the funniest Broadway musicals ever written! Set in Roman times, this non-stop farce of a comedy combines the ancient comedies of Plautus with Vaudevillian delivery!

Psuedolus schemes to win the heart of the beauteous Phelia for his young master, Hero. Of course, chaos ensues with hair-brained schemes, severe cases of mistaken identity, slamming doors and convoluted plot twists!

In the intimate setting of The Strand, the audience is practically joining the show as a forum of Roman citizens. Togas optional.

A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum is part of the Broadway on Main Subscription Series which also includes Man of La Mancha, and More Solid Gold.
