SUMMARY:Yacht Rock Live | Jun 5-7
DESCRIPTION:The Trendiest Music Style of the Decade Washes Up on The Strand Shores to Kick Off the Summer Season! \n\n\n\n‘Yacht Rock has become one of the trendiest music genres of the decade; a broad music style associated with soft rock or adult contemporary pop. Peeled from the AM/FM airwaves of the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s\, Yacht Rock draws from smooth soul & jazz\, R&B\, and disco. \n\n\n\nWith a focus on light\, catchy melodies\, Yacht Rock connects with music lovers across the generations. In this exclusive concert experience\, we’ll set sail across the smooth waves of your favorite Yacht Rock. \n\n\n\n\nYacht Rock live will feature Doug Edgell! Doug Edgell is a Pittsburgh-based guitarist and vocalist with over 35 years of performing experience. In the 1990s\, he was the guitarist and songwriter for the band Sleeping Giants\, and has since built a strong presence throughout the tri-state area as both a solo acoustic performer and a member of the 90s tribute band High Fidelity. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKnown for his smooth vocals\, versatile guitar work\, and engaging stage presence\, Doug brings a polished\, crowd-pleasing style to every performance. Offstage\, he’s known for his warm\, approachable personality and his belief in music’s power to connect and bring people together—something that shines through in every show. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYacht Rock Live is part of our ‘Tis the Season subscription series that also included Chiller Theatre: The Musical\, and Jesus Christ Superstar. \n\n\n\n\nYacht Rock Live \n\n\n\nFriday & Saturday\, June 5 & 6\, 2026\,  7:30pm \n\n\n\nSunday Matinee\, June 7\, 2026\, 2:00pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets\n\n\n\n\nTo arrange for handicapped accessible seating\, please call The Strand Box Office at 724.742.0400.

SUMMARY:Rick Sebak | A Few Good Moments | Sold Out!
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Rick’s 50 Years in Public Broadcasting with This Touching Retrospective and Talk-Back | Sold Out! \n\n\n\nIn July of 1976\, during the nation’s Bicentennial\, RICK SEBAK began his career in public broadcasting with a station in South Carolina. It’s quite poetic\, therefore\, that we get to help Rick celebrate his half century in public broadcasting during the 250th birthday of the good old U.S. of A! Rick’s colorful career brought him from SC to his permanent home at Pittsburgh’s WQED\, and includes a myriad of unusual TV shows and slightly wacky documentaries that showcase the various aspects of modern life as well as Pittsburgh’s unexpected charms. Rick will showcase some of his favorite moments with a video scrapbook pulled from his extensive library along with an intimate talk-back and Q&A. Proceeds from this program benefit WQED and The Strand. \n\n\n\n\n\nAudiences enjoy Rick’s friendly narrative style and the unusual topics that he obviously loves. Rick’s extensive body of work includes working with the Engineers Society of Western PA on a local program called Invented\, Engineered & Pioneered in Pittsburgh\, about our region’s long history and continuing prominence in many aspects of engineering\, to a national show for PBS titled A Ride Along The Lincoln Highway about the history and charms of America’s first coast-to-coast highway. His topics have famously included flea markets\, Pittsburgh’s Strip District\, “Sandwiches That You Will Like”\, pre-Disney amusement parks\, sporting events unique to Da ‘Burgh\, and\, of course\, the fan-favorite\, Things That Aren’t There Anymore. \n\n\n\nA satire site posted a joke recently\, “Rick Sebak Retires Due Running Out of Things to Document”. We all know that could never happen. His penchant for finding unique and intriguing aspects of life in Pittsburgh and around the country is a deep well that will never be capped! \n\n\n\nAt The Strand\, we are thrilled to welcome this local legend of storytelling as he presents an intimate retrospective of his incredible career. Rick will be sharing some video clips from his seemingly endless supply of TV shows\, favorite stories from the road\, and offering a talk-back and Q&A. From Isaly’s Ice Cream Parlors to streetcars to Kennywood Park\, and tales of Pittsburgh’s industrial legacy\, you can expect a sentimental journey down memory lane with Rick reviewing and his illustrious career. \n\n\n\nProceeds from ticket sales benefit WQED and the charitable Strand Theater Initiative. \n\n\n\n\nRick Sebak | A Few Good Moments | Sold Out!Video Retrospective & Talk-Back SessionSunday ONLY!June 14\, 2:00PM \n\n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets
