The Cabaret at Theater Square
Home to fantastic musical productions, late-night entertainment, live music, and outstanding food, the Cabaret at Theater Square is the Cultural District’s newest performance venue providing unique live music and theatrical performances year-round.
On an ordinary day at the Shear Madness hair salon, the regulars stop by for their weekly set and style, a little gossip or an old-fashioned shave. But when a scissor job gone bad leaves the upstairs landlady dead as a doornail, the crazy company of customers and stylists below find themselves locked in and fingered for murder.
Full of mischief and mayhem, constantly snappy and sassy and bursting with up-to-the-minute laughs, Shear Madness brings a wacky cast of characters to life before your eyes! The outcome is different at every show because the audience gets to comb through the clues and solve the crime in America's favorite whodunit comedy!
The Cabaret Menu features delicious appetizers, entrees, desserts and drinks for a complete cabaret experience. Shear Madness ticket holders may simply arrive up to 90 minutes before curtain to enjoy food & beverage service inside the theater. No additional reservations are needed, and service is available before the show as well as during intermission. Late Night patrons enjoy service the whole night through.
Theater Square is located at 655 Penn Avenue, between the O’Reilly Theater and Katz Plaza. You can also conveniently park in the Theater Square Garage to make your visit a breeze. The garage entrance is on Seventh Street, between Ft. Duquesne Boulevard and Penn Avenue. From the garage lobby you can either turn right to enter through the main doors on Penn Avenue or, if you turn left, simply walk along the driveway between the WQED Carol M. Byham Studio and Katz Plaza and enter through the Backstage Bar doors.
Hours of Operation: The Backstage Bar is open to the public beginning at 5pm weeknights and at noon on Saturdays and Sundays. The Cabaret Theater generally features ticked events unless otherwise noted.
