Get ready for an unforgettable conversation with the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust— powerhouse behind Pittsburgh’s vibrant Cultural District, home to four of Pittsburgh’s historic theatres!
10:00 am - 11:15 am
We'll kick off the first full day of the conference by doing what LHAT does best: sharing best practices from around the nation. We learned during the pandemic that LHAT Happy Hours were a way to stay connected and hear what others were doing to remain relevant in their communities. After a quick introduction, we'll divide into 4-5 smaller groups based on theatre demographics (TBA), so you can take a deep dive into any topic desired. Share things you have learned since the Milwaukee conference or ask questions about topics that are most important to your theatre's future success. Think of it as an in-person LHAT-CHAT Network!
