Schenley Plaza
Shows at 4pm & 8pm
Schenley Plaza
Shows at 4pm & 8pm
GO Roadshow is “a musical street spectacle on wheels”. This show-making machine is a 34-foot long monster truck retrofitted with truck-horn calliope, a wall made of rotors and a spinning grand piano that is played while it wheels around! Each show starts with a shameless parade of peacock trumpets, spinning drums, accordion, sousaphone and glockenspiel. GO is a music and art-mobile – a rolling ruckus that opens up like a mechanical blossom to make the street a vibrant place where people can share a community of the imagination. Night shows include video projected on a rotor screen made of movement itself, and on a blimp that has a mouth that opens in a call to celebration. We are drawing from the great American history of traveling circuses, Shriner and holiday parades, medicine shows, and used car lot events that vitalized the heartland of this country.

Adults only: Carnegie Science Center
I recently attended the inaugural 21+ night at CSC.
That's right - no kids allowed!
Have you ever considered the thought of being at the Science Center and actually reading about an exhibit instead of worrying if you have enough food & drink for the duration of your stay, or know where every bathroom is, and spending time somewhere other than the ball factory? :)
Than this is the night for you!
Take in every detail of the Touring Exhibition of The National GUITAR Museum.
Yes, we did spend time in the train room. It was rather....peaceful. :)
What? You thought the 4th floor would be empty?
Nope, there were plenty of adults trying their hand at:
And don't forget about splashing at the water table!
Yep, we all need some kid's fun sometimes.
Check their calendar for more upcoming 21+ nights!
I attended with our university student from China who is staying with us for the month of August. She gave it a thumb's up! We especially enjoyed a short show at the Buhl Digital Planetarium!
