Up, up, and away! It's a new "Theme Show" 

Penny Arcade is calling all super-fans and junior experts to discover funny new worlds with the debut of monthly Theme Shows! These matinee shows will debut on-topic improv games, themed crafts, and other partnerships to explore comedy in fun new worlds! 

Starting with SUPERHEROES, kids will get to use their imagination to inspire super powers, come up with new heroes, and draw secret lairs for performers to explore.

Penny Arcade: Pay As You Wish Option

Arcade Comedy Theater believes that all families should be able to enjoy live theater in downtown Pittsburgh. Thanks to a grant from the PNC Charitable Trust, Penny Arcade is now "pay as you wish!" Tickets have a suggested price of $5 for kids and $10 for adults. You can decide how much you'd like to pay per ticket to see this fun, family-friendly show. Reserving tickets in advance is always a good idea, just in case our shows sell out. But if you'd prefer to come to the theater and get tickets at the box office, you can always do that as well. They'll still be "pay as you wish."
