House Party: Mic Drop! at Kelly Strayhorn Theater

Kelly Strayhorn Theater's 18th annual benefit is reimagined as a karaoke fundraiser featuring an Immersive VIP Reception from 7:00–9:00pm with performances by Treasure Treasure, DS and Anqwenique Kinsel, and Bridgette Perdue. The event includes a Donate to Vote fundraising campaign in which celebrity singers WAMO 107.3 host Ki Ki B. Jones, Pittsburgh City Councilperson Erika Strassburger, Pastor Deryck Tines, and Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership President and CEO Jeremy Waldrup each compete in a karaoke challenge determined by audience donations. Beginning at 9:00pm, karaoke opens to all attendees and DJ Selecta spins for a Dance Party in the lobby. Funds raised support KST's Fall 2026 season, which includes performances by national artists, a visual art exhibition, youth and family programming, and the development of new performance work.
