WELCOME! To Pittsburgh’s own civic roast! Now in its 11th year!

About us...! The Pittsburgh Newspaper Guild/CWA and Pittsburgh AFTRA have been staging this satirical look at Pittsburgh news, newsmakers and culture since 2001. OTR serves a dual purpose: raising money for charitable causes while providing high-quality, home-grown entertainment. For one night each year, volunteers from the local media and theater worlds donate their talents for an original musical comedy spoofing the issues that have made headlines during the prior year. Prominent figures such as Luke Ravenstahl, Mary Beth Buchanan and Dan Onorato are invited on stage for their own stabs at comedy and join in a reception both before and after the show at the Byham Theater. The event has raised $248,000 for the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank thus far and thousands more dollars each year for scholarships and special needs. Questions?
