Featuring cuisine, sounds and activities paying tribute to the artists of the Kelly Strayhorn’s World Stage, the signature benefit bash showcases the artistic vision and international companies the theater has brought to its stage for Pittsburgh audiences.

This bash is also a party with a purpose because all proceeds go to supporting the theater’s accessible programming for families, residents and youth in the East Liberty community.

Ready to bloom? Dress up or dress down, but come ready to dance. Ramping up the festivities for the seventh annual edition of Full Bloom will be the event’s first on-stage dance party. Get a colorful henna tattoo and then jump onto the stage and groove to global beats spun by Pittsburgh’s own DJ Pandemic.
