OLLI members are invited to take part in a variety of activities offered by other partners in learning. We are continually adding new opportunities, so review this section often.
Cheap Seats through Pitt Arts
Pitt Arts connects students with the cultural life of Pittsburgh and provides the Cheap Seats program, which makes discounted tickets to cultural events available to staff, faculty, and students, including OLLI members. Cultural organizations including the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Manchester Craftsmen's Guild Jazz Concerts, City Theatre, and Pittsburgh Opera are among those participating. This is a self-serve ticketing service. Instructions and reservation forms are located outside the Pitt Arts office at 929 William Pitt. Fill out the form, attach payment (cash, check, or debit or credit card) and deposit everything in the box. Generally, you may purchase up to four tickets for each event. (OLLI members pay the student fee for tickets.) Your tickets will be waiting for you at the appropriate venue. Visit www.pitt.edu/~pittarts/
