Kelly Strayhorn Theater invites you to join us in honoring the enduring vision of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. through The Beloved Community — a day of unity, reflection, and creative expression. This annual celebration brings together artists, neighbors, and changemakers to uplift Dr. King’s dream of justice, compassion, and shared humanity.
Begin the day with engaging activities in KST’s lobby with community partners. Check out After the Dream, an exhibition of portraits celebrating past and future freedom fighters with MLK’s legacy, created by Morgan Overton in the KST Gallery. Then gather in the theater for inspiring performances that celebrate Dr. King’s legacy while imagining a more equitable future for Pittsburgh and beyond. Featuring performances by Hill Dance Academy Theatre, Aryana Kapree, Pastor Deryck Tines, and the Lemington Gospel Chorale and students from ARYSE, with Rev. Dr. Michael Diaz of East Liberty Presbyterian Church guiding the day’s celebration. Together, we honor the power of art to build connection and the collective spirit of the Beloved Community.
