The League of Historic American Theatres 49th Annual Conference and Theatre Tour will be held in Pittsburgh, July 20-23, 2025.

Look for more details coming in the Spring, but for now, save the date and plan to join us for the nation's largest gathering of historic theatre operators. We'll announce a call for education session proposals later this week as well as sponsorship opportunities.

We are thrilled to be hosted at a spectacular historic hotel in walking distance to some of Pittsburgh's finest historic theatres. Great city. Great hotel. Great theatres. Great people. This one will be historic indeed!

The League's national conference is the largest annual gathering of historic theatre professionals, community leaders, and service providers and suppliers, attracting participants from across the U.S. and Canada for ideasharing and network building. Professionals, volunteers and devotees join together for four days of networking and peer information exchange, tools & techniques sessions, and tours of local historic theatres, plus events, banquets and receptions.

By defining our field, creating a shared vocabulary and identifying best practices, the educational components of the League's annual conference strengthen efforts to sustain historic theatres of various sizes, operating structures and programming philosophies. During theatre tours, docents emphasize how each venue has dealt with the specific challenges of sustaining their operations to serve their communities, now and in the future.
