Community Forge is inviting its community of supporters to our first-ever fundraiser concert.

Come prepared to enliven your sense of community. Join us for a night of music, performance, storytelling, social connections, and celebrations.

We're raising funds toward the launch of The Forge Theater: a new regional cultural destination. With our partners at Bricolage Production Company, we are moving into our next phase at Community Forge, turning our long unoccupied basement into 130 person seated theater, community lounge, and cafe, serving as our new groundfloor.  We have big plans to make this more than a destination for entertainment, but a new type of hub to rebuild our social fabric and add to our community infrastructure.

Enjoy a dynamic evening, featuring jazz music led by Pittsburgh jazz legend, Howie Alexander, vocal sets by special music guests, real stories from the impact of our programs, interactive experiences designed with Bricolage Production Company, and tours of the new venue in progress. You'll leave feeling inspired, invigorated, and bonded to our community.

Let's build something amazing together!
