Pittsburgh is a great theater city, not just for adults, but for children too. Especially each spring when the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust holds its annual EQT Children’s Theater Festival. Now in its 35th year, the Festival will be an at-home version again this year. Highlights include access to full-length performance streams, workshops with artists, a Frog Stop Scavenger Hunt and more fun, from both local and international artists and theater companies. The 2021 Festival includes four featured international shows: the interactive We Cover the Universe (United Kingdom), MacHomer (Canada), Aesop Bops! (United States), and University of Wonder and Imagination (Northern Ireland, also interactive). Fans of “The Simpsons,” both young and old, may enjoy MacHomer. Rick Miller’s one-man hit has him performing Shakespeare’s Macbeth using 50 vocal impressions of characters from the TV program.
