Attack Theatre’s 212 Stories - In partnership with MCG Jazz and Lawrenceville United

212 Stories is a dance event inspired by the rich history of the building (212 45th Street) that we now call home. A former YMCA and Pittsburgh Boys Club from the early 1900s — this building becomes both the venue and the impetus for a world-premiere performance that honors the stories that have echoed through its halls for more than a century. Presented in partnership with MCG Jazz this production will feature original live music and jazz standards as the soundscore for the decades.

In a space once filled with the energy of young learners, playing and growing; a gym for dancing and dating, and a basement of boxing and bowling; we now learn, move, connect, and create. Through 212 Stories we invite you to experience how the stories of the past and the new ones we are building — through dance and music — can transform a space and bring a community together.

Why do we tell stories? To shape culture, to guide, to connect.
