Cash Unchained: The Music of Johnny Cash at the OAKS THEATER in Oakmont

Johnny Cash is unforgettable. Steady like a train, sharp like a razor, with the perfect blend of country, rock ‘n’ roll, and folk music, Cash
paved the way for artists of all genres for years to come.
Without Johnny Cash, we wouldn’t have the music we’ve all enjoyed over the past 6
decades.

Quantum Theatre's The River - Oct 7-30

The River is part mystery, part gothic thriller, and 100% homage to the art of trout fishing.  A man has brought a new girlfriend to a remote cabin in the woods, by a river.  So far, so straightforward, but the metaphors stack up, revealing what’s hidden there beside the real people in front of us and that real trout they’re going to have for supper.

Performed in Aspinwall Riverfront Park.
Want to Dine at the Docks? 
Immerse yourself in the fishing cabin in the woods and enjoy a pre-show dinner. Dine indoors or out by the Awe-Inspiring Allegheny River. Find out more about tickets and dinner options.
