Looks like Kylie in the graphic - is that coincidence?

The question is: What do you like? There's plenty to see and do around the city. To narrow the field, here are a few things you might consider: * In the Cultural District (Downtown Pittsburgh) on Tuesday nights, there are free outdoor jazz performances at the corner of Seventh Street and Penn Avenue from 5-7pm. Bassist Dwayne Dolphin is playing on the 17th. The free JazzLive series moves into the Backstage Bar right next door from 7-10pm. www.pgharts.org * Before 6pm when the gallery closes, you can then check out Wood Street Galleries in the Cultural District for the newest installation by Michael Hardesty. They're also open on Wed. (ARTSINPGH video to come). Down the street is a great photo exhibit called Conflict at SPACE gallery. www.woodstreetgalleries.org and www.spacepittsburgh.org * Afterwards, you can pick between seeing Camelot at the Benedum Center or Chicago at Heinz Hall--if you like musical theater. Both are beautifully restored theaters. www.culturaldistrict.org * If you're looking for something a little more offbeat, check out City Theatre's comedy, The Male Intellect: An Oxymoron?, on the hip South Side where bars and nightlife abound. www.citytheatrecompany.org * Lastly, you might consider a trip to Phipps Conservatory to see the Dale Chihuly glass sculptures set inside lush botanical gardens. A visit at night is well worth it. www.phipps.conservatory.org Whatever you may decide, I hope you have a great stay in Pittsburgh. Thanks for posting on ARTSINPGH. Bon Voyage!

Quick question:

I’m going to be in Pittsburgh for one day starting on the evening of Tuesday, July 17. If you had to recommend one arts-related event or show for me to attend, what would it be?

Much thanks in advance!
