Heritage Center Slates Architecture Talk Saturday

(Events)

McKeesport Heritage Center is following up last year's popular lecture on local architecture with a sequel tomorrow that covers more area landmarks.

"McKeesport Architecture: Part II" includes commercial, religious, residential and public buildings from 1900 to the present. The talk begins at 2 p.m. Saturday and is free.

Local historian and photographer John Barna, a member of the center's board of directors, and Executive Director Michelle Wardle-Eggers will highlight some structures (such as the People's Union Bank Building) that are still here, and others that have been demolished.

The Heritage Center is located at 1832 Arboretum Drive in Renziehausen Park. Call (412) 678-1832 or visit the website.

Renzie Concert Sunday: Watch out for slow-moving buggies on Sunday. The Smick Brothers are coming to town.

The Pittsburgh-based country-rock band --- who wear traditional Amish garb and use a reflective orange triangle as their symbol --- perform at the Renzie Park bandshell at 7 p.m. as part of the city's free summer concert series. (Don't worry, their electric guitars will be plugged in.)

Their repertoire includes songs made popular by the Rolling Stones, Van Morrison and the Doors, along with more modern hits from Jimmy Eat World, Train and Cake.

. . .

'Broadway' Wraps Sunday: The 2nd Stage Players of McKeesport Little Theater (formerly the MLT's "juniors") wraps up this year's musical revue called "Broadway on Coursin" with a matinee show on Sunday afternoon.

"Broadway on Coursin" features highlights from some of the most popular musicals of the last 50 years, including "Annie," "Disney's Aladdin," "Hairspray," "Spamalot" and "Bye, Bye Birdie."

Show times are 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $18 for adults or $7 for students.

The theater is located at 1614 Coursin St., near the Carnegie Library of McKeesport. Call (412) 673-1100 or visit the MLT's website.
