Celebrating and preserving the performing arts in Westmoreland County
Our mission
The Theatre Factory is a nonprofit organization dedicated to celebrating, preserving, and advancing the performing arts throughout Westmoreland County and the surrounding region. We provide a creative home for actors, singers, musicians, directors, designers, technicians, and artists of all ages and experience levels. Through theatrical productions, educational programs, and community partnerships, we strive to make the arts accessible to individuals and communities that may not otherwise have opportunities to experience live theatre and arts education. We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where creativity, collaboration, and artistic expression can thrive. Through youth programming, performance opportunities, and scholarships for local students, The Theatre Factory continues to enrich the cultural life of our region and inspire future generations of artists.

Jesus Christ Superstar is a rock opera is set against the backdrop of an extraordinary and universally known series of events, but seen, unusually, through the eyes of Judas Iscariot. Loosely based on the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, Superstar follows the last week of Jesus Christ’s life. The story, told entirely through song, explores the personal relationships and struggles between Jesus, Judas, Mary Magdalene, his disciples, his followers and the Roman Empire.
A new stage. A new home. A new chapter.
As we celebrate 30 incredible years in Trafford, we’re also looking ahead: this fall, The Theatre Factory will be moving to a new home at Aluminum City Arts in New Kensington. We are thrilled to join a vibrant, creative community and continue bringing bold, engaging theater to Westmoreland County in an exciting new space. More information about upcoming productions, programming, and the transition to the new space will be shared in the coming months.
