THIS WEEKEND: Dance meets theatre in this original full-length work by The Space Upstairs’ newest Resident Artist Mia Giovanna Kuzma.

Through comedy, drama, and soundscapes, we follow a woman as she walks into the memories of her time spent in a psych ward. She encounters the fragments of her ego and struggles to accept them as they are. Ultimately, they are the catalyst for her to embrace change and step into a new chapter of her life. Join Kuzma and her troupe of eclectic characters in a night of ups and downs, twists and turns.
​
THE 8th FLOOR is the transient landscape in which we all will find ourselves at one point or another. This work asks of us: “what will it take for you to discover an urgency for life?”​​​​

MAY 23 & 24, 2026
9pm | $15 general admission / $10 student
*purchasing tickets in advance is strongly encouraged!

THIS WEEKEND: We close out the spring season of the 20th anniversary season of The Space Upstairs with our signature jazz-happening SECOND SATURDAY featuring this month’s special music guests CONTINUUM!

It’s light bulbs and couches, coffee tables and deconstructed pianos, piles of chalk and books. It’s vivid splashes of light and projection and poetry scribbled on the walls. And improvisational postmodern-jazz dance performances by The Pillow Project with live jazzed music throughout the night!

- Doors open 8p | Music 9-11p | $15 at the door -
* pre-sale tickets at link in bio

Hosted by Jaka Zakajinn with different musical guests each month, SECOND SATURDAYS are modern speakeasy-magic and spontaneous art in our 4,000 sq/ft warehouse-gallery loft-space... And it’s one of Pittsburgh’s best kept secrets!

*SECOND SATURDAYS is proudly a sober event and serves several house infused waters, mocktails, specialty iced coffees and other seasonal drinks and refreshments by donation at The Space Bar.
