The Geyer Performing Arts Center has enjoyed over 100 years as Scottdale’s premier cultural center. The building has a rich and colorful history and continues to hold a long standing tradition as a community gathering place.
Originally known as the Geyer Opera House, The Geyer Performing Arts Center was the cultural vision of Andrew Geyer, who was the son of a local hotel proprietor. Mr. Geyer built the theater in 1900 and was very successful in establishing the Opera House as a popular social venue which had the honor of hosting many notable theatrical and musical performers. Most famous of its guests were William Jennings Bryan and Nanette Fabray.
Since 1988 we have operated in partnership with our resident production company, Actors and Artists of Fayette County to produce quality theatrical entertainment. All of our productions are directed, built, staffed, played and performed by members of our community and the surrounding area. We draw audiences and performers from Fayette, Westmoreland, Allegheny, Washington and Greene counties.
