Stay tuned for more details on this community-driven art experience. \nMore about Zach Rutter: \n\n\n\n\nZachary Rutter\, a seasoned artist and muralist from Pittsburgh\, Pennsylvania\, infuses his work with vibrant colors and optimistic imagery\, aiming to spread messages of love and positivity. His artistic journey began at a pivotal moment in childhood when he stumbled upon a Spider-Man comic in a toy store. The overwhelming joy and fascination he experienced holding that comic ignited a lifelong passion for art. For over a decade\, Rutter has embraced this calling with unwavering dedication\, knowing deep within that art found him and will remain an integral part of his identity for the rest of his days. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBeyond his studio practice\, Rutter extends his creativity to community initiatives\, painting free fridges to bring both color and food to the lives of people in need. His commitment to global outreach led him to spend two weeks painting murals at a schoolhouse in Ghana\, inspiring the children of the village through art. Additionally\, he dedicates much of his time to live painting at various charitable organizations and fundraisers\, supporting causes such as Best Buddies\, The Pens Foundation\, The Ronald McDonald House\, Hope for Ghana\, and more. Through his art and philanthropy\, Rutter continues to make a meaningful impact\, spreading hope and joy wherever his brush touches. https://www.zacharyrutterart.com/ \n\n\n\n\n____________ \n\n\n\n\nAt Eberle Studios we believe in supporting artists and the possibilities of clay as a medium in Fine Art.

His artistic journey began at a pivotal moment in childhood when he stumbled upon a Spider-Man comic in a toy store. The overwhelming joy and fascination he experienced holding that comic ignited a lifelong passion for art.

His commitment to global outreach led him to spend two weeks painting murals at a schoolhouse in Ghana\, inspiring the children of the village through art. Additionally\, he dedicates much of his time to live painting at various charitable organizations and fundraisers\, supporting causes such as Best Buddies\, The Pens Foundation\, The Ronald McDonald House\, Hope for Ghana\, and more.

SUMMARY:Sad Boys in Harpy Land at Glitterbox Theater
DESCRIPTION:Sad Boys in Harpy Land at Glitterbox Theater \n“A THRILLING & FRENETIC MENTAL BREAKDOWN OF A SHOW” (NYT) \nEqual parts anxious clown show\, demented cabaret\, and extended crisis of meaning\, Sad Boys in Harpy Land collages narratives of art making and despair into an unhinged solo performance that takes place in the hellscape of the mind. \nAfter sold-out runs everywhere from Off-Broadway to multiple basements\, self-proclaimed “experimental clown artist” Alex Tatarsky brings their (dubiously) hit show Sad Boys in Harpy Land to The Glitterbox! Embracing the spiral\, the unfinished\, and the broken bits\, the piece attempts to move through the inaction born of anxiety\, shame\, and overwhelm towards strange & ecstatic modes of re-writing the world together. \nCreated & Performed by Alex Tatarsky \nLive Music by Shane Riley \nDirected by Iris McCloughan \nScenic\, Costumes\, Props Design by Andreea Mincic \nLighting Design by Masha Tsimring \nDeveloped with Eva Steinmetz \nCalled a “hilarious\, finely tuned absurdist” (Theatre Jones) and “outrageous and profane” (NYT)\, Alex Tatarsky makes performances in the uncomfortable in-between zone of comedy\, dance-theater\, performance art\, and deluded rant–sometimes with songs. Tatarsky experienced fleeting fame as Andy Kaufman’s daughter and used to perform as a mound of dirt. Playing with perceptions of language and narrative structure\, their live performances are highly responsive to venue and audience. They are currently touring their composting clown show Dirt Trip. Past shows include: Americana Psychobabble (La Mama\, MoMA PS1)\, Untitled Freakout (The Kitchen)\, MATERIAL (The Whitney Museum) and Buttplug Gnome (Gibney). At the Poetry Project\, they organized a series on the poetics of rot. @tartar.biz \nSad Boys in Harpy Land was commissioned by Abrons Arts Center through the Jerome Foundation AIRspace Residency Program. Playwrights Horizons\, Inc\, in New York City produced the NYC Off Broadway Premiere of Sad Boys in Harpy Land in 2023. Sad Boys in Harpy Land received development support through FringeArts\, the Jilline Ringle Solo Performance Program at 1812 Productions\, Poetry Electric at La Mama\, MAAS and Cannonball Festival. \nPhoto by Maria Baranova \n$15 Presale/$20 Door\nDoors open at 7pm

SUMMARY:Sad Boys in Harpy Land at Glitterbox Theater
DESCRIPTION:Sad Boys in Harpy Land at Glitterbox Theater \n“A THRILLING & FRENETIC MENTAL BREAKDOWN OF A SHOW” (NYT) \nEqual parts anxious clown show\, demented cabaret\, and extended crisis of meaning\, Sad Boys in Harpy Land collages narratives of art making and despair into an unhinged solo performance that takes place in the hellscape of the mind. \nAfter sold-out runs everywhere from Off-Broadway to multiple basements\, self-proclaimed “experimental clown artist” Alex Tatarsky brings their (dubiously) hit show Sad Boys in Harpy Land to The Glitterbox! Embracing the spiral\, the unfinished\, and the broken bits\, the piece attempts to move through the inaction born of anxiety\, shame\, and overwhelm towards strange & ecstatic modes of re-writing the world together. \nCreated & Performed by Alex Tatarsky \nLive Music by Shane Riley \nDirected by Iris McCloughan \nScenic\, Costumes\, Props Design by Andreea Mincic \nLighting Design by Masha Tsimring \nDeveloped with Eva Steinmetz \nCalled a “hilarious\, finely tuned absurdist” (Theatre Jones) and “outrageous and profane” (NYT)\, Alex Tatarsky makes performances in the uncomfortable in-between zone of comedy\, dance-theater\, performance art\, and deluded rant–sometimes with songs. Tatarsky experienced fleeting fame as Andy Kaufman’s daughter and used to perform as a mound of dirt. Playing with perceptions of language and narrative structure\, their live performances are highly responsive to venue and audience. They are currently touring their composting clown show Dirt Trip. Past shows include: Americana Psychobabble (La Mama\, MoMA PS1)\, Untitled Freakout (The Kitchen)\, MATERIAL (The Whitney Museum) and Buttplug Gnome (Gibney). At the Poetry Project\, they organized a series on the poetics of rot. @tartar.biz \nSad Boys in Harpy Land was commissioned by Abrons Arts Center through the Jerome Foundation AIRspace Residency Program. Playwrights Horizons\, Inc\, in New York City produced the NYC Off Broadway Premiere of Sad Boys in Harpy Land in 2023. Sad Boys in Harpy Land received development support through FringeArts\, the Jilline Ringle Solo Performance Program at 1812 Productions\, Poetry Electric at La Mama\, MAAS and Cannonball Festival. \nPhoto by Maria Baranova \n$15 Presale/$20 Door\nDoors open at 7pm

SUMMARY:Dusty Slay: The Neighborhood Guy Tour LIVE at Carnegie of Homestead Music Hall *LIVE Standup Comedy*
DESCRIPTION:Dusty Slay: The Neighborhood Guy Tour\n\n\nFriday\, January 23rd\, 2026 | This event is for all ages. \n\n\n\n\n\nOutback Presents & Drusky Entertainment presents: \nDusty Slay \nFriday\, January 23rd\, 2026 \nDoors: 6:00PM / Show: 7:00PM \nCarnegie of Homestead Music Hall (Munhall\, PA) \n*All tickets subject to day of show price increase. Prices at the ticket link reflect the all-in ticket price (face value + fees) – minus any taxes / credit card processing fees. \nThis event is for all ages. \nYou can take the boy out of the trailer park\, but you can’t take the trailer park out of the boy… stand-up comedian Dusty Slay grew up on Lot 8 of a mobile home neighborhood in Opelika\, Alabama\, with a love for both classic country and rock and a career history peppered with jobs like waiting tables and selling pesticides. Now the Alabama native with the “We’re having a Good Time” attitude is hitting cities all across the country playing comedy clubs and selling out theaters filled with fans eager to imitate his signature Wave. \nThe trucker hat\, long hair and mustache\, flannel shirt and oversized glasses aren’t affectations to cultivate a stage persona as the B-side of a 1970s Bob Seger track—it’s just Dusty. As a young boy\, growing up in a trailer park\, Dusty never felt like he was poor. He didn’t even know folks were better off than him until he went to school and was the only kid whose home address said “Lot 8 Moore’s Trailer Park”. In his comedy he reflects\, “We never felt poor\, we just didn’t have everything growing up. Like instead of ice cream\, my mom would just pour milk into a bowl and then she’d call us in the room and say ‘welp\, you’re too late!’” Raised by a single mother with two daughters from a previous marriage\, Dusty’s unique family home was never lacking for warmth or love. His father\, always present in his life from the very beginning\, made sure to show him the simple joys of boyhood adventure. “We never had real pets growing up\, we just had prisoners of nature. A dog would wander up\, we’d chain it to a tree. Now he’s ours.” \nAs he came of age and started joining the workforce\, Dusty had many jobs. He had multiple stints as a dishwasher and waiter at restaurants and food chains like Papa Johns\, Jim Bob’s Chicken Fingers as well as a couple tours with Western Sizzlin’ and the historic Hyman’s Seafood. He spent 8 years as a pesticide salesman selling to hardware chains like Lowes and Home Depot. “A lot of people would come up to me and ask weird questions like\, we want something that’s gonna kill the insects but not harm the environment. I’d say well\, ‘How bout a shoe’. Cause I’m selling pesticides here.” In 2001\, Dusty bought back his childhood home\, the trailer that he grew up in. At this time he made plans to join the army\, but an untimely arrest for marijuana possession disrupted those plans. Later that September terrorists attacked the World Trade Center in New York and months after the country was at war. “Everything happens for a reason” says Dusty. After a few years of improv classes\, in 2008 Dusty was inspired to try his hand at stand-up comedy where he found his true calling. He won the Charleston Comedy Competition and was named Charleston City Paper’s Stand Up Comedian of the year in his then hometown two years in a row. In 2014 he made the move to Nashville and made Comedy a full-time gig touring comedy clubs all across the country. \nThe Nashville scene welcomed Dusty with open arms and at age 36\, Slay became the youngest comedian at the time to ever perform on the legendary Grand Ole Opry stage. To date he’s logged dozens of appearances in front of “his people” on the historic stage in the last few years fully embedding himself in the country music scene and having been asked to host some of the biggest events across the subculture\, including Hangover Fest at the ACMs in Las Vegas in 2022 and CMA Fest’s Forever Country Stage with the likes of Scotty McCreery\, Dustin Lynch\, Lainey Wilson and some of the most iconic names in the genre. \nIt wasn’t long before his comedy caught the attention of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon where he’s since performed 6 unforgettable late-night sets\, firmly establishing himself as a crowd favorite and bona fide star on the silver screen. His breakout performances launched him into the Netflix family featuring as one of six comics in season 3 of The Stand Ups\, highlighting the brightest new comedians at the top of their game in ½-hour stand-up comedy formats. Dusty made his solo Netflix debut January 2024 with his first one-hour special\, WORKIN’ MAN\, celebrating his many years as a “road dog” comic\, and the material he’s honed and crafted\, reflecting on his trailer park upbringing\, the hilarious nuance of hourly shift work and the amusing idiosyncrasies of everyday life. \nWORKIN’ MAN opened to tremendous success on the Netflix platform paving the way for partnerships and collaborations with iconic brands like Cracker Barrel\, Lugz and Field & Stream. Appearances on Hollywood Squares with Drew Barrymore as well as trending podcasts like This Past Weekend with Theo Von and Kill Tony have continue to raise Dusty’s profile from Nashville legend to mainstream comedy hero. In the summer of ’25\, Dusty released his latest Netflix special WET HEAT\, a love letter to the south sharing his experiences traveling the country and getting into mischief in the hot and muggy regions he’s always called home.
