The first ever national performing arts convention runs today through Sunday here in Pittsburgh. Organizers hope to have a big local impact with 5,000 attendees from 1400 communities generating five million dollars in direct spending and five hundred thousand in taxes to the city. With some events open to residents of the region at highly discounted prices, they also hope to draw people who don't usually come to performances downtown. DUQ's Charlee Song Reports on why they're getting together and why they chose Pittsburgh. Listen to the full story here.
