Visit Duquesne University’s campus to see brand-new one-acts by playwrights from around the U.S. and beyond or bike down to Allegheny Commons Park West for the 33rd annual Pedal PGH — here’s what to do in Pittsburgh this weekend.

Visual Art
Philippines-born artist Ryan Frigillana explores the story of his family through the lens of land, labor and citizenship in “Tears, Blood, Sweat,” his new show at Silver Eye Center for Photography. Frigillana, whose work has been exhibited nationally, blends original photography with everything from collage to biblical illustrations. The exhibit opens with a reception on Thursday, Aug. 27, and continues through Nov. 7.

Theater
The venerable Pittsburgh New Works Festival teams with area stage troupes for four straight weekends of brand-new one-acts by playwrights from around the U.S. and beyond, all produced by local troupes. The plays, selected from among more than 200 submissions, roll out three to each weekly program, and each program gets four performances. Program A runs Thursday, Aug. 27, through Sunday, Aug. 30, and includes Baden, Pa. playwright Jeff DeSantis’ “The Harrowing of Hell,” which imagines a meeting between Jesus and Lucifer; it’s produced by McKeesport Little Theater. All shows are at Genesius Theater on the Duquesne University campus.

Festival
TV’s “Gabby’s Dollhouse” gets an interactive weekend at the Pittsburgh Children’s Museum. From Friday, Aug. 28, through Sunday, Aug. 30, the building hosts Gabby’s Dollhouse MEOWseum Discovery Days, a festival of storytelling and craftmaking, plus a dance party, scavenger hunt and costumed character meet-and-greets.

Music
The season has a few more outdoor festivals up its sleeve. This week it’s Spirit’s 9th annual Summer Recess Festival, a Saturday, Aug. 29, street fair and building-wide party in Lawrenceville. The all-afternoon, all-night ticketed event features nearly 20 local and nationally touring music acts on four indoor and outdoor stages, including Frankie & The Witch Fingers and Windows. Summer Recess also includes art and clothing vendors and food and drink offerings.

Visual Art
Photography is two centuries old, but artists are still inspired by one of its oldest forms: the cyanotope, with its distinctive rich blues. Associate Artists of Pittsburgh’s new group show, “The Light Divides and the Story Multiplies,” includes some 50 works by six artists putting cyanotype to new expressive ends. The exhibit, at AAP’s Ice House Studios, in Lawrenceville, opens with a reception Saturday, Aug. 29, and runs through Oct. 30.

Biking
By now you might have noticed the circular pink, blue and green placards fixed to stop signs and such that indicate Pedal PGH is upon us again. The 33rd annual fun ride for cyclists of all ages and aptitudes — a fundraiser for advocacy group Bike PGH — offers routes of 10, 25 and 53 miles. On Sunday, Aug. 30, each will traverse a different cross-section of the city. Allegheny Commons Park West is both the start and the site of the Finish Line Festival. And there’s still time to register.
