Pisa is a small, but culturally lively city which offers various leisure opportunities for university students, who can further profit from many price reductions in cinema, theatre and concert tickets.
Numerous theatrical and musical seasons are organised every year, from those more traditional, such as at Teatro Verdi, to those more alternative such as at Teatro Sant'Andrea or Cinema Teatro Lux. Furthermore, Cascina and Pontedera, not far from Pisa, are renowned centres of theatrical research and experimentation.
The Concert Seasons by the Scuola Normale of Pisa provide a programme of first-rate classical music, accompanied by meetings and seminars where the public have the chance to meet performers.
Besides the various mainstream, commercial cinemas, there is also the Arsenale association that runs a Cineclub with selective, choice programming. This association has long been collaborating with the University in the organisation of events and seminars, and grants student access to a well equipped media library.
Pisa also has a number of active cultural clubs, associations and social centres that organise theatre, music and dance courses. Many of these offer refreshments and the possibility of enjoying and participating in live music and theatrical performances.
