People often ask us what it is we do? The short answer is, we are Philly Theatre’s biggest cheerleaders!

From increasing visibility to productions happening around the region, leading crucial programs like the Barrymores and Philly Theatre Week, to creating and facilitating equitable change with our Anti-Racism Action Committee, we are here for artists, theaters and audiences alike.

What are we up to? We Moved!

We are among the many new tenants at the Village of Industry and Art in April 2026. We are looking forward to having an office located on the Avenue of the Arts to continue our work!

We’re celebrating Philly Theatre Week - April 23 - May 3rd!

We successfully wrapped the 9th Annual Philly Theatre Week "Pay What You Can" ticketing model to create access and encourage audience members to try theater for the first time, or try a new company they’ve never attended before.

We’re continuing to present the Barrymore Awards!

We’re excited to prepare for the Barrymore Awards in Fall 2026 to honor and recognize a year of theatre! Stay tuned for location and nominations announcements!
We continue to work with our Barrymore Oversight Committee to make the awards process more inclusive.

With more than 100 theaters and independent producers in our region, we’re excited to showcase all the ways in which theatre continues to thrive. We remain dedicated to the artists, audiences, and producers that make Philadelphia a world-renowned theatre destination.

Support our efforts and join us in the celebration of our vibrant Philly Theater Community!
