2018 Philly Theatre Week Re-Cap

This past February, the inaugural Philly Theatre Week kicked off across the region, with over 250 performances, 80 unique events, and 70 participating organizations. This week, at Theatre Philadelphia’s Theatre Week wrap-up and open forum, we invited community members, as well as 2018 Theatre Week participants and audiences, to examine the impact of this new initiative. 

After sharing aggregated data, production and audience feedback, and upcoming plans to make Philly Theatre Week bigger and better, we announced the dates of the 2019 Philly Theatre Week!
