Over 60% of our plays go on to professional productions across the region, the country, and even the world.

THIS SUMMER, WE WILL DEVELOP OUR 100TH PLAY. 100 new plays borne of our playwrights, enriched by weeks of intensive work with professional directors, dedicated dramaturgs, and local actors, and further enhanced by the informed response of you, our audience. Over 60% of our plays go on to professional productions across the region, the country, and even the world. We do not take lightly the impact our work has had in Philadelphia, and are proud to have now found a home at The Drake, a theatre space we share with four other companies dedicated to new work. We invite you to join us from July 5-24 at our 2016 Annual Conference for six diverse and exciting plays, plus other opportunities for learning and discussion. There are additional play readings, classes for theatre artists and writers at all levels, and as we could not ignore the Democratic National Convention happening in our backyard, we will engage in an important dialogue about the intersection of theatre and politics. As always, our readings are free and open to the public. To provide this broad accessibility to our audience, we rely on tax-deductible donations from our friends and supporters. If you support PlayPenn this year at $125 or more, we will welcome you into our Donor Priority Access program, offering you early reservation and seating opportunities at Conference readings. This has been a great benefit for our events that historically fill up, commanding long waiting lists. I encourage you to read about the plays, classes, and symposium that comprise our 2016 Annual Conference. Then, please consider a donation to support PlayPenn as we nurture the writers and plays that will become the heralds of our time. We look forward to sitting alongside you in the theatre this summer.
