About Us

Mission:

Philadelphia Theatre Workshop strives to nurture bright and emerging artists at various stages of their careers. We will ignite Philadelphia by spotlighting communities of varying orientations, ethnicities, and age often underrepresented in the broader theatrical world. We are dedicated to reflecting diverse audiences through original, evocative programming. Philadelphia Theatre Workshop educates, invigorates, and entertains!

Philadelphia Theatre Workshop: Making better artists and audiences

History:

Initial conversations began in August 2003 between local directors Bill Felty and Robin Eisenberg, and Carol Murray, an Emmy-award winning producer. We became a non-profit corporation in March 2004, and a bona fide 501(c)(3) in January 2005. In 2008-2009 we present our fifth full season of productions.

Philadelphia Theatre Workshop presents Philadelphia premieres of high quality scripts that reflect diverse, contemporary human stories. Our plays are chosen because they present characters, situations, and perspectives not seen on other area stages.
