Theatre Philadelphia has announced the return of Philly Theatre Week, running from April 3 - 13, 2025. This 10-day celebration will feature over 50 events, showcasing the diverse and dynamic theatre community of the Greater Philadelphia region through a lineup of full-scale productions, readings, interactive events, and more. Whether you’re a seasoned theatre-goer, or looking to explore something brand new, Philly Theatre Week invites you to experience the excitement of live performance at venues within a 35-mile radius of City Hall. With offerings ranging from classic Shakespeare to world premiere plays, circus arts to family-friendly musicals, there are options for every interest.
“Philly Theatre Week is a time of year for Theatre Philadelphia and our Philly theatre community to spotlight the work we are continuously doing as a community,” says Executive Director, Sabriaya Shipley. “It invokes an opportunity to foster conversation, collaboration, and community building at various intersections of our artistic journeys and visions. Theatre Philadelphia is proud to be at the helm of initiating this spotlight for the past eight years and hopes to continue to do so with continued growth in our programmatic offerings and accessibility awareness in multiple areas of our community.”
All tickets for Philly Theatre Week events will be Pay What You Can (PWYC) again this year, making regional theatre more accessible than ever. This unique ticketing system allows audiences to select their own price, ensuring that cost is not a barrier to experiencing the arts. Each PWYC ticket sale directly supports participating theatre companies and artists. Please note that all Philly Theatre Week tickets are limited offerings outside of normal box office ticket sales. If a Philly Theatre Week option is sold out, you can visit the theatre's official website to find additional tickets.
Starting March 7, 2025, audiences can browse the full event schedule and reserve tickets by visiting www.phillytheatreweek.com. The fun begins with the kickoff event on March 31 at the Temple Performing Arts Center from 6 - 8:30 PM, bringing together artists and audiences to celebrate the start of Philly Theatre Week. Festivities include preview scenes, songs, and interactive performances from participating 2025 Philly Theatre Week companies, and a keynote address (speaker TBA).
