From Paige Price, Producing Artistic Director
Is it safe to say spring has finally arrived?
Our inaugural new fundraiser Play Brawl! took place on April 6th and was a spectacular success. Not only did we exceed our goal (thank you!), but we also garnered lots of fun press. Philadelphia Business Journal gave us a shout out, and Metro won the headline. Flip through our mini-album of Play Brawl! photos on Facebook.
You can also read or listen in on a recent interview I did with The Philadelphia Citizen.
Now that it’s trying to get warmer and summer beckons we are working behind the scenes to welcome you back to PTC in the fall. As you enjoy vacations and graduations we ask that you look forward and plan your subscriptions for next season. Book your dates now to be with us for Sweat, The Bridges of Madison County and How to Catch Creation. Casting for the season has been both exciting and inspiring, and we are nearly finished. We will make an announcement very soon and are thinking of holding a Summer Announcement Party. Would you come if we did? Send me a note here Paige Price.
Looking forward, all our subscribers and donors will be invited to get a glimpse into season planning when we bring back See & Be Scene on Mon., November 26th. This was our wildly successful evening where you had a chance to participate in the process. Your input during our first event was invaluable and literally helped us choose what’s coming to the stage of the Suzanne Roberts Theatre next season. We love sharing our ideas with you and want you to know that your thoughts matter.
