Theatre Alliance of Greater Philadelphia

Plays and Players began in 1911 at the Art Alliance as a social club devoted to expanding and developing new theater experiences for and by its membership. In the 1960's, Plays and Players decided to "go public" and opened its productions to the entire community. Once an exclusive club, Plays & Players grew into a company in which local artists young and old practiced and performed their craft. In 2011-2012, Plays & Players will celebrate its 100th season of local and community focused performance in Philadelphia. A historic company existing in a vibrant modern arts scene, Plays & Players continues to change with the times, all the while keeping an eye on its rich and powerful past.
