April 8 – 13: Theatre By Development Clippings
new work, reading, workshop, festival
Showtimes Vary, Tickets Pay What You Will
CLIPPINGS is a night of short plays by young and emerging Philadelphia-based playwrights in a reading format for PHILLY THEATER WEEK.
This process is inspired by the Equinox New Play Festival at the late University of the Arts, where TBD’s Artistic Team met while working in undergrad! “Equinox” was a student run festival for students, by students, that allowed UArtists to take risks and experiment with different ways of producing theater. TBD aims to carry this tradition forward and continue to create a space for young creatives to enter the industry and discover their artistic voice.
CONTENT WARNING: Depictions of adult themes and strong language spanning across relevant social themes.
Showtimes Vary, Tickets Pay What You Can
In his first public appearance since his death in 1912, theatrical luminary and MENSA August Strindberg will be giving a brief lecture preceding a production of his landmark play, Miss Julie. Topics will include the future of theatre, the nature of men and women, class, mathematics, and cats.
