A vibrant, diverse and distinctive theater town
In the last quarter century, Philadelphia has witnessed a huge growth of professional theater activity, and more than 125 productions now originate in Philadelphia in a season. Philadelphia has become a vibrant, diverse and distinctive theater town.
More than 20 professional theater companies produce an enormous variety of events for all tastes and ages through a season running year-round.

Numerous smaller theaters specialize in adventuresome work culminating each September during the
Fringe Festival
