Theatre Alliance of Greater Philadelphia :: Your destination for theater in the Greater Philadelphia region
Description
The Theatre Alliance of Greater Philadelphia is a member-based service and leadership organization composed of non-profit professional theatres, individuals, and other affiliated organizations within the Greater Philadelphia region. The Theatre Alliance serves to strengthen and lead the region's richly diverse theatre community by promoting positive awareness and serving as a resource for information, professional development and advocacy.
The origins of the Theatre Alliance of Greater Philadelphia go back to 1990 with the creation of its predecessor organization, the Performing Arts League of Philadelphia (PALP). PALP was founded to expand awareness for all the performing arts in the Greater Philadelphia area. Through the years, PALP achieved its greatest success with programs specifically implemented for theatre. Among these programs are the Annual Auditions, instituted in 1991; The Barrymore Awards for Excellence in Theatre, Philadelphia's first comprehensive theatre awards program created in 1994; and the development of a shared patron database. Following a strategic planning process in the spring of 1997, the League's membership voted unanimously to concentrate its energies on theatre and to formally change its name to reflect this new focus.
The Greater Philadelphia Region is home to well over 100 producing theatres. Some are nationally renowned, and manage multi-million dollar budgets. Others are small, and endeavor to nurture and create new works. Each and every one contributes its unique voice to Philadelphia's arts community, adding to its richness and diversity, and helping to maintain its creative vitality. The Theatre Alliance of Greater Philadelphia is the only local service organization dedicated to serve all of these theatres, by promoting positive awareness of the art form, building audiences and strengthening the theatre community.
