Philadelphia Dramatist Center

Philadelphia Dramatist Center

Mission:

Philadelphia Dramatist Center is an organization of playwrights, artists, and audience members that develops and fosters new dramatic works from conception through production. We provide access to resources, critical feedback, and expert guidance. 

We create accessible, equitable, and collaborative environments for dramatists, directors, actors, designers, and producers from the Greater Philadelphia arts community. Together we form meaningful relationships through development programs, workshops, reading series, and performances.

Social Justice:

Social justice is a moral imperative that requires immediate and persistent action, follow through, and solidarity. Change is propelled by art & inspired by creating spaces where communities come together, barriers are broken, and voices heard. Inclusion and empathy require specific and dynamic actions. To this end: we reject inequities and injustice; we recognize emerging perspectives; and we commit to diverse representation in our work, governance and membership.
