PAC's Spring Appeal is Underway!

Our 2021-22 season began with a challenge.

The plot of QvK, PAC’s tenth Philadelphia Fringe Production, centered on a monologue competition to determine which character archetype in classical theatre is most compelling, with a year’s supply of coffee from Fante’s Kitchen Shop at stake. While QvK did not end with a clear victory, you can help us conclude this season with a win:

Fante’s Kitchen Shop has generously offered a $2,500 matching grant to support
PAC’s end-of-year campaign.

Your support has enabled PAC to safely resume in-person programming this season. We've brought you original plays and swordplay in the Bardascino Park bocce ball court, free classical presentations of the Venture Reading Series, and our 2nd New Venture Play Festival of world premiere short plays. We even created new programs, like Classic Slam!, an evening of poetry celebration Black poetry and excellence.

And with your help, PAC is poised to present our most ambitious season yet!

​Each and every contribution is gratefully accepted! Your gifts make it possible for PAC to continue providing affordable classical theatre experiences. 
​The lineup includes two new collaborations: a full production with the circuit, a Black led, community driven, multidisciplinary company committed to the beauty of Black stories, and a reading with Theatre Ariel, Philadelphia’s only Jewish Theatre company dedicated to illuminating the rich social, cultural, and spiritual heritage of the Jewish people. Plus, our New Ventures Play Festival returns with the intriguing theme "The Illusion of Time."
