With a kick-off event on the rooftop of the Kimmel Center on March 30th.
"Our first in-person event since COVID," says Miller-White.
For Miller-White, it will also be her first in-person event since coming on board in 2020.
"It's very exciting," says Miller-White.
She also runs Theatre in the X, and says theater didn't miss a beat.
"Being able to pivot to virtual and now having that as a mainstay," says Miller-White."
"As a disabled performer and somebody who works in accessible spaces, it's been nice," says Linden Curhart.
Curhart is Co-Directing and Performing in The Hum'n'bards Theater Troupe's all-virtual Tower of Babel.
"It's a cross-cultural, queer spiritual experience," says Curhart.
The musical collective helped debut the Painted Mug Cafe back in January.
A brand-new disability accessible queer space that is primarily sober," says Curhart.
And Sing Out Louise! is a collaboration between the two groups.
"Which is a tribute to Chicago," says Curhart.
This is the fifth annual Philly Theater week.

And there's something for everyone, from contemporary pieces, like Wheelz of Life by Nubienne Productions.

To a Golden Girls Murder Mystery by Without A Cue Productions.
