FREE! And and all donations will be split between Acting Without Boundaries and The Philadelphia Artists' Collective.
A classic "comedy of manners" advertised as the first truly American play, THE CONTRAST follows a tangle of almost-marriages and seductions, satirizing European snobbery against plain-spoken (if rough-hewn) "Yankee" manners.
Honorary Producer: Becky Bradbeer
Acting Without Boundaries aims to transform lives and build self-esteem in an empowered community of people with physical disabilities through theater that celebrates ability. www.actingwithoutboundaries.org
The Philadelphia Artists’ Collective (PAC) creates vibrant theatrical events that challenge the expectations of classical theatre. This diverse cohort of theatre artists stages rarely produced texts with visceral clarity in intentional spaces.
PAC unearths essential stories, expands the classical canon, and inspires audiences to lean in and engage with our shared human experience. www.philartistscollective.org
