The work of Philadelphia area student playwrights will be brought to life on stage during Philadelphia Young Playwrights' 2010 Professional Productions, presented by PNC Arts Alive, from March 2 - 5, 2010.

Azuka Theatre continues its 10th Anniversary Season with its second Azuka Lounge of the season. Geared toward audiences with an eye for a little levity and something other than Cupid's arrows around Valentine's Day, the third annual 'I Love You, I Hate You' Azuka Lounge brings a group of local actors together to perform melodramatic readings from City Paper's weekly 'I Love You, I Hate You' column.

From February 3 - 6, Philadelphia Young Playwrights (PYP), in collaboration with Philadelphia's InterAct Theatre Company, will present four staged performances by winning student writers from the 2010 Young Voices High School Monologue Festival.

Arden Theatre Company will extend the run of Peter Pan through Sunday, January 31, 2010 due to popular demand.

The Arden's children theater production of Peter Pan may be for kids, but adults will still be enthused. As a fan and scholar of Peter Pan I was incredibly interested to see this adaptation. Often, children's theater takes classic books and dummies them down for kids to the point where they are barely recognizable. This is not the case in this production.

Arden Theatre Company's 2009/10 children's theatre series begins with an all-new adaptation of Peter Pan. Ever since J.M. Barrie's story first appeared in 1904, countless versions have been produced on stage and in film. Now, Arden Children's Theatre presents a brand-new adaptation; one that celebrates the wonder of storytelling and the power of make-believe. Recommended for families with children ages five and older, every performance includes a post-show question and answer session with the cast, an opportunity to meet the cast in the lobby after the performance, and a free commemorative show poster for all kids. This production is sponsored by PECO.
