Philadelphia Theatre Company Warms Hearts This Holiday Season with Princess Concert and Sing-Along 12/17

Philadelphia Theatre Company welcomes everyone's favorite princesses for a heart-warming afternoon concert for the entire family. During A Dream Is A Wish: Holiday Princess Concert audiences will sing-along with a gathering of princesses from popular movie musicals and television shows in a one day only event, Sunday, December 17 at 3:15pm. Children are encouraged to come dressed as their favorite prince or princess. After the show, there will be a meet-and-greet reception with holiday cookies, apple cider and photo opportunities. The Holiday Princess Concert will take place at Philadelphia Theatre Company at the Suzanne Roberts Theatre (480 S. Broad Street). Tickets are on sale for $35 (or save 10% off for a family four pack) at philadelphiatheatrecompany.org, at the box-office, or by calling 215-985-0420. Note: This production will be a relaxed performance that welcomes children with autism or sensory or emotional sensitivities.

"The Holiday Princess Concert is the perfect way for Philadelphia Theatre Company to be part of early memories for children experiencing live theatre for the first time," said Paige Price, Philadelphia Theatre Company's Producing Artistic Director. "PTC has traditionally been the destination for work best enjoyed by teen and adult audiences. We know that the love of live theatre often begins with very young children taken to performances by a family member. By combining music, audience interaction and a family-friendly story in a relaxed environment, we hope to light that spark of interest that we know lasts a lifetime with theatre-goers."

In A Dream Is A Wish: Holiday Princess Concert, Cinderella is planning a holiday celebration for all the wonderful people of the kingdom and all of her princess friends. The newest and youngest princess, Sofia, became a princess overnight and wishes to be the best princess that she can be. Through meeting Belle, Mulan, Rapunzel, Anna and Elsa, Moana, and Ariel at the party, Sofia learns that each princess has obstacles to overcome and her own path to discover but no matter what, if she's true to herself, she will find her way. Audiences journey along with Sofia as she learns what "being a princess is all about," and they'll sing-along with over 16 favorites - A Dream Is a Wish, Let It Go, Reflection, Part of Your World, Marshmallow World, Frosty the Snowman, It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, and more.

Following the show, all the little princesses and princes in attendance will be invited to meet the cast in a special post-show meet-and-greet. Holiday cookies and apple cider will add to the festive afternoon! Please bring your camera to take photos after the show with the cast. (No photos during the show will be allowed.)

"My hope is that we see generations come out and make theater a new holiday tradition," added Price. "We want to see grandparents, parents and little ones sharing the magic of theatre together."

Tickets are $35 at philadelphiatheatrecompany.org, at the box-office, or by calling 215-985-0420. There is a ten percent discount available for four packs of tickets.

2017-2018 SEASON

Philadelphia Theatre Company continues its commitment to sharing the unique American experience and presents an exciting festival-style theatre season under the leadership of new Producing Artistic Director Price. The ambitious 2017-2018 line-up includes plays, music, comedy, and political commentary and features top local and national voices. With Price at the helm of the company, PTC begins a bold new chapter for the ground-breaking organization.

The season began with the World Premiere of Bob Garfield's Ruggedly Jewish, and Kathleen Turner's world premiere cabaret debut. Aaron Davidman's Wrestling Jerusalem had an extended run. On the anniversary of the 2016 election, the company welcomed renowned and controversial monologist Mike Daisey with his shows This is Not Normal and The End Of Journalism, which was augmented by a discussion featuring national and Philadelphia journalists including Chris Jones, Michael Riedel, John Timpane, John Moore and Wendy Rosenfield.. They will host the famed Upright Citizens Brigade Touring Company in a fully improvised comedy show (December 1 - 2); Musical Thrones: A Parody of Ice and Fire, a giddy and raucous parody of the Emmy Award-winning HBO show (February 9 - 10); and the Off-Broadway hit play, Small Mouth Sounds (March 13 - April 1).

Philadelphia Theatre Company (PTC) is a leading regional theater company that produces, develops, and presents entertaining and imaginative contemporary theater focused on the American experience.

More than 50 percent of PTC's world premieres have moved on to New York and other major cities, helping to earn Philadelphia a national reputation as a hub for new play development. PTC has received more than 180 nominations and 53 awards from the Barrymore Awards for Excellence in Theatre. In 2007, PTC was instrumental in expanding Philadelphia's thriving cultural corridor by opening the Suzanne Roberts Theatre on the Avenue of the Arts.
