Permanent Collection at Interact Theatre Company

In celebration of our 25th Anniversary we are reviving
our most successful production ever! Permanent
Collection garnered critical acclaim and the 2004
Barrymore Award for Outstanding New Play, before
being produced at dozens of theatres across the
country. Inspired by events at Philadelphia’s storied
Barnes Foundation, this compelling drama follows a
suburban Museum’s newly hired African American
Executive Director, whose ideas for making adjustments
to the permanent collection set off a firestorm of racially-
charged controversies, within and beyond the institution’s
hallowed walls.
