✺ Frequently asked questions ✺

  • In 2019, Power Street was funded by The Bartol Foundation and The Resist Foundation to offer free bilingual adult theater classes, taught in both English and Spanish, at West Kensington Ministry. Students explored experimental theater with Gabriela Sanchez and playwriting with Erlina Ortiz. The program was inspired by the lack of opportunity to escape daily life that happens naturally as we get older - we envisioned this program as an opportunity for adults to return to imagination and play.

    Students gained confidence, collaborated with their neighbors, and learned skills on how to share their voices.

  • This program is intentionally designed for adults 18+.

  • This program is seasonal and contingent on funding. Historically, we have hosted this educational program in the fall, spring and summer with community partners in North and West Philadelphia. Stay up to date on upcoming courses here on our website, socials and newsletter!

  • Yes. This program has explored experimental theater, first-person storytelling, playwriting, poetry, comedy, and more!
