Power Street Theatre is dedicated to art for social change by investing in creative thought leaders, multidisciplinary artists, and community voices through prioritizing representation, accessibility, education, arts advocacy, and joy.
North
Philly
is our
home.
"A community of innovation and resilience whose strengths shine through our art, businesses, food, cultures, and stories."
In the summer, fire hydrants spout waterfalls to play in. Reggaeton, salsa, and rap slowly slide through streets flowing from car windows. Neighborhood elders and youth share lively exchanges across parks.
For over a decade, we have worked predominantly with North Philadelphia's communities — largely characterized by Latine cultures and diverse histories of migration. We are a multicultural community that reflects the uniqueness of America.
We have also worked with people throughout other parts of Philadelphia and the tri-state area, traveling to different locations to perform and attracting new audiences to North Philadelphia from throughout the city and beyond.
As a theater company, we have worked with marginalized staff and multidisciplinary artists since the beginning of PST. We intentionally work with and amplify individuals that reflect the community we work within.
