Time
A reading and performance series where writers, directors, and actors workshop new pieces in front of live audiences — gathering feedback, refining stories, and building the future of Philadelphia theatre.

Live rooms.
Real stakes.
PlayTime is Power Street Theatre's platform for new-work development — a reading and performance series that gives writers, directors, and actors the space to workshop pieces in front of live audiences.
Unlike a finished production, PlayTime readings are alive with possibility. Scripts are in process. Choices are still being made. The audience becomes part of the conversation — their reactions, laughter, and silence all feed back into the work.
We believe theatre doesn't begin on opening night. It begins in rooms like these — scrappy, honest, and full of potential. PlayTime is that room.
Develop
Scripts in development get their first real test with an audience in the room.
Perform
Actors and directors bring the pages to life — raw, unfiltered, and present.
Refine
Live feedback shapes the next draft. The work grows because of the community.
