At this moment of great need for Philadelphia artists and the wider community, Arcadia's Theater Arts class of 2021 is raising money for two very worthy not-for-profit organizations providing support and inspiration to theater artists of all types:
- Theatre Philadelphia Emergency Relief Fund: awards micro-grants with a sliding scale of $300-$500 to individuals who live in the Philadelphia region, work in theatre, and whose theatre income has been impacted by COVID-19.
- Philadelphia Young Playwrights: Since 1987, Philadelphia Young Playwrights (PYP) has partnered with educators to bring the transformative power of playwriting into classrooms and community settings across Greater Philadelphia. Placing students at the center of their learning, PYP's intensive writing residencies advance writing-based literacy skills while developing critical 21st century skills like creativity, communication, and collaboration.
