History

Since 2009, PCTC has produced fourteen Main Stage
productions, seven new works series, 18 staged readings
(including John Guare's original work, More Stars Than
There Are In Heaven), four Tennessee Williams festivals, a
World Premiere of a Tennessee Williams play, and several
NYC premieres. PCTC has won and been nominated for
twenty-one theatre awards.

Over 25,000 patrons have attended PCTC productions in
NYC, Boston, and New Orleans with producing partners
Bridge Repertory Theater and Southern Rep. At the same
time, PCTC has continued and expanded its efforts to give
back to the community through the Little Creatures Act Out
camps for underserved youth, free readings and tickets for
seniors (Creatures Serving Seniors), and an annual Red
Cross blood drive (since 2014, with producing partner
American Candy). Beginning in March 2019, PCTC will
launch a pilot drama program with Harvey Milk High School
for at-risk LGBTQ youth.
