HistorySince 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.
