Philadelphia Young Playwrights

Plan your visit

The stored 1219 Vine Street, second-floor address is the organization's office, not a dependable public performance venue. Classes, school residencies, festivals, and staged programs take place online, in schools, and at changing partner venues. Use the specific program or event page for registration, location, age range, and arrival instructions.

Accessibility

Accessibility depends on the school, classroom, online platform, office, or partner performance venue used by each program. Families, educators, and participants should contact PYP before registering to discuss mobility, sensory, communication, learning, or personal-support needs and confirm the host facility's access.
