A Philly Theater Makes Breakthrough Pledge to Showcase Women Playwrights

How to Catch Creation, by Christina Anderson, is now playing at the Philadelphia Theatre Company.
On stage through April 14th at the Philadelphia Theatre Company is How to Catch Creation, a production[1] written by Christina Anderson that follows the professional and personal lives of four artists and intellectuals in San Fransisco. The play marks the beginning of a new era for PTC: one in which the company resolves to seek out work produced by underrepresented voices in the arts community.

With How to Catch Creation, PTC becomes the first theater in the U.S. to pledge to show at least one work annually from a writer on the socalled Kilroys List, which spotlights[2] female, trans and non-binary voices. Anderson, an out, black, rising playwright[3] from Kansas, made the list in 2015 (for her play The Ashes Under Gait City) and in 2017 for How to Catch Creation.
