Philadelphia Theatre Company | Philadelphia, PA | $135 – 150K | Full-Time
Philadelphia Theatre Company (PTC) in Philadelphia, PA seeks a visionary leader to join a team of talented and dedicated staff, artists, and board members in the role of Artistic Director.
Philadelphia Theatre Company (PTC) is a leading regional theatre company that produces, develops, and presents contemporary theatre focused on the American experience. PTC seeks to nurture an audience of open-minded theatregoers across cultural, ethnic, and social lines by producing drama that is at once challenging, entertaining, and imaginatively staged.
Who is Philadelphia Theatre Company?
Founded in 1974, Philadelphia Theatre Company (PTC) has presented over 200 Philadelphia and world premieres. More than half of those world premieres have moved on to New York and other major cities, helping to establish PTC as a hub for new work development. A LORT D theatre with an approximately $3.5M budget, PTC balances its Philadelphia roots with a national point of view that combines a taste for adventure with a dedication to new American plays and musicals.
PTC fosters a creative environment that supports playwrights at every stage of their career, producing such luminary authors as Lynn Nottage, Suzan Lori-Parks, José Rivera, Danai Gurira, David Henry Hwang, Katori Hall, Tracey Scott Wilson, Nikkole Salter, Christopher Durang, Donald Margulies, David Ives, Jason Robert Brown, and August Wilson. PTC’s productions have also called upon the talents of award-winning directors including Pam McKinnon, Seret Scott, Walter Bobbie, Leah C. Gardiner, Anna D. Shapiro, Christopher Ashley, Nataki Garrett, and Israel Hicks. Other notable moments in history include the premiere of the Sondheim review Being Alive, conceived and directed by Billy Porter, and the first regional premiere of The Scottsboro Boys, brought straight from Broadway by Susan Stroman. In 2022, PTC will premiere The Tattooed Lady, a new musical developed with the support of a Pew Center for Arts & Heritage Project Grant.
PTC’s longest and most fruitful artistic relationship has been with the late Terrence McNally, who passed away in 2020. PTC produced four world premieres by McNally, including the Tony Award-winning Master Class, as well as five regional premieres.
In honor of McNally, PTC created the Terrence McNally Award in 2012. This national award recognizes new plays that celebrate themes central to McNally’s work: social justice, queer rights, and the transformative power of art. Past winners include James Ijames, Bill Cain, A. Zell Williams, and Martín Zimmerman. The award was revived in 2021, with Philadelphia playwright Donja R. Love receiving the honor for What Will Happen To All That Beauty?, PTC will produce a reading of the play in 2022.
PTC’s home is the Suzanne Roberts Theatre, a state-of-the-art 370-seat mainstage auditorium designed by PTC and opened in 2007 as an anchor for Philadelphia’s thriving cultural corridor. Created as a welcoming and accessible space for its expanding audience, the SRT not only serves as the center of PTC productions, but also hosts several live companies in residence, including Koresh Dance Company, Philadelphia Gay Men’s Chorus, and Savoy Company.
Looking to the Future
With its 50th anniversary season approaching, PTC is poised and ready to welcome an artistic leader who is thrilled by the opportunity to shepherd the company into its next half-century. With a clear vision for PTC’s journey into a future ripe with kaleidoscopic possibilities, our new artistic leader will build upon a strong foundation of supporting new American works, investing in the Philadelphia artistic community, and gathering a variety of theatre lovers into its home on Philadelphia’s Avenue of the Arts.
PTC has recently embraced the call for meaningful change within the American theatre industry. It strives to not only be a hub for exploring and redefining the American experience, but a sanctuary of theatrical wonder, where artistic discovery can thrive. Taking action on commitments to diversity, equity, inclusion, and access will be one of the cornerstones of PTC as it uplifts and empowers new American plays and musicals. With so many people across ethnicities, heritages, languages, and cultures calling Philadelphia their home, the next artistic leader will guide PTC in better reflecting this wonderful diversity in all aspects of the institution.
PTC seeks applicants who are determined to advance its mission and values, work in a collaborative environment with diverse perspectives, and further dialogue on what it means to be American while producing new, imaginative work. By immersing themselves in Philadelphia’s community and culture, curating connections with artists here and across state lines, and infusing a new life into the institution, PTC’s new leader will propel the theatre forward into possibility.
Who is in Leadership?
Emily Zeck (she/her/hers) joined PTC as Managing Director in the fall of 2017. Since her arrival, Emily has steadily led PTC towards organizational stability through revenue growth, resource optimization, significant debt reduction, and by working to foster a culture of trust and integrity with PTC’s staff, board, funders, artists, and audiences. Her more than fifteen years in theatre management began in New York producing Off-Off-Broadway and subsequently led her to Southern Methodist University, where she earned an MA and an MBA before moving to Colorado. During her tenure as Theatre Aspen’s Managing Director, she began and completed a capital campaign, constructed a new venue in the heart of Aspen, and brought financial stability to the organization. She has since held management positions at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, a Broadway general management company, and New York Stage and Film, where she deepened her passion for supporting artists and facilitating new work. Since 2019 she has served as the Treasurer of Theatre Philadelphia, the marketing organization for theatre in Philadelphia; as a board member, she has helped lead their pandemic relief campaign to support local theatre workers and spearheaded a city-wide COVID-19 vaccine verification app for Philadelphia theatre audiences.
Gary Deutsch (he/him/his) is the Chair of PTC’s Board, and he has been Managing Chief Counsel with the legal department of PNC Bank in the Greater Philadelphia Area for over a decade. He is also a Board member of Steppingstone Scholars, and previously at the Support Center for Child Advocates and The Children’s Home of Burlington County (now Legacy Treatment Services). Before his tenure at PNC, Gary was SVP & Assistant General Counsel at Sovereign Bank (now Santander Bank) and has also practiced with several Philadelphia-based law firms. Gary received his law degree from the University of Pennsylvania, and he completed his BA in Political Science at Drew University. Gary has been a life-long fan of live theatre and became even more active as his daughter, Sammi, started performing with Philadelphia-area regional theatres while she was in middle school and high school.
