Theatre Exile is a non-profit theatre company dedicated to providing a creative environment in which Philadelphia artists can grow and experiment. We produce risky and challenging plays that contain a sense of true “Philadelphia spirit” which is to say, plays that capture an innate human sensibility that focuses on family, work and our indomitable drive. We are constantly striving to reach out to new theatre audiences throughout the community by presenting both new works as well as established plays.
