PEOPLES THEATRE PROJECT INC

Rooted in Washington Heights and Inwood, People’s Theatre Project (PTP) makes theatre with and for immigrant communities to build a more just and equitable world. Now in its 16th season, PTP is Manhattan’s largest performing arts organization north of Harlem. Through ensemble-based, multilingual, and multigenerational programming, PTP’s unique brand of theatre is a powerful artistic platform for immigrants and members of the Latine, Black, and Queer communities. People's Theatre Project fulfills its mission through: • Production, which includes the development of devised and playwright-driven original theatre, all by immigrants and artists of color; • Education, which PTP provides free access to high-quality arts education through the multi-year PTP Academy for immigrant youth, and Partnerships with schools and libraries across the city for Multilingual Learners; and • Advocacy, in which PTP staff/artists collaborate with elected officials, community leaders, and CBOs to champion immigrant rights, racial equity, LGBTQIA+ rights, and equitable arts & culture funding in NYC and beyond. Through this work, PTP counters and shifts the pervasive anti-immigrant narratives in this country, while cultivating socially-engaged, immigrant artists and leaders.
