Dear Friends,
We are outraged and heartbroken, and yet hopeful. And none of that is new. It was exactly these feelings that led us to create The Bridge PHL and that now propel us to work even harder to ensure the voices of our community of artists continue to be heard loud and clear.
Today. Every day. Forever.
Please take a moment to visit our Antiracism page for more information on actions we all can take to dismantle structural racism and white supremacy in our world and within ourselves.

The Bridge PHL Fall Festival Submissions Window is NOW OPEN!
The Bridge PHL Theatre Festival will be accepting submissions from April 21st through June 30th for our 5th annual production.
This year’s festival will be held October 22nd through 25th at The Rotunda, 4014 Walnut Street, Philadelphia.
Please note that with the uncertainty of future effects of COVID-19 on our ability to gather in groups, there remains the possibility that the festival will have to be transitioned partially or entirely to a virtual platform which will be presented via our YouTube channel, Facebook page, and here on our website. Please include with your submission your thoughts on how your piece could be presented virtually if necessary.
The theme for the 2020 festival is ESSENTIAL.
Submitted pieces do not have to adhere to this theme literally.
Pieces must be no longer than 15 minutes in length but can be as little as
5 minutes. They can be drama, comedy, music, dance, spoken-word, monologue, film, video, mixed media or any combination thereof.
All pieces must assist our mission.
Please email all submissions of scripts or project summaries to:
thebridgephl@gmail.com
Please include your estimated running time; let us know if you already have a director or cast for your piece; include a general list of props, costumes, and the size of your cast; and please include any questions you may have.
We will respond to all submissions no later than July 31st.
THANK YOU!

Antiracism Page
Introducing our new Antiracism page, filled with links to helpful educators to follow, podcasts, training, films, books, and organizations, all available now on our website. Please check it out. Starting this spring The Bridge PHL began hosting informal Zoom meet-ups for those in our community who hold white privilege and are working through Layla F. Saad's "Me and White Supremacy" , as our white directors are, as part of our antiracism educational journey.
Come join the discussion. Please send us an email for more information. |
