Program areas at PCS Theater

The organization present an average of 7-8 productions (each with 8 to 10 performances) on our mainstage, including musicals and non musicals, using volunteer actors, directors and crews who are members of the surrounding communities, including the states of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. Audiences are primarily from the counties surrounding our venue, but some audience members come from considerable distances to see our productions.
Provisions of space for classes and presentation of performances of separate outside organizations, including charitable 501 (C)(3) organizations.
Presentation of plays, cabarets, staged readings, improv comedy and children's theater productions in our second stage black box theater. Typical audience for each performance ranges from 35-80 persons. These productions allow us to present work for specific audiences (e.g. children's theater), new works (e.g. staged readings) and works that may not appeal to a wide audience. This series also gives new directors a chance to work at our theater. It provides revenue opportunities at times that our theater would otherwise be "dark." The children's series allows us to introduce young children to the joy of live theater.
Revenue represents refreshments and other amenities that are made available to the audiences. Revenue also includes costume & prop rentals to other theater groups, as well as revenue derived from hosting outside performance groups in the Player's Club Theater
