Thank You, BTP Supporters!
With your generosity, we raised over $4,000 at this year’s Spring Fundraiser,
THE BEE'S KNEES!

Your support and generosity help us continue to bring theatre that educates, inspires, and challenges to communities that might not otherwise have the opportunity to experience theatrical productions. If you've yet to see LETTERS TO AUNT HATTIE, we have some performances coming up.
See dates below!

UPCOMING PERFORMANCES OF LETTERS TO AUNT HATTIE

About the Show:
In this one-woman show, Camille E. Young (June 6) and Gigi McGraw (June 19) will play the double-role of Charlotte Forten Grimké and her aunt, Harriet Forten Purvis. The play focuses on the correspondence between these two prominent African-American women, who fought for racial and gender equality more than a century ago.

WHY SEE LETTERS TO AUNT HATTIE?

A lot of people don’t know about this important Philadelphia family, who made significant contributions not only in the arts—Charlotte was a renowned poet—but also in the cause of justice for women and African-Americans.
