About the company
The Philadelphia Theatre Company is a tax-exempt nonprofit based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania that receives federal project grants from the National Endowment for the Arts to produce and premiere theatrical works, with subsidiary support for education activities. The vendor operates as a prime recipient on 93% of recent federal awards, with negligible sub-award exposure (one subaward from a state emergency-management agency in 2023).
All thirteen NEA project grants in the vendor's recent federal footprint fund theatrical production. Representative work includes a $1.09 million NEA grant (awarded January 2026, completing May 2026) to support production of "Wilderness Generation" by James Ijames; a $988 thousand NEA grant (awarded January 2025, completing May 2025) for the world premiere production of "Night Side Songs" by Daniel Lazour and Patrick Lazour; a $1.02 million NEA grant (awarded January 2024, completing August 2024) for the world premiere production of "The Duat" by Roger Q. Mason with related education activities; and a $979 thousand NEA grant (awarded January 2022, completing December 2022) to support "The Tattooed Lady" with music and lyrics by Max Vernon and book by Vernon and Erin Courtney. The vendor also received a single Federal Emergency Management Agency subaward (March 2023) as part of Pennsylvania's Public Assistance grant program in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Customer concentration is stark: the National Endowment for the Arts accounts for 100% of award count (13 awards) and the overwhelming majority of obligated dollars across recent activity. Award volume has remained flat at one per year across the past five years (2022–2026), with $3 million in combined obligated dollars across all federal sources in the source data. The vendor does not hold federal contracts or IDVs and does not compete under any set-aside category.
