Fifty different events and hundreds of performances over a 35-mile radius of the Philly region: it's the sixth annual Philly Theatre Week, and it's fully back this year after pandemic-era festivals of streaming and outdoor shows. Darnelle Radford chats with Theatre Philadelphia's Katherine Clark and Philly Theatre Week artist Jenna Kuerzi (who's bringing back her popular Johnny Depp: A Retrospective on Late-Stage Capitalism, and yes, she's constantly reshaping the show in response to the news on Depp).

Some shows are appearing just for Theatre Week, some shows are part of longer runs at regional theaters that are participating to offer pay-what-you-can tix for the run of this fest. Head to Theatre Philadelphia, which has everything you need to easily view the full line-up and reserve your seats.
