Presented by The Void

The Void is a new Philadelphia-based holistic creatives collective working to empower emerging, ambitious, and unheard artists. Tired of working in product-based environments, we dissent from the traditional hierarchical structure of theatre-making and lead with empathy, integrity, and investigative spirit in the pursuit of radical thought and innovation. Through artistic collaboration, we strive to build a community of independent thinkers who are actively envisioning and working toward making the work we want to see, in order to fill the void.
