People's Light

People's Light People’s Light, one of the most accomplished professional theatres in Pennsylvania, forges cultural and civic connections throughout our region.

People's Light is one of Pennsylvania's largest professional non-profit theatres, founded in 1974 and located on a 7-acre campus in Malvern — just outside of Philadelphia. During our year-round season, we produce contemporary plays, classics, new forms of music theatre, and original work, featuring collaborations between our resident company of artists and over 100 visiting artists from around the

country. Beyond the stage, we host a wide array of cultural experiences and education programs. The seven-acre campus at People’s Light features a restored, 18th-century farmhouse, two black box performance spaces, scenic shops, classrooms, rehearsal space, picnic areas, and our administrative offices. We also serve as a local polling place. The Farmhouse at People's Light is a premier event venue, as well as a restaurant. Altogether, we welcome 82,000 people to our campus each year. Our ties are local, our reach is national. We surround our productions with activities that connect us with our neighbors, weaving the onstage work into the fabric of community life. We lead the nation in accessible theatre practices, and strive to create programs and performances that can be enjoyed by everyone. Learn more about us at https://www.peopleslight.org.
