🎭 Big News from the Truro Playwright Collective! 🎉

We are thrilled to announce that TPC is now a fiscally sponsored project of the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod — one of Cape Cod's most respected arts organizations. We are so honored by this recognition!

What does this mean? Simply put: YOUR donations to TPC are now TAX-DEDUCTIBLE. We also become eligible to apply for grants and corporate sponsorships that will help us grow free theater on the Outer Cape.

This milestone wouldn't be possible without the community that has supported our free monthly readings at the Truro Public Library season after season. Thank you.

If you've ever thought about supporting live theater on the Outer Cape, now is the perfect time. Every contribution — large or small — goes directly toward bringing new plays to life right here in Truro.
