Support Penn Live Arts

For more than 50 years, Penn Live Arts has served as Philadelphia’s foremost presenter of diverse performances across music, dance, theatre and film, bringing national and international artists who might not otherwise be seen in our region. Headquartered at the Annenberg Center in the heart of the University of Pennsylvania’s campus, we present bold new work, provide opportunities for creative collaboration and integrate arts experiences across campus and the city.

We are proud to have kept artists performing live on the virtual stage during the pandemic, bringing you numerous world premieres and debuts as one of the few arts organizations in Philadelphia to offer real-time, digital performances over the last year. Now, as we celebrate our 50th anniversary and return to live, in-person performing arts programming as Penn Live Arts, we invite you to join us in supporting the next 50 years of live arts experiences at Penn.
