Philadelphia Theatre Company presents the Rolling World premiere of How to Catch Creation from the acclaimed Kilroy’s List. Christina Anderson’s stunning play follows four artists and intellectuals in San Francisco who are struggling to nurture creative impulses and establish a legacy in both their professional and personal lives. When one discovers the works of a black queer feminist writer from a bygone era, their lives begin to intersect in unexpected ways. This bold, imaginative play dissects the universal act of creation - creation of life, of family, of art - to inspire the dreamers and idealists in us all. The show runs March 22 to April 14, 2019 at the Suzanne Roberts Theatre, 480 S. Broad Street. Tickets are available starting at $10 at philadelphiatheatrecompany.org or by calling (215) 985-0420. Show times vary by date, please check online to see full show schedule.
