It's much too easy to think that all of the great theater in the Philadelphia area takes place in Center City, but that's not the case, by far.
Our list includes over 52 separate productions in May 2008 and I'mm sure we've missed a few.
If you know of any professional or amateur theater productions, drop me an email. Be sure to include the dates of the performances, name of the production and name of the theatrical company, name and address of the theater where the production will be held and finally any applicable website address.
Here then is our guide to what's playing on stage at Philadelphia area theaters in May 2008.
