Tiny Dynamite celebrates 10 years of its signature A Play, a Pie, and a Pint series with a special season of programming that breaks down perceptions that the arts are only for special occasions. The 2022-23 roster offers audiences the opportunity to experience theater with an accessible approach, featuring three special pop-up performances in collaboration with PhilaLandmarks along with a fully-produced production at the Drake Theatre. Subscriptions are now on sale for the company’s 4-show season at tinydynamite.org. Single tickets go on sale August 30.
“We hope that audiences will raise a pint with us for this 10th anniversary with these fun and festive events,” said Producing Artistic Director Kathryn MacMillan. “Since our founding in 2008, we have produced welcoming, empathetic, and community-based stories, and this season is no exception. We look forward to welcoming new audiences for theater with our accessible approach to presenting plays as we celebrate 10 delightful years of A Play, a Pie, and a Pint.”

Meet Murasaki Shikibu Followed by Book Signing, and Other Things
By Julia Izumi
WORLD PREMIERE Fully staged production
June 7-18, 2023
Louis Bluver Theatre at the Drake, 302 S Hicks St, Philadelphia, PA
Tonight we welcome Murasaki Shikibu in conversation to kick off the book launch of The Tale of Genji, one of the first novels ever written. Like, in the whole world. Granted, the event is over 1000 years late, but to make up for lost time, Lady Murasaki has a lot to say. If you’re lucky, she might even talk about the book. She will take questions and give autographs following the discussion. A hit at FringeNYC 2016, Tiny Dynamite brings Julie Izumi’s thought-provoking and witty play to Philadelphia for its regional premiere.
Subscriptions to Tiny Dynamite’s 2022-23 season are currently available. Each subscription comes with one ticket to each of the season’s shows, plus a snack and a beer, wine, or soft drink at each event.
