Arden Theater & Galaei Partnership
We are thrilled to announce a new partnership between Galaei/Philly Pride 365 and The Arden Theater. This collaboration brings together our complementary strengths and expertise to provide even greater experiences and resources to our clients.
For over 35 years, Arden Theater has produced a wide range of stories in a variety of styles – classic and contemporary, intimate and epic, musical and dramatic – and have a commitment to stories that highlight the diversity of people and human experiences.
We believe that our partnership with Arden Theater will bring a lot of value to our organization as well as amazing opportunities for community. They believe in the power of stories to bring people together – that they can celebrate unique identities while reminding us of our shared humanity. They work to build a vital community of artists who excel creatively through shared experiences and to expand the pool of artists with whom we work to bring new energies and perspectives to our stages. The Arden strives to be Philadelphia’s hometown theatre, contributing to the region’s vibrant cultural landscape.
As we move forward, we look forward to working with Arden Theater to continue to build on our success and reach new heights.
