Live! At The Lane
Live! At The Lane is a performing arts series featuring a variety of events, including music, dance, spoken word, comedy, and theater. Taking place in our historic Café Theater, the program is an accessible, culturally relevant celebration that centers joy, offering a broad diversity of performing arts for audiences of all ages. The series will provide a vibrant space for community events that showcase our community’s talents.
The series will support local and emerging artists by providing opportunities to perform and collaborate in our historic theater space, as well as exposure to new audiences; and create partnerships with local arts organizations and theater ensembles that will mutually benefit and continue to develop a rich arts and culture scene in Northwest Philadelphia. As a creative hub and high-quality space in Mt. Airy and the greater Philadelphia region, Live! At the Lane builds upon our 70-year tradition of being a home for the performing arts.

History
Since its establishment in 1953, Allens Lane Art Center has been a vital cornerstone in the Mount Airy, Germantown, and Greater Philadelphia communities with the mission of Growing Together Through the Arts. Allens Lane typically presents four Mainstage productions each season, continuing a long-standing community theater program that has seen thousands of artists and audience members pass through its doors. We are committed to producing purposeful, challenging, and unique theater experiences including the best of contemporary drama, exciting new works, plays for young audiences, and boldly reimagined classics that reflect the rich diversity of the neighborhoods surrounding Allens Lane Art Center. In addition to our Mainstage season, we offer a Reader’s Theater program to present staged readings of new plays by local writers. The theater at Allens Lane aims to bring people of all ages together through the communal power of the arts and is committed to diverse representation in our productions both with the actors onstage and the artists working behind the scenes.
