Resource Sharing

Philadelphia Scenic Works helps make the arts more sustainable by sharing resources across the creative community. Through our resource-sharing initiatives, we keep reusable scenery, materials, equipment, and expertise in circulation—reducing waste, lowering costs, and helping arts organizations do more with less. 

By creating opportunities to reuse and share what already exists, PSW strengthens the region's arts ecosystem while building a more sustainable future for the performing arts.

The Philadelphia Theatre Resource Sharing Committee is a volunteer group of theater professionals from across the Philadelphia region who have come together to envision and organize resource-sharing initiatives for performing arts institutions and individual artists in the Philadelphia area. We aim to reduce waste, increase cross-company conversation, and create more avenues for sharing the community’s resources. We strive to make the Philadelphia performing arts sector radically innovative, equitable, and sustainable. We are guided by the value of generosity.
