Philly Theatre Week Returns With Hundreds Of Unique Events, Performances

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - If you love the arts then you're in for a treat this week! It's Philly Theatre Week: A 10-day event that celebrates our city's vibrant and diverse theater scene.

There will be hundreds of unique events and performances throughout the city.

"The event is really important because people who cannot afford maybe a $65, $75 ticket, people who are not aware of certain events and theater companies who have never visited them, this is one way to getting that new audience to come in and see these new and wonderful companies," Zuhairah Mcgill, who stars as "Mrs. Loving" in the production of "Rachel" said.  "Some of them are free, some of the tickets are $15. Nothing is over $30 during this 10-day event."

Tickets will be free, $15, or $30.

Philly Theatre Week kicked off last Thursday and will continue through Feb. 16.

You can watch Mcgill in "Rachel" now showing at the Quintessence Theatre on Germantown Avenue.
