PHILLY’S FAVES 2025
Theatre by Development was officially voted the Philadelphia Inquirer’s Philly's Favorite Theatre Company for 2025!
Andrew Miqueli, Lindsey Silver, and Monti Cerabino
TBD is an independent theatre production company that comes from a need to constantly create and consume the art we want to be experiencing. We were *officially* founded just last year in 2024, although this passion and drive has been pushing Monti, Andrew, and Lindsey towards new work since their time at the University of the Arts (Class of 2022).
Being a new and independent theater company, we do not buy rights to scripts, use big budgets, have flashy sets or costumes. We work on a "pay what you can" system with a "trash to treasure" mentality to produce new stories and new work by new artists. Monthly workshops help our writers develop new ideas, push themselves towards growth, and reach new audiences. From our workshops, we cultivate scripts created by new voices, culminating in larger-scope productions featuring up and coming creative talent in Philly. In 2024 we presented three TBD productions as well as associate produced other ventures with some of our favorite collaborators!
This win means so much to TBD, the theatre community, and the city itself. It was truly an honor to be nominated in the first place among historic and well established theater company's like other our Philly Faves winners, the Arden & Walnut!
To every audience member, to every artist, to every donation, to everyone who saw or heard about TBD and supports us: THANK YOU. Thank you for supporting truly new work and new artists.
