Theatre in the X was created in 2013 to provide the people of West Philadelphia and the African American community at large the opportunity to see professional quality theater in their own neighborhood for no cost. Supported by the Leeway Art & Change Grant and the Friends of Malcolm X Park. The 2015 presentation is part of the City of Philadelphia's Performances in Public Spaces program managed by the Office of Arts, Culture and the Creative Economy.
