Philadelphia Citywide Campaign to Support Sanitation Workers Launches

PTC is supporting the unsung heroes of the pandemic with a free performance special for sanitation workers and their families on Thursday, November 11th at 2:30. 

Starting the same day, PTC will launch a citywide campaign to encourage residents to support their sanitation workers through the distribution of 10,000 #supportsantiationworkers stickers for recycling and garbage bins. These will be available through local civic associations, at special events, and at the PTC box office. 
 
The sticker used exclusive artwork from noted local artist Alloyius Mcilwaine, who is also creating and debuting five original art pieces using Philadelphia city recycling bins as a canvas. The pieces will be on display in the PTC lobby and auctioned off during the run of the show. The artwork will be available for viewing in the front windows of the Suzanne Roberts Theatre lobby starting on opening night. 
 

The company is also partnering with Terrill “Ya Fav Trashman” Haigler and supporting several organizations around the city that are hosting trash-related events. Ya Fav Trashman will be part of a special talkback on Sunday, November 14th, after the 3:00 pm performance.
