First Person Arts is a Philly-based storytelling nonprofit. We depend on donations, sponsorships, and ticket sales to entertain, educate, and enlighten our community about the power of storytelling. We use the power of true, personal stories to connect Philadelphians to each other. Above all, we believe everyone has a story to tell, especially you!
