Aurora Circle

Be a part of the next generation of theatergoers! We are excited to announce the return of the Aurora Circle, a new community of supporters of Philly’s vibrant arts scene who are helping to create a brighter future for new works and our community of artists in the city and beyond. Experience each show in the Wilma’s bold, adventurous season, and then meet the artists that help to create them. Aurora Circle members will have the opportunity to learn about the creative process from the actors and production teams that bring them to life and engage with peers who share a love of the theater arts.

Every member of the Aurora Circle is invited to our special Aurora Circle Events!

For each mainstage production, there will be an Aurora Circle event, where members will be invited to watch the production together, then gather for an intimate pre- or post-show salon featuring members of our artistic cohort, cast, and production. Over a drink, you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions about the current production, discuss the Wilma’s season and the arts scene overall, and make friends old and new. Each event is unique to the production, and details will be announced a month beforehand!
