Performing Arts at Penn

Although Penn is known for its strong academic and pre-professional culture, there is still a vibrant performing arts community on campus. One of the main hubs for performing arts is Platt Performing Arts House. Platt brings together students who are interested in dance, music, theater, and other creative endeavors. Platt hosts workshops, performances, and rehearsals, serving as a collaborative space for all students interested in the arts at Penn. The Dance Arts Council (DAC) is another notable organization that supports dance groups on campus. DAC provides opportunities for dancers to share their work through funding and showcase events. Spaces on campus, such as Iron Gate Theater and the Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, allow students to display their creativity for campus audiences. These resources immensely support creativity at Penn, ensuring that the arts coexist with academics.
