Festival at the Mann

Experience Jennifer Archibald’s full-length world premiere of Maslow’s Peak at our annual Festival at the Mann, May 2-3!

Jennifer Archibald, hailed by The Philadelphia Inquirer for her “sleek, lovely, highly athletic” choreography, debuts a daring full-length world premiere inspired by the classic novel Lord of the Flies. With a visionary team of international artists including award-winning director and designer Guy de Lancey, this powerful exploration of human nature and survival will transform the Mann’s stage like never before.

All tickets are just $25! Bring a picnic and immerse yourself in pre-show performances by local artists, live music, and family-friendly fun – all set against the stunning Philadelphia skyline.

Major support for Maslow’s Peak has been provided by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage, with additional support from National Endowment for the Arts and TD Charitable Foundation.
