We function with a core volunteer staff, encircled by various committees who build our membership, development, and programs.
Staff
Cat Ramirez
Creative Director
is a Philly-based director and producer who specializes in new plays, devised work, multidisciplinary performance, and event production. They have turned boiler rooms into dilapidated mansions, studios & galleries into living achieves of local Asian American histories, and bars into dreamscapes for queer love stories.
Liana Irvine
Outreach Coordinator
is playful, methodical, and faithful as a dramaturg, producer, and community steward for new plays. With intimacy and empathetic interrogation, Liana advocates for dramatic forms that entangle the ecosystems of theatrical worlds and audience perceptions.
Membership Committee
The purpose of the membership committee is to design, implement, and provide input on member-focused programming; recruit, retain, and engage PAPA members, and implementation of member-focused communications.
