About Provincetown Dramatic Arts

Established by Margaret Van Sant to celebrate the rich theatrical heritage of Provincetown and Cape Cod and to contribute to its artistic future by developing new scripts and interdisciplinary performances, and to support the economic vitality of our theater community through education in the arts.

Provincetown Dramatic Arts presents original and classic plays, with a focus on the stories of female artists and community-based play development.

Provincetown Dramatic Arts (formerly known as CTEK Arts) has been a member of the Cape Cod theater community since 2004.
