The Potomac Theatre Project (PTP) reflects "the nightmares and hoaxes by which we live." The company was founded in 1987 by the artistic triumvirate of Cheryl Faraone, Jim Petosa and Richard Romagnoli. PTP is an outgrowth of The New York Theatre Studio, an Off-Off Broadway company founded by Richard Romagnoli and Cheryl Faraone which produced in Manhattan from 1977-1985. During its 20 seasons (1987-2006) in Washington DC and Maryland, the company produced 75 main stage productions along with numerous new play readings and late night experimental productions.

In the summer of 2007, Potomac Theatre Project (aka PTP/NYC) returned to New York, continuing to redefine political theatre for the 21st century with an annual month long repertory season encompassing full productions, readings and a variety of ancillary events.

In its 21 seasons the voices of PTP's writers have addressed the necessity and difficulty of art, pornography, AIDS, homelessness, censorship, totalitarianism, apartheid and gender wars, always in passionate, deeply human terms.
