GENE DILKS

A Celebration of Art & Community

At Exile’s 2025 fundraiser, we honored Lindsey Scannapieco. As a mainstay in Philly for her work in the arts and development, Lindsey was the recipient of Theatre Exile’s Art and Community Award, designed by local artist, Warren Muller.

One of the core tenets of our mission at Theatre Exile is to raise the social well-being of our community by creating a supportive and creative environment where artists, audiences, and our entire community can experiment, grow, and find their voices. In support of this, Exile has from time to time honored members of our community that take our mission in stride and serve as ambassadors for our work as it reflects the grit and passion of our city.

Continuing this tradition into 2026, we are excited to honor Gene Dilks with this award.
