https://www.azukatheatre.org/carroll-county-fixThis summer, Tess has a plan: make a boundary-pushing documentary in the local Walmart parking lot, get a full-ride to a fancy film school, and say goodbye to Carroll County for good. With her best friend Rach home from college, now’s the time to make it happen. But as these two try to tell their town’s story, they find themselves asking: do they still agree on what that story is?

Inis Nua Theatre Company Philadelphia Premiere Folk by Tom Wells
April 6 to 24, 2022
Opening Night Friday, April 8, 2022
https://inisnuatheatre.org/show/folkThe final mainstage production of Inis Nua’s 2021-2022 season will be FOLK by Tom Wells. Originally scheduled for spring 2020, the production was canceled due to COVID. Inis Nua is excited to be able to finally present this warmhearted play with traditional Irish and English folksongs for our audience. FOLK tells the story of three people who don’t quite belong: Winnie, a middle-aged Irish nun with a foul mouth and a penchant for Guinness; Stephen, a lonely man caring for his father; and Kayleigh, a pregnant teen struggling with loss. In their small town in the north of England there’s not much room for misfits, but these three loners forge a deep connection through their love of folk music. The Guardian said that FOLK playwright Tom Wells “has the priceless ability to endow the ordinary with luminous significance.” The production will be directed by four-time Barrymore Award-nominated director Claire Moyer and Music Direction will be provided by Justin Yoder. Performances are April 6-24, 2022 at the Louis Bluver Theatre at The Drake. Opening Night is Friday, April 8, 2022 at 7:00pm.

http://www.2ndstfestival.org/2nd Street Festival presents the first full year of the new Northern Liberties Night Market Series. This inaugural series of outdoor food festivals is rolling into the single fastest growing neighborhood in Philadelphia on Thursday, September 22, 2022, from 5:00pm to 10:00pm, on N. 2nd Street between Fairmount and Poplar streets. This new event will take place every spring and fall, and is a pivot and expansion by the operators of the city’s 2nd Street Festival, which has been on hold during the pandemic. For this first event, look for dozens of food trucks, food vendors, shopping vendors, sidewalk cafes, entertainment, family fun, lawn games, music, street performers, and a couple other fun surprises. The festival is free to attend and food/drink are pay-as-you-go.
