Dot
The holidays at the Shealy household are always a wild family affair. This year, however, Dotty and her three adult children are exchanging more than just gifts. As Dotty struggles with challenges of dementia, her children find themselves in a delicate juggling act—caring for their mother while also attending to their own needs. Described as “a thoroughly entertaining comedy-drama” from The New York Times, this fresh and amusing play takes on the complexities of aging parents, midlife crises and the essence of a West Philadelphia community with a blend of wit and candor. Disclaimer: Contains adult language and situations.
The Old Man and The Old Moon
For as long as he can remember, The Old Man has taken care of The Old Moon by climbing a ladder each night to refill its light. When a mysterious melody beckons away his wife, the Old Man finds himself torn between the familiarity of duty and routine and the allure of love and adventure. With music evoking memories of their shared history, the Old Man decides to abandon the moon and embark on a quest to bring back his wife. Highly creative storytelling allows audiences to experience The Old Man’s epic journey over land and sea. Described by Time Out New York as “a transcendent theatrical experience for all ages,” this original musical folktale speaks to the child in all of us and reminds us of the unwavering power of love and the most formidable obstacle of all—change.

From the creators of #IMOMSOHARD, Jen and Kristin are heading out on a spring tour, with a brand new show: FLASHBACK! Guaranteed to make you laugh, and maybe pee your pants, these two dive-in to all things womanhood, motherhood, and friendship. There are new things to talk about and some old things to talk about in new ways like surviving marriage, fashion, and the tween-teen years. These two may be older, but they are only getting better. Or bitter. Let’s go with better. “Let’s all get together and find a way to laugh at the stuff the usually makes us cry.” This show is rowdy, raucous and a little bit naughty. Get a group of your lady friends, or fly solo, you can even bring your husband (make sure he sits in the front row) and get ready to laugh.
