Week of Events
SAC Museum Exhibit – Mission: Astronaut
Welcome to Mission: Astronaut, a hands-on experience where visitors learn about space exploration, the technology that makes it possible, how it benefits life on Earth, and more through astronaut training challenges. Each section presents interactive tasks that require an astronaut’s mindset to solve and focus on engineering, physics, teamwork, and fun!
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.
Milo Imagines the World
Milo is on a long subway ride with his older sister. To pass the time, he studies the faces around him and makes pictures of their lives. There’s the boy in the suit with the bright white sneakers; Milo imagines him arriving home to a castle with a drawbridge and a butler. But when the boy in the suit gets off on the same stop as Milo—walking the same path, going to the exact same place—Milo realizes that you can’t really know anyone just by looking at them.
Some Like It Hot
Set in Chicago when Prohibition has everyone thirsty for a little excitement, SOME LIKE IT HOT is the “glorious, big, high-kicking” (Associated Press) story of two musicians forced to flee the Windy City after witnessing a mob hit. With gangsters hot on their heels, they catch a cross-country train for the life-chasing, life-changing trip of a lifetime.
Unlock Midtown: Free Neighborhood-Wide Game
Looking for an experience to enjoy with family and friends?
