La Peg is Redefining “Dinner Theater,” With a Dynamic Line-up of Live Performances Nearly Every Night

With a signature monthly series called “Get Pegged,” it’s immediately clear that the performance offerings at La Peg at FringeArts are anything but traditional.  Staged by Philadelphia’s most exciting, forward-thinking artists, these shows blur the line between dinner and theater, making La Peg a must-visit for a memorable meal of American fare from Chef Peter Woolsey – and for an eye-opening, jaw-dropping spectacle unlike any other in the city.

This spring, La Peg’s line-up includes live jazz performers several nights a week, plus bold bands and an ongoing dinner pairing series that offers one of the city’s most affordableprix fixe meals, complete with beverage pairings.  And, of course, Get Pegged Cabaret:
