Vince Lombardi led the Packers to three straight and five total NFL championships as well as victories in the first two Super Bowls in 1966 and 1967.
Lombardi, born in Brooklyn in 1913, the son of Italian immigrants, rose to become a national symbol of determination to succeed and was widely admired for his views on hard work and winning. In 1971, the Super Bowl Trophy was named in his memory, and he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Philadelphia Premiere of Alabama Story by Kenneth Jones at The Old Academy Players
2024-09-13 20:00 - 22:15 | Old Academy Players, 3544 Indian Queen Lane, Philadelphia, 19129, United States
Philadelphia, PA — As part of its 2024-2025 Season, The Old Academy Players is proud to present the Philadelphia Premiere of Alabama Story by American playwright (and Delaware County native) Kenneth Jones. The Old Academy Players’ 542nd production will run September 13-29, 2024; with Friday and Saturday performances at 8:00 pm and two Sunday matinees, September 22nd and 29th at 2:00 pm. It is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc.
Alabama Story was given its first major reading in May 2013 as part of the Southern Writers’ Project at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival. After additional readings in Salt Lake City and New York City, Alabama Story welcomed its world premiere at Pioneer Theatre Company, Salt Lake City, UT, January 9–24, 2015, and received enthusiastic reviews.
“…a crowd-pleasing and imaginatively theatrical comedy-drama…at a time when intolerance is on the upswing and empathy is under siege, Alabama Story is just the play we need.” —St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
“Alabama Story explores thorny racial issues with smarts and sensitivity.” —DC Metro Weekly.
“A disarmingly engaging drama…thoughtfully written…nuanced…well-layered…” —Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Synopsis: As the Civil Rights movement is brewing, a controversial children’s book about a black rabbit marrying a white rabbit stirs the passions of a segregationist State Senator and a no-nonsense State Librarian in 1959 Montgomery, Alabama. A contrasting story of childhood friends—an African American man and a woman of white privilege, reunited in adulthood—provides private counterpoint to the public events swirling in the state capital. Political foes, star-crossed lovers, and one feisty children’s author inhabit the same page in a Deep South of the imagination that brims with humor, heartbreak, and hope. Inspired by true events!
The stellar cast includes: Lorraine Barrett as Emily Wheelock Reed, Clint Cleaver as Bobby Crone, Nicole Gerenyi as Lily Whitfield, Marc Johnson as Joshua Moore, Mort Paterson as Senator E. W. Higgins, Connor Patrick as Thomas Franklin, Douglas Tague as Garth Williams, Robert Toczek as Henry Branch/Passersby, and Mike Zaleski as Hershel Webb.
Carla Childs directs this Philadelphia Premiere of Alabama Story. The production team includes Vanessa Ballard, Helga Krauss, Alyssia Sims, Sarah Swearer, Karen Taylor-Young, Dale Mezzacappa, Judy Van Buskirk, Mary Jane Fullam, Renee Theis, Mohammad Islam, Phoenix Levine, and Jesse Friedman.
Ticket prices are: $25 per adult; $15 for Students under 25 with valid ID; group rate (15 or more) $21 each. Tickets can be purchased online at www.OldAcademyPlayers.org. Reservations and more information can be obtained by calling the Box Office at 215-843-1109. Old Academy Players is located at 3544 Indian Queen Lane, Philadelphia, PA 19129.

Iris’ “I’m Okay” Tea Party!
2024-09-14 14:00 - 15:00 | Sawubona Creativity Project, 1935 E Passyunk Ave, Philadelphia, PA, 19148, United States
Get ready to laugh, cry, and contemplate the complexities of life as Paper Doll Ensemble presents Iris’ “I’M OKAY” Tea Party, an absurdist tragicomedy that promises an unforgettable theatrical experience. Created and performed by Grayce Carson, co-founder of Paper Dolls, this unique (interactive) performance invites you to a tea party like no other, where the challenges of chronic illness take center stage with humor and heart.
Iris’ “I’M OKAY” Tea Party is a deeply personal yet universally relatable production that draws from Grayce Carson’s own journey with chronic illness. As the host of her annual tea party, Iris is determined to prove to everyone—and perhaps herself—that she is, indeed, still alive and kicking. Despite the relentless flare-ups, obstacles, and musical performance interruptions by her own organs, this tea party will happen, come what may.
“Iris may need you to mask up and sanitize at the door,” says Carson, “but it’s only because her body wasn’t actually built to survive the outside world, and she needs a little bit of help. That’s not too much to ask, right?”
Through Iris’ comedic resilience and poignant vulnerability, Carson invites audiences to explore themes of survival, identity, and the human spirit’s ability to persevere despite the odds.
This production is more than a play; it’s an invitation to connect with the unseen struggles many face daily. Whether you have a chronic illness or not, Iris’ “I’M OKAY” Tea Party offers insight, laughter, and a chance to be part of a community that values authenticity and compassion. Don’t miss the chance to join Iris and her guests at this one-of-a-kind tea party and evening of laughter, reflection, and shared humanity.

The Game Show Trivia Game (Show) in the Philly Free Fringe
2024-09-14 15:00 - 16:00 | Virtual on Zoom, PA, 19104, United States
In this virtual event contestants test their knowledge of classic era game shows while competing for a $100 prize. The Game Show Trivia Game (Show) is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream for host Michael Broussard. Ever since he was a kid in the 70s and 80s, playing hooky so he could watch game shows all day, he has dreamed of hosting one himself. When Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak retired, he was sure they would call him to take over. But alas, the call never came. So, he decided to make his dream come true by creating a show of his own.
Potential contestants should email three interesting things about themselves to michaelbroussardarts@gmail.com.
This show is part of Free Fringe Philly and is presented in cooperation with the Rotunda.
This event is suitable for all ages.
