Short Description: In their show, WHO, Tongue & Groove improvises scenes and monologues exploring real life experiences, both hilarious and heartbreaking, inspired by written responses to the question ‘who are you?,‘ anonymously submitted by the audience.

Longer Description: For Tongue & Groove’s show, WHO, each audience member is given an index card, a pen, and the prompt: “beneath the typical identifiers — and in just one sentence — who are you?” Encouraged to answer honestly, the audience anonymously submits their responses, which are randomly drawn by the actors and read aloud. The ensemble then spontaneously performs a montage of funny and touching scenes & monologues inspired by the audience’s personal descriptions.
Mid-show, the ensemble chooses more cards to inspire a hilarious Speed Dating Game with a special twist you’ll wish you could use on your next date!

Philadelphia: For the People Exhibition
2026-05-02 - 2027-01-02 | Parkway Central Library, 1901 Vine Street, Philadelphia, PA, 19103, United States
250 years ago, the Declaration of Independence affirmed that a government exists to serve the people. Although that affirmation has not been enforced with equal measure, Philadelphians have fought to create a City of Brotherly Love. The city’s collective beauty is apparent in its parks and public art, while infrastructure such as telephone lines and public transit are reminders of how Philadelphia has evolved to serve its people. As we reflect upon the city’s development, its strengths and its shortcomings, how can we best shape a future for Philadelphia’s people?
Objects on display are from the Children’s Literature Research Collection, Government Publications, the Map Collection, and the Print and Picture Collection. To learn more, visit freelibrary.org/specialcollections and freelibrary.org/gpd.
This exhibition can be viewed in the Second Floor West Gallery of Parkway Central Library from May 2, 2026 through January 2, 2027.
