Nearly 30 boats from Pennsylvania\, New Jersey\, and Delaware have already signed up for the 2026 Philadelphia Cup Regatta. Add your boat to the fleet now at www.philadelphiacupregatta.com. Set for Saturday\, October 3\, on the Delaware River\, Center City Philadelphia’s only sailing regatta delivers competitive racing with the city skyline as a one-of-a-kind backdrop and a chance to earn a place on the prestigious Philadelphia Cup perpetual trophy. Hosted by Liberty Sailing Club\, Riverton Yacht Club\, and The Corinthian Yacht Club of Philadelphia\, racing is open to J27\, J22\, Lightning\, Flying Scot\, Mariner\, V15\, Laser\, Thistle\, Corinthian Sloop\, and Sunfish classes\, plus PHRF boats. Sail something else? Rally two other boats in your class\, and you’ve got a race! \n  \n“We look forward to welcoming sailors from across the tri-state area to race in the heart of Philadelphia\, where the Delaware River and city skyline create a dynamic venue that’s every bit as exciting for spectators along the waterfront\,” says Laura Ness\, regatta director. “New this year\, the Awards Ceremony adds a patriotic-themed reception celebrating America’s 250th anniversary.” \n  \nPurchase Awards Ceremony and Reception Tickets: https://shop.philadelphiacupregatta.com/products/2026-philadelphia-cup-regatta-reception-ticket \n  \nRegister Now! \n  \nThe entry fee is only $40 for Lasers and Sunfish\, $55 for all other Dinghies\, and $80 for Keelboats. Late entry on October 2 and 3 is $115 per boat. This fee includes a light breakfast for competitors\, one skipper bag per boat\, and launching service for One Design boats (Sunfish\, Laser\, Flying Scot\, and Lightning) at the Independence Seaport Museum’s boat basin or via a boat access ramp at Race Street and Columbus. Boat slips are available at Penn’s Landing Marina\, Pier 3 and Pier 5\, and Wiggins Park Marina\, but are not included in the entry fee and are not guaranteed. A lift will be available for trailered boats such as Flying Scots and Lightnings. The competitors’ check-in will be at the Independence Seaport Museum in The Seaport Boat Shop. The regatta will be governed by The Racing Rules of Sailing for 2025-2028 (RRS)\, including the prescriptions of U.S. Sailing except as modified by the Sailing Instructions. \n  \nRacing boats will launch from the start line off Penn’s Landing for round-the-buoy racing\, navigating current\, fellow competitors\, and wind in the Delaware River. The first start is at 10:30 a.m.\, with the last race starting no later than 3:30 p.m. Racecourses will be set north of the Ben Franklin Bridge south to the U.S. Coast Guard Sector Delaware Bay base\, only a little over a 1-mile long in distance\, so that spectators can catch some of the action all along the waterfront. The Awards Ceremony and waterfront afterparty follow. \n  \nReady to Race \n  \nDinghies and keelboats\, from 14′ Laser to 30′ J/30\, are ready to race. \n  \nOne of these is the 19′ Flying Scot\, named Flying Scot\, skippered by Riverton\, NJ’s Arthur Littleton. This isn’t Littleton’s first Philadelphia Cup Regatta. He sailed several years ago in a Sunfish. This year\, he and his crew are one of three Flying Scots representing the Riverton Yacht Club in this one-design. \n  \nIt is not often you get to race in front of Penn’s Landing with the Philadelphia skyline in full view. For me\, it has been 10-15 years. Supporting sailing events like this helps keep sailboat racing alive. A lot of effort goes into planning a regatta\, and Riverton Yacht Club is helping promote and support Liberty in making it a success\,” says Littleton. \n  \nThe historic Delaware and Tinicum\, 24-foot Corinthian Sloops\, designed by Philadelphia naval architect Thomas Bowes in 1951\, will be on the start line this year. The Delaware was rebuilt in 2018 and the Tinicum in 2023 at Independence Seaport Museum’s Seaport Boat Shop to help revive one-design Corinthian Sloop racing on the Delaware River. \n  \n“I’ve always seen the Philadelphia Cup as a great way to showcase the recreational sailing that is thriving on the Delaware River. Now that the event has returned to the Delaware\, it seems like a great opportunity to get two historic Philadelphia boats racing on the river again. The hope is to garner interest not only in this class of boat but in all boats\, both modern and traditional\, and to continue growing recreational sailing in Philadelphia. Crew for both boats is still being assembled. In the meantime\, we are freshening up paint and varnish on both boats and preparing the rigging for race day\,” says Dormond\, director of Boat Shop and Waterfront Operations. \n  \nOrganizers of The Philadelphia Cup Regatta thank Con Murphy’s Irish Pub\, the Delaware River Waterfront Corporation\, SeaPhilly\, Mainstay\, Campari\, Penn’s Landing Marina Pier 3 and Pier 5\, and Live! Casino & Hotel for their sponsorship. \n  \nPast to Present \n  \nThe Philadelphia Cup Regatta was first hosted by Liberty Sailing Club\, Riverton Yacht Club\, and The Corinthian Yacht Club of Philadelphia from 2011 to 2016 and returned in 2024. The Cup itself dates back over 40 years. \n  \nFor more information\, visit www.philadelphiacupregatta.com/ or contact the regatta director at info@philadelphiacupregatta.com.

If we laugh about it\, can we transform it? \nIn her 18th original solo show across 30 years of Philadelphia Fringe Festival appearances\, Jennifer Blaine playfully confronts today’s challenging reality for women through a personal lens. Armed with her brilliant impersonation skills\, and her virtuosic ability to juggle humor and poignant perspectives\, Blaine illustrates how she transforms her Raw Deal into a source of strength\, inspiration\, and power. \nIn addition to critiquing the current state of the union for women with her crackling wit\, audiences can expect special “appearances” by a surprising range of real-life characters\, from Emily Post to Nate Bergatze to Marianne Williamson. The show also features some of Blaine’s hysterical cast of beloved original characters including her old Jewish Grandma\, Ruth (who will have you rolling with laughter at her dirty jokes) and her “everyman\,” Danny (who doles out dating advice for incels). \nReflecting on the incredible feat of debuting 18 solo performance works across 30 years of Fringe appearances\, Blaine says: “My art form is the solo show\, and it’s always an evolving craft\, where I employ the crucible of transformation. Some shows have been pure stand-up\, some have 12 characters with no narration\, some have songs\, some are highly interactive\, some are satirical. ‘Raw Deal’ combines many of these elements\, along with some personal confessions of raw deals in my life that I believe will resonate in their absurdity and universality. With this show\, I celebrate the sometimes quiet\, solitary struggle we are going through to overthrow the patriarchy\, each in our own unique way.” \nBlaine\, Philadelphia’s acclaimed solo performer\, comedienne\, and playwright “whose comic genius is like Lily Tomlin and Tracey Ullman” (Philadelphia Daily News)\, has been an outspoken feminist since she could walk. As a girl\, she marched for the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA)\, later became a Women’s Studies major at the famously progressive Wesleyan University\, and continues to speak out for women’s issues and experiences through her own extraordinary body of solo performance work.

If not\, how do you get there? \nGain insights into happiness with Eric Zillmer\, an award-winning teacher who leads a creative think tank that investigates the ingredients for happiness among individual people and communities. He has graciously agreed to come back to the Fishtown’s Black Squirrel Club to deliver a talk on happiness that sold out and received rave reviews when he gave it last spring. \nYou’ll learn how the study of happiness is a growing\, evidence-based field known as positive psychology\, which aims to find solutions to happiness challenges that can bring positive change to our lives and environments. \nDr. Zillmer will discuss the meaning of happiness and its place in our lives and society. He’ll draw from recent science and great thinkers in discussing how we can increase our own happiness and well-being\, throwing out a few practical tips as well. \nHe’ll talk about whether happiness can be measured and where in our brain happiness is located. We’ll look at the influence of socializing and social media on our happiness and about the roles that music\, humor\, adversity\, and regret have in happiness research. \nDr. Zillmer will discuss what we learn about happiness from competitive sports\, and he’ll suggest ten actions that you can engage in that will make you happier. \nThe talk coincides with an immersive installation by Dr. Zillmer at The Study at University City at 20 S. 33rd Street until November 15th.

A story about the life of a gifted artist and ingenious comedian who becomes schizophrenic and takes off hitchhiking across America in a futile effort to outrun his mental illness.  \nArrives at 2026 Philadelphia Fringe Festival \, Limited Engagement\, September 18-27\, 2026 \n“As Director\, I am so excited to bring this beautiful piece to the Philadelphia Fringe Festival” – Eric Tucker\, Artistic Director\, Bedlam Theatre Co\, NYC \n“It is a privilege to be let into her world. When this raw honesty is revealed\, its gravity is gripping” – All About Solo\, United Solo Festival \n“Monologues explode like bombs in slow motion…Ms. Block’s performance was brilliant.” – Hi-Drama\, William Cataldi \n\n\n\nMEDIA KIT FOR DOWNLOAD\n\n\n\nPhiladelphia\, PA: What if you thought the funniest and saddest thing you could ever write/act would be the story of your crazy brother taken directly from his own “manifesto” about his own illness?  In Shatterproof\, a solo show written and performed by Dana Block\, that’s exactly what is going down.  Dana Block draws on a world created by her brother in cartoons\, rants and ravings\, and tells the story of their artistic Jewish family in rural Missouri\, bringing each character fully to life on stage\, including the hallucinated ones!  In this boiling pot of mental illness and art\, life is precariously balanced.  This beautifully imagined one-woman show\, directed by award-winning Artistic Director of Bedlam Theatre Co\, Eric Tucker\, is headed to an Off-Broadway debut in November\, 2026.  It is not to be missed. Shatterproof is a true story\, given voice by a sibling who knows first hand\, the heartbreak of trying to save someone who is irretrievably lost.  Shatterproof (formerly produced as “Monkey Man” ) has been called “hilarious and heart breaking.” The limited engagement will play Icebox Project Space Gallery (1400 N American St\, Philadelphia\, PA) from September 18-27\, 2026. Tickets are available now via this link. \nShatterproof\, Dana Block’s autobiographical dark comedy comes to Philadelphia for three performances on September 18\, 26\, and 27 before its anticipated NYC Showcase run. Equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking\, the play tells the story of a sister’s quest to help her younger brother — a gifted artist and comedian (think Robyn Williams) – whose schizophrenia sends him on the road hitchhiking for decades. Inspired by Block’s own experiences growing up in a close-knit Jewish family\, Shatterproof gives voice to the sibling experience of losing a cherished loved one to an illness whose only promise is\, it cannot be cured.   \nShatterproof shares a wildly funny portrait of an artistic Jewish family from St. Joseph\, Missouri\, before unfolding the extraordinary story of Dana’s relationship with her brother. As a teenager\, Marc’s schizophrenia leads him to hitchhike across America in an attempt to outrun his illness and find himself. Twenty years later\, Dana begins a journey of her own—to try to bring back her brother.  \nThe original material for the show is drawn from Marc’s journals\, drawings\, and writings\, and brings audiences inside both the brilliance and chaos of his mental illness. Through humor\, honesty and compassion\, the play invites audiences to laugh at Marc\, laugh with Marc\, and fall in love with Marc and his utterly mischievous personality. \nThe title Shatterproof reflects the role Dana found herself playing within her family: the person who could hold the center and the only person who had the guts to go out and to try to find him. Dana discovered that loving her brother did not mean having the power to make decisions for him — it meant learning to accept that regardless\, he had possession of his own life and that it was his right to live it as he wanted. \nAt a time when conversations about mental health have never been more urgent\, Shatterproof reminds us that behind every diagnosis is a family painfully navigating impossible choices—and that even in our darkest moments\, laughter can become an act of survival. Catch Shatterproof before its Off-Broadway run and experience this extraordinary true story. \n### \nShatterproof \nWritten by Dana Block \nPerformed by Dana Block \nDirected by Eric Tucker \nIcebox Project Space Gallery (1400 N American St\, Philadelphia\, PA) \nPerformances September 18-27\, 2026 \nTickets at FringeArts.com \nBIOS \nDana Block (Actor) is a classically trained actor and writer who has created and toured 4 original solo shows\, and developed a full-length play under the tutelage of Edward Albee\, acting Master Playwright at Road Less Traveled Theater in Buffalo\, NY\, 2010.

Presented through Cannonball’s Immersive Track Cohort as part of the 2026 Philadelphia Fringe Festival\, the production runs for just three performances\, September 25–27\, 2026\, at Asian Arts Initiative’s Black Box Theater. \nBilled as “America’s one-and-only adoption-themed game show\,” The Adoption Game transforms the theatre into a live studio audience. Under the watchful eye of dazzling host Andre Devon\, spectators encounter applause signs\, prizes\, audience games\, commercial breaks\, and all the polished machinery of televised entertainment. Beneath the spectacle is a more vulnerable question: What happens when the child at the center of an adoption story finally gets to control the narrative?
