SUMMARY:archy & mehitabel
DESCRIPTION:We’re celebrating Mel Brooks’ 100th birthday by bringing one of his long overlooked musicals to Philly Fringe! \nIn a deserted office\, a cockroach dives headfirst onto the keys of a typewriter\, pouring out the ruminations of his soul. It’s archy (he’s too small to hold down the shift key)\, poet\, philosopher\, moralist and futile worshipper of mehitabel\, the alley cat. This bare bones\, bizarre\, highly original musical takes us into the streets of the big city as archy tries hopelessly to bring the toujours gai mehitabel off the back fence and into a respectable home as a housecat. \nDon’t miss this one-night only opportunity to discover a rarely performed golden age gem!

SUMMARY:Practicing Attention—But Why?
DESCRIPTION:Drawing on themes from her bestselling 2019 book How to Do Nothing\, Jenny Odell will examine anxieties about our ability to focus and the way that the issue is often emptied of social\, political\, and spiritual content. Like anything else\, the practice of paying attention can be aimed at increased productivity for productivity’s sake—or worse\, an abstract valuing of mental “performance.” She will argue that much of modern advice regarding the practice of attention is inadequate because it misses the role of purpose\, commitment\, and love. \nA book signing will follow the lecture and Q&A. \nDrawing on themes from her bestselling 2019 book How to Do Nothing\, Jenny Odell will examine anxieties about our ability to focus and the way that the issue is often emptied of social\, political\, and spiritual content. Like anything else\, the practice of paying attention can be aimed at increased productivity for productivity’s sake—or worse\, an abstract valuing of mental “performance.” She will argue that much of modern advice regarding the practice of attention is inadequate because it misses the role of purpose\, commitment\, and love. \nA book signing will follow the lecture and Q&A.

SUMMARY:Villanova Theatre Presents The Moors
DESCRIPTION:Villanova Theatre Presents The Moors\, from September 24 through October 4 at the Mullen Center for the Performing Arts – Court Theatre. On the desolate English moors\, a household of women guards its secrets with the same quiet care it devotes to everything else. When a governess arrives expecting a conventional post\, she discovers unwritten rules\, shifting alliances\, and very real danger. In The Moors\, every character aches to be loved\, recognized\, or feared — and at least one of them is willing to kill for it. At turns humorous\, savage\, and seductive\, Silverman’s inspired take on the Brontë sisters’ celebrated novels is a dark comedy steeped in Victorian atmosphere. Come for the gothic intrigue. Stay for the lovestruck dog.

SUMMARY:The Adoption Game
DESCRIPTION:WHO GETS TO TELL THE STORY?  \nThe Adoption Game turns transracial adoption into a darkly funny\, live game show written and performed by transracial adoptee Andrew Watring\, and directed by Gabe Moses\, invites audiences to play along—and reconsider who gets to control the stories we tell about family. \nUpstream Performance Collaborative presents the world premiere of The Adoption Game\, a darkly funny\, deeply personal\, interactive solo performance written and performed by Philadelphia theatre artist and transracial adoptee Andrew Watring. 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?
