SUMMARY:Profs & Pints Philadelphia: The Happiness Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Profs and Pints Philadelphia presents: “The Happiness Workshop\,” a look at what recent research and centuries of wisdom tell us about bringing more joy and contentment to our lives\, with Eric Zillmer\, professor of psychology and the director of the Happiness Lab at Drexel University. \nAre you happy? 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. Titled “The Philadelphia Happiness Map\,” it explores what makes people happy and the places in Philadelphia where they feel happiest. \nAmong the questions Dr. Zillmer will tackle in speaking at the Black Squirrel Club: What is the happiest day of the week? Can a specific place make you happy? What can we learn about happiness from travelling the world? (Advance tickets: $13.50 plus processing fees. Doors: $17\, or $15 with a student ID. Guests are welcome to arrive any time after 5:30. Talk starts at 6:30.) \nImage: Happiness in the face of a Tibetan Buddhist monk. (Photo by Wonderlane / Wikimedia Commons.)

SUMMARY:The Filangieri-Franklin Correspondence: Foundational Dialogue Between Italy and America
DESCRIPTION:The Historical Society of Pennsylvania and the Consulate General of Italy in Philadelphia are pleased to present an evening exploring one of the earliest intellectual connections between Italy and the United States. Beginning with a hybrid lecture by Professor Amedeo Arena\, Full Professor of European Union Law at the University of Naples Federico II\, the program will examine the enduring significance of the correspondence between Gaetano Filangieri and Benjamin Franklin and the Enlightenment ideals that helped shape modern conceptions of liberty\, government\, and the pursuit of happiness. Drawing on Professor Arena’s recent publication\, Cittadino di tutti i luoghi\, contemporaneo di tutte l’età: l’universalità del pensiero di Gaetano Filangieri\, the lecture will reflect on Filangieri’s influence 250 years after the Declaration of Independence. \nFollowing the lecture\, guests are invited to a reception marking both the opening of Italian Heritage Month and the debut of HSP’s exhibition\, Changing Faces of Independence: Pennsylvania in the 1900s\, which explores the evolving communities and identities that have shaped the Commonwealth’s story. A temporary exhibit of original documents related to the Filangieri-Franklin correspondence will also be on view for this evening only.

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:Sarajevo Will Be (Everything Else Will Pass)
DESCRIPTION:Lasting from 5 April 1992 to 29 February 1996 (1\,425 days)\, the siege of Sarajevo was a prolonged military blockade of Sarajevo\, the capital of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina\, during the ethnically charged Bosnian War. The city was initially besieged by the Yugoslav People’s Army\, before they were replaced by elements of the newly-formed Army of Republika Srpska. The siege was three times longer than the Battle of Stalingrad and more than a year longer than the siege of Leningrad\, making it the longest siege of a capital city in the history of modern warfare. \nWhen the siege began\, Sarajevo’s Jewish community numbered roughly a thousand people. Many were Holocaust survivors who recognized what was starting. They stayed\, and turned their community center into a pharmacy that dispensed medicine without checking ethnic ID cards\, a soup kitchen that fed anyone who walked in\, a ham radio that carried messages when the phone lines died\, and a bus convoy operation that evacuated thousands of Sarajevans\, most of who were not Jewish. \nTikkun Olam usually gets translated as repair of the world\, and then left there\, floating somewhere above the actual world. In Sarajevo this happened in the real\, present sense; it looked like counting pills\, keeping lists\, and loading buses\, for four years\, without stopping\, for whoever showed up. \nYeda Theatre traveled to Bosnia and interviewed the people who ran it\, including Jakob Finci\, the former president of the Jewish community who led twelve evacuation convoys. Those recorded voices are what created this piece\, alongside movement\, live violin and accordion\, and shadow puppetry. \nThrough movement\, we remember. Through remembering\, we act.

SUMMARY:Philly Fringe Solo Comedy Show About The Raw Deal of Being a Woman
DESCRIPTION:Why have women been handed such a “Raw Deal\,” and what can we do about it? \nFrom rights being erased\, to still carrying most of the household labor\, women are still buckling under many of the challenges their great-grandmothers marched for. 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.

SUMMARY:Pier Players Theatre Company Presents "Big Babies" - A New Comedy for Parents
DESCRIPTION:Pier Players Theatre Company presents the world premiere of Big Babies\, a hilarious new farcical comedy by Kate Brennan and David Lee White. \nSeemingly-happy couple Janus and Troy host their first adults-only dinner party since having a child\, but the sophisticated night that they had hoped for takes a startling turn. In this hilarious and chaotic farcical romp\, these “mature” adults devolve into the Big Babies that they truly are. \nBig Babies is written by Jonathan Larson Grant Finalists Kate Brennan and David Lee White (known together as Brennan & White). The show is directed by Deborah Lynn Meier and is produced by Pier Players’ Artistic Director Chelsea Cylinder. This production marks Pier Players’ third collaboration with David Lee White\, who also wrote Etiquette and the book for The Angry Grammarian\, and second collaboration with Deborah Lynn Meier\, who directed their production of Ink & Paint.
