Your Week: August 25th-28th
The happenings going on this week
By Victor Fiorillo
Monday
Plays & Players hosts the final Philly Fringe Preview, showcasing the best and worst of the thoroughly uncurated Philly Fringe, which begins on Friday, as does its more reliable though potentially less exciting counterpart, the Live Arts Festival.
Tuesday
I stopped believing a long time ago. If you haven’t, some version of Journey (pictured) surfaces at Susquehanna along with Cheap Trick and Heart. Melissa Manchester washes up in Ocean City. Bernadette Peters does whatever it is that she does at the Mann, along with the Philadelphia Chamber Orchestra. And First Person Arts’ First Person Story Slam carries on at L’Etage, where the storytelling theme will be "The Worst Ever." I think I have a few of those.
Wednesday
If you’ve got three hours and forty-one minutes to kill, Bryn Mawr Film Institute screens the epic Lawrence of Arabia. While the kids line up at the Jonas Brothers concert in Camden, you can scream your own head off at Citizens Bank Park as the Phils try to clobber the now first-place Mets.
Thursday
Need a laugh? Go see It’s A Mad Mad Mad Mad World outdoors at Schuylkill Banks, sketch comedy at the Philadelphia Shakespeare Festival space on Sansom, or Comedy Central’s Big Jay Oakerson at Helium.
Check back on Friday for weekend picks.
