After touring Europe with his second hour of standup, NYC comedian TJ is heading to Philadelphia for one night only! Bringing his signature wit and conversational delivery on stage, he tackles his ongoing immigration journey in the United States, religion, languages, and why America might be near the end of its run as the world’s most powerful empire. It’s TJ’s most insightful and funniest hour yet. It’s not a show for the faint of heart, but if you love standup comedy, then you surely will love this show!

It is our pleasure to present LOVE LETTERS, written by A.R.Gurney in 1988. It was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The play centers on two characters, Melissa Gardner and Andrew Makepeace Ladd III. Using the epistolary form sometimes found in novels, they sit side by side at tables and read the notes, letters and cards – in which over nearly 50 years, they discuss their hopes and ambitions, dreams and disappointments, victories and defeats – that have passed between them throughout their separated lives. Joining the ranks of the many thespians who have appeared in LOVE LETTERS will be our own Mr. John Cannon and his leading lady Helen McCrane, directed by Ms. Elizabeth Chomentowski.
