We asked 4 Philadelphia-based playwrights to submit short works (10-30 minute pieces) with the theme of “revolutionary spirit.” This theme elicited an eclectic mix of creative artists using varied mediums. \nThe top 2 plays (which will be selected by the audience and our judges) will each receive $1\,000 from CCNH to cover production costs for an expanded version of their piece for the Fringe Festival 2022 show on Saturday\, September 10\, plus the use of our fully equipped Neighborhood House Theater\, rehearsal space\, technical assistance\, and publicity. \nHOW IT WORKS \nUpon checking in for the festival\, audience members will be presented with a pencil a note card\, and a voting card. After each play\, the audience will have time to write down their thoughts or some notes or questions about the piece. At the end of the final performance\, ushers will collect the voting cards from each audience member. After the show\, audience members will have the opportunity to mingle with playwrights in the theater lobby to discuss their pieces. \nAll votes will be counted and our judges will deliberate and the plays moving on to the Fringe Festival will be announced via Instagram\, Facebook\, and email. \nWine\, beer\, and snacks will be available. \nWhile the Neighborhood House Play Fest is free admission\, we greatly appreciate any donation you are able to make to the CCNH program. The Neighborhood House has served populations in need and the immediate Old City community since opening its doors in 1915. Today\, Neighborhood House is a performance venue and gathering place through which Christ Church Preservation Trust supports arts programming and cross-disciplinary performing artists through subsidized rehearsal and performance rentals. \nYour donations help artists continue to imagine new and experimental works in our ADA-accessible theater and throughout the broader historic Christ Church campus. \nABOUT THE PLAYS \nMan of La ManchinBy Nick JonczakMusic by James AllenLyrics by James Allen and Nick JonczakIn this musical dark comedy about Senator Joe Manchin\, Aldonza offers a radical proposal to feed the soul of our nation. \nHere Lies HarperBy Chelsea EatonIn this one-act\, one-woman play\, a thirty-something woman grapples with entering the Witness Protection Program. Staring into the bathroom mirror at the Federal courthouse in Center City Philadelphia\, she eulogizes her old identity as she tentatively steps into her new one. \nLife After MeBy Peter ChristianA solo requiem in five parts to honor the memory of a loved one lost to suicide. The music incorporates dozens of vocal layers and loops drawn from recent and ancient memory. The listener is immersed in a rippling world of impossible questions\, eventually finding solace in simple melodies and hopeful reflections. \nNeonatalBy Joe MadsenA woman walks into her apartment to find a half-naked masked man chained to her radiator. She has no clue how he got there\, and she’s equally perplexed by his demands to be released as if she were his captor. This is how ‘Neonatal’ begins. Taking the theme of revolution at a very personal level\, the play tells the story of where redemption can start between two people who once loved each other but fell apart over years of grief and destruction. Thrust into an unwittingly mortifying situation that shatters the ice between them\, they dissect whether they can rebuild\, if they even want to\, and what the rebirth of their bond might look like. \n \n Reserve Tickets URL:https://neighborhood-house.com/event/neighborhood-house-play-festival/ LOCATION:Neighborhood House\, 20 N American Street\, Philadelphia\, PA\, 19106\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://neighborhood-house.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/IMG_0013.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20220818T183000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20220818T200000 DTSTAMP:20260419T200813 CREATED:20220801T133216Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220801T133637Z UID:8788-1660847400-1660852800@neighborhood-house.com SUMMARY:Meet James Forten – Performance and Discussion DESCRIPTION:Experience the Museum of the American Revolution’s newest first-person theatrical performance at Historic Christ Church! \nMeet James Forten explores Forten’s life as a free Black Philadelphian\, Revolutionary War privateer\, and stalwart abolitionist.

He began the project underground in a literal storage room\, but his experience stretches all the way back to the short\, messy songs he wrote in 6th grade. In 2021\, Haro created the digital solo show GO for Philadelphia’s SoLow Fest\, the first in a series of pieces that features James Haro In Storage songs (“Floor Song” and “This Came From A Line”) and interweaves autobiographical storytelling. Other songs include “Crazy Eights”\, “Cask”\, and “Helix”. \nJames Haro is a Mexican-American playwright/producer and singer/songwriter born and raised in Los Angeles\, based in Philly. Plays: COMMENTARY\, A Bru Story (Or\, Five Years)\, Post-April\, Stab Play\, What It Looks Like (Or\, Something Resembling…). Haro grew up listening to the tape cassettes that were played in his mom’s black Mustang. His first instrument was a black bass guitar that his dad bought from a friend at work that came with a strap with skulls painted on it. \nHaro taught himself how to play and eventually brought his acoustic guitar out east with him when we left home to attend Drexel University. After graduating\, he worked as a stage manager\, theatre producer\, and nonprofit arts administrator. In his late 20s\, Haro was inspired to invest more in his music and began training with artist and vocal coach Martha Stuckey. His year of work with Martha eventually produced new songs\, strengthened confidence in his voice\, and led to streaming online performances. In the Fall\, he performed at his first-ever live open-mic in Philadelphia—13 years after his arrival to the city—and has continued to sing\, create\, and perform. \nFollow: @jamesharoinstorage on Instagram \n \n Reserve Tickets URL:https://neighborhood-house.com/event/go-ahead/2022-09-28/ LOCATION:Neighborhood House\, 20 N American Street\, Philadelphia\, PA\, 19106\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://neighborhood-house.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/GOAHEAD_1280x800.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20221007T150000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20221007T190000 DTSTAMP:20260419T200813 CREATED:20220927T164117Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220927T164121Z UID:10097-1665154800-1665169200@neighborhood-house.com SUMMARY:Fall Makers Market DESCRIPTION:First Friday\, October 7\, 3-7PM! \nJoin our local vendors (new and returning) on Church Street between 2nd and American Streets for a celebration of all things local and handmade! \n \n Learn More URL:https://neighborhood-house.com/event/fall-makers-market/ LOCATION:Church Street\, 20 N American Street\, Philadelphia\, PA\, 19106\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://neighborhood-house.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/93A3547-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20221012T150000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20221012T180000 DTSTAMP:20260419T200813 CREATED:20220917T164353Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220919T005112Z UID:9834-1665586800-1665597600@neighborhood-house.com SUMMARY:Neighborhood Artist Series: Kaity Lacy DESCRIPTION:The Farmers Market runs each Wednesday from 3 to 6PM (May to November). Each week\, over 2\,000 neighbors and tourists visit the Market to shop\, socialize\, and enjoy its festive and family-friendly atmosphere. \nThe Neighborhood House Program (NHP) operates under the Christ Church Preservation Trust umbrella\, a secular nonprofit dedicated to preserving the historic Christ Church campus and strengthening the multiple communities that use it for community building\, education\, and artistic expression. \nIn 2016\, the NHP took over the struggling Farmers Market and rebranded it as the Farmers Market at Christ Church. This seasonal\, weekly offering is a much-anticipated event that attracts a diverse swath of people of all ages. This year\, The NHP plans to present a series of free performances and family-friendly art workshops that will take place during the Farmers Market. \nOn October 12\, we will feature Kaity Lacy\, a painter from Philadelphia. Kaity will be guiding families through a “paint by numbers” designed by her and inspired by the gardens at Christ Church. Using watercolor paints\, each family member will walk away with their own work of art. \nThe Christ Church Neighborhood House has served populations in need since opening its doors in 1915. Today\, the Neighborhood House serves the community as a performance venue and gathering place. We have built out the infrastructure for the performing arts to thrive here and developed the Neighborhood House into a fully functioning arts center. The intended impact is to share free performances with our neighbors to build community spirit. \n \n Donate Now URL:https://neighborhood-house.com/event/neighborhood-artist-series-kaity-lacy/ LOCATION:Church Street\, 20 N American Street\, Philadelphia\, PA\, 19106\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://neighborhood-house.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/IMG_7487_1600x.jpg.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20221020T180000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20221020T210000 DTSTAMP:20260419T200813 CREATED:20220923T134418Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221005T142706Z UID:10024-1666288800-1666299600@neighborhood-house.com SUMMARY:A Blooming Good Time: Christ Church's North Garden Rejuvenated DESCRIPTION:A fundraiser for Christ Church Preservation Trust \nCome celebrate our newly renovated North Garden with us! \n• Butlered hors d’oeuvres from Di Bruno Bros.• Signature cocktail• Silent auction• Classical guitar music by John Marcel Williams \n“Where flowers bloom\, so does hope.” – Lady Bird Johnson \nRAIN DATE: Friday\, October 21 \n \n Reserve Tickets URL:https://neighborhood-house.com/event/a-blooming-good-time-christ-churchs-north-garden-rejuvenated/ LOCATION:Christ Church Garden\, 20 N American Street\, Philadelphia\, PA\, 19106\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://neighborhood-house.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Fall-2022-Gala-5760-×-3840-px.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20221021T183000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20221021T193000 DTSTAMP:20260419T200813 CREATED:20220927T155840Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220927T155845Z UID:10088-1666377000-1666380600@neighborhood-house.com SUMMARY:Monuments and Memory: Christ Church and African American History – Part I of II DESCRIPTION:Professor Anne C.

While Pennsylvania was founded as a Quaker colony\, slavery was foundational to its early success\, and there were many links between Philadelphia and Barbados. Gerbner will look at the tensions around slavery in early America\, when many Quakers and Anglicans were trying to reconcile their Christian beliefs with slavery\, rather than trying to end human bondage. Gerbner will also show how the history of Christian Slavery helps us understand the emergence of race and White Supremacy. She will show why it’s essential to remember this uncomfortable history\, and ask what we can learn from it today. \nThis talk is cosponsored by Arch Street Meeting House. \nFREE but advanced registration is required. \n \n Register Now URL:https://neighborhood-house.com/event/christian-slavery-in-person-talk/ LOCATION:Neighborhood House\, 20 N American Street\, Philadelphia\, PA\, 19106\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://neighborhood-house.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/thumbnail_image001.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20221116T133000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20221116T190000 DTSTAMP:20260419T200814 CREATED:20220920T192613Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221017T203638Z UID:9899-1668605400-1668625200@neighborhood-house.com SUMMARY:Digitizing the Records of Philadelphia’s Historic Congregations: Hidden Stories and Surprising Uses DESCRIPTION:A five year project to digitize the records of some of Philadelphia’s most historic congregations concludes with more than 80\,000 records placed online and nearly 12\,000 of those transcribed.
