SUMMARY:Neighborhood House Play Festival
DESCRIPTION:In August\, we presented the inaugural version of a short play competition inviting script submissions with the theme of “revolutionary spirit.” This theme elicited an eclectic mix of creative artists using varied mediums. The top plays (selected by the audience) received support from Christ Church Neighborhood House (CCNH) to cover production costs for the 2022 Fringe Festival\, plus the use of our fully-equipped Neighborhood House Theater\, rehearsal space\, technical assistance\, and publicity. \nChrist Church Neighborhood House Program’s mission is simple – to support artists and audiences by providing a platform for the creation and curation of new work. As the Neighborhood House Program evolves\, we hope to offer more artistic residency and presenting opportunities that contextualize our unique history and offer space to emerging artists. \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 JonczakDemocratic Senator Joe Manchin III is eaten alive by a mysterious woman in this new satirical musical that’s not at all based on Man of La Mancha. \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

SUMMARY:GO AHEAD
DESCRIPTION:Have you pondered whether liveband karaoke and screaming songs about heartbreak while walking along the Delaware River can really change your life? GO AHEAD will playfully explore self-regulation\, self-doubt\, and self-acceptance through autobiographical story-telling and live music. \nThe experience will simulate a live pub event by incorporating an actual *open-mic where artists can sign-up for slots as part of the proceedings. It also pays tribute to Jenny Lewis\, the singer of Rilo Kiley—whose song Go Ahead inspired the title of the show. \n*This show incorporates an actual open-mic where artists can sign-up to perform. Spots are extremely limited (3 slots per show date) due to the structure of the piece. First come first served. \nPlease note: all open-mic participants must sign up ahead of time as there will be no way to sign up live at the show. All participants must also have a ticket. Sign-up instructions will be sent once tickets have been purchased. If you want to sign up for the open-mic but the ticket price is prohibitive\, please email jamesharoinstorage@gmail.com. \nFor ages 18+ \nCONTENT CONSIDERATIONS \nThis performance contains brief graphic language—swearing/cursing and discussions about mental health. \nHEALTH & SAFETY \nProof of vaccination is required to attend this event\, and masks must be worn for the duration of the performance. Audience members will be asked to show proof of vaccination before entering the venue. Both digital and physical proof of vaccination are accepted. Please plan accordingly. \nCREDITS \nCreator/Performer: James Haro\, Music/Lyrics: James Haro In Storage\, Director: Jenna Kuerzi\, Additional Instrumentation: Josh Totora\, Production Stage Manager: MJ Gifford\, Dramaturgical Consultant: Alix Rosenfeld\, Design Consultant: Minou Pourshariati \nABOUT THE ARTIST \nJames Haro In Storage is a music project of James Haro (no kidding) that started in 2021. 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
