Twenty years ago, New Orleans underestimated the impact of Hurricane Katrina. After Katrina hit land, aging infrastructure failed, an entire city was thrown into an unimaginable hellscape of flooding waters and crumbling humanity, and the United States Government proved institutional neglect, and systemic inequalities were (and are) still very much a part of the American way of life – especially for people of color. Two photographers, Donald Camp and Clarence Williams, reflect on that history today in their two-person exhibition Revelations: An Evolution of Introspection at the InLiquid Gallery in the Kensington neighborhood in Philadelphia, PA. With this exhibition, InLiquid aims to educate our community and share resources to prevent such tragedies from happening here in the Kensington area of Philadelphia. Ideally, this artwork and the education our programming will provide can also be shared as a resource in cities throughout the country as global climate change continues to evolve and creates the need fo…

Like discovering new cultural cuisine? Looking for a fun night out with friends? Enjoy a summer evening at the American Swedish Historical Museum to indulge in a Swedish specialty: crayfish!
At one time the lakes of central Sweden were filled with crayfish, but overfishing decimated their population. Eventually, the government prohibited the catching of crayfish except for a short time in late summer. After going the whole summer without the delicacy, the return of crayfish to the dinner table in August became a great cause for celebration, a tradition that has continued through today.
Please join us on the Museum’s stunning terrace overlooking FDR Park for a crayfish dinner on Friday, August 8th to experience our take on the Swedish crayfish tradition! Enjoy a buffet of crayfish and Swedish meatballs, alongside potatoes, cheese pie, cucumber and beet salads, desserts, and a glass of aquavit, all outside under our tent decorated with paper lanterns, festive lights, and all things crayfish!

Twenty years ago, New Orleans underestimated the impact of Hurricane Katrina. After Katrina hit land, aging infrastructure failed, an entire city was thrown into an unimaginable hellscape of flooding waters and crumbling humanity, and the United States Government proved institutional neglect, and systemic inequalities were (and are) still very much a part of the American way of life – especially for people of color. Two photographers, Donald Camp and Clarence Williams, reflect on that history today in their two-person exhibition Revelations: An Evolution of Introspection at the InLiquid Gallery in the Kensington neighborhood in Philadelphia, PA. With this exhibition, InLiquid aims to educate our community and share resources to prevent such tragedies from happening here in the Kensington area of Philadelphia. Ideally, this artwork and the education our programming will provide can also be shared as a resource in cities throughout the country as global climate change continues to evolve and creates the need fo…

"A Puppeteer with the Palsy Performs Scenes from Shakespeare" at Theatre Exile
Skerpro in association with Theatre Exile are thrilled to announce the world premiere production of "A Puppeteer with the Palsy Performs Scenes from Shakespeare or, the Ghost in the Machine" by Cary Mazer, opening at Theatre Exile on Thursday August 7 and running through Sunday August 24, 2025.

WARETOWN – A year ago, a small photo array in the Ocean County Library Waretown Branch honored several former military members in honor of Veterans Day. Today, thanks to community members who have added to it, the display fills an entire wall and is still growing.
Branch Manager Jennifer Lennon placed the first photos before Veterans Day 2023, a gesture for family members and friends who “wore the colors.” It caught the attention of patrons, visitors and neighbors who asked if they might contribute.
“We still have people coming in and taking time to look over the pictures,” Jennifer said. “They ask if everyone is local. Some ask to be added. It makes me happy every time it happens.”
There now are 55 images of local wartime and peacetime veterans, five times the size of the original display, complete with names, branches, and theaters of operation.
“I grew up in a military family. My dad, uncle and grandfather all served. So I have always had a very healthy respect for the military and its traditions,”…

Twenty years ago, New Orleans underestimated the impact of Hurricane Katrina. After Katrina hit land, aging infrastructure failed, an entire city was thrown into an unimaginable hellscape of flooding waters and crumbling humanity, and the United States Government proved institutional neglect, and systemic inequalities were (and are) still very much a part of the American way of life – especially for people of color. Two photographers, Donald Camp and Clarence Williams, reflect on that history today in their two-person exhibition Revelations: An Evolution of Introspection at the InLiquid Gallery in the Kensington neighborhood in Philadelphia, PA. With this exhibition, InLiquid aims to educate our community and share resources to prevent such tragedies from happening here in the Kensington area of Philadelphia. Ideally, this artwork and the education our programming will provide can also be shared as a resource in cities throughout the country as global climate change continues to evolve and creates the need fo…

MANCHESTER TOWNSHIP – The ball of yarn that you no longer need or want can bring warm smiles to the faces of Ocean County youngsters in need when the weather turns cold.

Twenty years ago, New Orleans underestimated the impact of Hurricane Katrina. After Katrina hit land, aging infrastructure failed, an entire city was thrown into an unimaginable hellscape of flooding waters and crumbling humanity, and the United States Government proved institutional neglect, and systemic inequalities were (and are) still very much a part of the American way of life – especially for people of color. Two photographers, Donald Camp and Clarence Williams, reflect on that history today in their two-person exhibition Revelations: An Evolution of Introspection at the InLiquid Gallery in the Kensington neighborhood in Philadelphia, PA. With this exhibition, InLiquid aims to educate our community and share resources to prevent such tragedies from happening here in the Kensington area of Philadelphia. Ideally, this artwork and the education our programming will provide can also be shared as a resource in cities throughout the country as global climate change continues to evolve and creates the need fo…

As sites of ritual self-construction, medicine cabinets are porous spaces bridging the personal and political, the corporal and corporate.

Slayed By the Bell is a murder mystery parody that takes audiences back to the halls of Bayside High — but this time, with a deadly twist.
Taking place at the Red Rum Theater in the heart of historic Philadelphia, this interactive comedy follows the gang as they prepare for their graduation dance. Mr. Belding is set to crown the King and Queen — a title that now comes with a coveted scholarship. Zack is determined to win (as usual), Lisa is in it for the fashion, Kelly dreams of college, and Slater needs to cheat just to qualify. Meanwhile, Jessie is on a mission to cancel the tradition altogether.
But before the night ends, someone won’t be making it to graduation.
Audiences are encouraged to come dressed in their best 90s gear — scrunchies, flannel, windbreakers, and all — to really get into the spirit of this killer throwback event.
Slayed By the Bell runs August 15–17, with evening and matinee performances. Tickets are $25, and cocktails will be available for purchase at the venue. While this is not a…
