Lauren Hilger’s Morality Play: A Poetry Reading

“Lauren Hilger’s Morality Play is a dance lesson in duality, when duality is multiplied, of what was, what is, real and imagined. A disquieting reassuring look at how we see who we were, Hilger’s visions feel like past and future encouragement. An all-knowing theatre performance. I found myself unable to shake one of the opening lines, “I know how to live my life now.” Because by the end of the book, I feel I do too.” —Shauna Barbosa

Sketchubator: A Sketch Comedy Incubator

Philly Sketchfest and My First Sketch return to Tattooed Mom to host another live and in-person sketch comedy open mic. Comedians all over Philadelphia can sign up at sketchubator.com/signup to read and perform their sketches with the help of some of the most experienced and funniest sketch writers and performers in the area. Hosted by Josh Higham of the My First Sketch podcast, Sketchubator is a chance for the city’s sketch comedians to hang out, have a drink, eat some food, and share some laughs. Sketches, character bits, and monologues should be under five minutes with the hopefully unnecessary reminder that Philly Sketchfest will not condone hateful material.
