The first-ever Philly Theatre Week hits venues across the city and a little beyond in February to spotlight the artists, playwrights and theater companies in Philadelphia that make this city one of the top destinations for theater in the country. What is Philly Theatre Week? The 10-day festival for all things stage-centric in Philadelphia is a collection of 75 shows, play readings, discussion panels, concerts and networking events happening around the Greater Philadelphia region. Offerings include musicals, straight dramas, comedies, concerts and more. When is Philly Theatre Week? Philly Theatre Week 2018 runs from February 8 to 18, with events happening across the region at various times every day. How much is Philly Theatre Week and how do I get tickets? You could think of Philly Theatre Week as an event similar to Philadelphia Restaurant Week, because you’re essentially getting a buttload of theater for a set, three-tier pricing option: most shows cost either $15, $30 or—best of all—$0. Tickets can be purchased or RSVP’d at phillytheatreweek.com. In some cases, Philly Theatre Week events include productions that are part of a local companies’ regular season, so specially priced tickets are limited. That means you need to act fast if you want to nab discounted entry. What should I see at Philly Theatre Week? With more than 75 different shows on the roster, picking what to see can be tricky. We offer some of the top must-sees below.

It may have taken 52 years, but our Philadelphia Eagles can now call themselves Super Bowl champions. Led by quarterback Nick Foles, the Birds took down Tom Brady’s New England Patriots 41 to 33. The game took place in Minneapolis, at US Bank Stadium. The Eagles took the NFL by storm this year, finishing off the regular season with a 13-to-3 record. Doubters said Foles—who took over for Carson Wentz after a mid-season injury—could never lead his team to victory, but boy did he prove them wrong. Perhaps that was part of their winning recipe: The Eagles rallied behind the idea that no one believed in them, wearing the underdog mantle with pride. That not only boosted team spirit, but it inspired fans across the city, folks who flooded Broad Street after the game tonight—some wearing underdog masks—to celebrate this first in Philadelphia sports history. Where do we go from here, you may be wondering? The future is bright in the City of Brotherly Love. Just think: Next year a handful of awesome injured players—Carson Wentz, Jason Peters and Jordan Hicks among them—will be back and ready to win that Vince Lombardi trophy for themselves. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. We have a moment to savor here. Let’s go, Birds! You made us proud.
