It's a full house at the Arden this month, and we couldn't be happier about who's in it.

Congratulations to 1812 Productions on last night's opening of THIS SHOULD NEVER BE A MUSICAL — and on turning 30! Fitting that the milestone lands on our Arcadia Stage, the same room where 1812 staged their very first show three decades ago! For info: 1812productions.org/this-should-never-be-a-musical

And tonight, DECLARATION opens in our Bob & Selma Horan Studio as part of FringeArts — a solo show written and performed by Joe Torsella. For info: phillyfringe.org/events/declaration

Go see them both!

What a fantastic first weekend of shows! Our audiences were so creative with their musical suggestions and gave us so many hilarious moments! You are definitely going to want to catch this show (maybe more than once - it's a new musical every night!) This Should Never Be A Musical is onstage NOW!
