Our beloved Valentine's Day tradition is BACK — this year, for one night only!

Tiny Dynamite’s annual Valentine’s Day performance is a hilarious, low-key way to spend the holiday with anyone you adore, whether your longtime love or lifelong friends. We’re curating an all-new collection of funny stories, romantic poetry, plenty of jokes, and heartwarming (or heartbreaking) tales of modern love. As part of A Play, a Pie, and a Pint, each ticket includes the show, a beverage, and a slice of pizza.

Join us at this year’s new venue — the Philadelphia Ethical Society, right on Rittenhouse Square.

Meet the full cast for Sunday's reading of THE AUSTENS at our birthday party for Jane Austen!

Join us for tea and a staged reading of this loving and lovely play by Sarah Rose Kearns. It is summer, 1810, at Chawton Cottage. Jane is yet unpublished. When her fierce and fiery niece Anna comes to stay, Jane considers her own place in the world — and whether her words ought to reach more of it.

Every ticket comes with a tea, a box full of tea-time treats, and a beer, wine, or soft drink. One night only: Dec. 14, beginning at 5:30pm. Tickets are strictly limited — get yours at www.tinydynamite.org!

"It’s hard to imagine a more delightful diversion this holiday season, especially in a production directed with care by Kathryn MacMillan...On a frigidly cold night when the sun has long set by the 6:30 curtain time, it’s lovely tucking into the deliciously buttery crust of a meat pie and listening to a charming story unfold before you." Thanks to Cameron Kelsall at Broad Street Review for this lovely review of GREATEST PLAY!
