This is the Week That Is

This is the Week That Is. Part of the Philadelphia theatre scene for the past 15 years, this show delivers sharp political satire that changes with the headlines and includes musical parodies, sketch and improvised comedy that’s a hilarious mix of SNL and The Daily Show. “Holiday cheer is in plentiful supply in 1812’s beloved annual revue — and oh boy, do we need it.”
