Philly has a new theater, in case you haven’t heard… and it’s just a short walk from The Residences at Dockside. Check out the new Penn’s Landing Playhouse, located on the waterfront in the Independence Seaport Museum, at 211 South Columbus Blvd. & Walnut St., right next door to the Hyatt Hotel.

The space was built in 1976 as a music performance venue and has been mostly used (or under-used) by classical groups and presenters, most recently the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society. Now, it will be home to first-class theatrical productions and touring shows – beginning with the new play, “You Say Tomato, I Say Shut Up,” a hilarious comedy about relationships, love & marriage, which just opened on September 18th and runs through November 24th. The box office is open every day at 10 am. Why not take a walk over this weekend to check it out and get your tickets?
