Uncap your red pens again; The Angry Grammarian is back.
After its sold-out world premiere run in March 2024, The Angry Grammarian is returning. The world premiere production was Barrymore Recommended, named one of the top things to do in Philly by Philadelphia Magazine and Visit Philly, was raved about by The New Yorker, and was even featured internationally on BBC World Service.
And now, by popular demand, it's coming back to Philadelphia in September 2024, this time at the Arden Theatre's Arcadia Stage. The new production will include new scenes, new songs, and old rules. Read more about the plot of this musical below:
Greg is "The Angry Grammarian" – a newspaper columnist who’s passionate about predicates, consumed by commas and seduced by subjunctives. Lisa is a more pragmatic grammarian who loves language just as much as he does. What starts as attraction quickly evolves into a darker rivalry. Will grammatical gusto be enough to keep them together? Enlivened by a love of language, The Angry Grammarian is a new musical for anyone who's ever been pissed off that someone used quotation marks "for emphasis." The Angry Grammarian is written by Jeffrey Barg and David Lee White, and is inspired by Jeffrey Barg's column "The Angry Grammarian" in The Philadelphia Inquirer. The production is directed by Dawn Navarro, music directed by Pat D'Amato, and produced by Pier Players Founder and Director Chelsea Cylinder.
The remounted production of this lively, entertaining, and grammatically correct musical will take place at the Arcadia Stage at the Arden Theatre in Old City. The show runs from September 20th-29th.
$15.00 Industry and Student rush tickets will be available at the door.
