Walking Fish Theatre Dining Partners Program

September 3, 2009 · Leave a Comment

For the third year in a row, Walking Fish Theatre will be part of the Philly Fringe Festival. “Fractured Fairy Tales”, directed by Michelle Pauls of B. Someday Productions, is a fast-paced, madcap, interactive live performance for kids and adults. By partnering with local restaurants, Walking Fish Theatre is hoping the audience will take the opportunity to stay in the neighborhood enjoy the local flavors!

Here’s how it works. If you check out “Fractured Fairy Tales”, take your program and ticket stub to one of the following eateries: Sketch Burger (413 E. Girard), Ida Mae’s Bruncherie (2302 E. Norris St), Hinge Café (2652 E. Somerset) or O’Reilly’s Pub (2672 Frankford Avenue). These partners are offering special deals, just because you went and had a fabulous time at Walking Fish Theatre!

Did you already enjoy delicious meal at one of these fine establishments, but your itching for something to do? If you dine at one of our partners between September 5th and September 19th, you can bring your receipt and a card from your server to the theatre at 2509 Frankford Avenue. You can expect 2 tickets to “Fractured Fairytales” for the price of 1!

What do these sweet deals look like?
Sketch Burger - This Girard Ave delight is offering a free order of fries with any burger.
O’Reilly’s – Half priced appetizer and just 2 short blocks from the theatre!
Ida Mae’s Bruncherie – Named after one of the shoes character’s, ask for “Little Red in the Hood” (translation: cherry cheesecake perogies)
Hinge Cafe – You’ll have to check it out to see what this Port Richmond favorite has up it’s sleeve for you.

Tickets to the show are $5 and can be purchased at the door or through the Fringe Festival Box Office, 215-413-1318, 5th & Fairmount Streets in Northern Liberties. You may also purchase your tickets online at www.livearts-fringe.org.

Dates for “Fractured Fairy Tales” are: September 5, 12, 19 @ 12:00 noon and September 6, 13 @ 2:00pm.

Due to scheduling conflicts, Restaurant Week now runs from Friday, May 1st to Wednesday,  May 6th. To celebrate, 12 restaurants in Fishtown, Kensington and Port Richmond will offer either fixed-price menus or entrees ranging from $10-$30. Discover the diverse flavors of the north river wards, ranging from pub fare to Italian,  from Yugoslavian  to American traditional.  Since January 2007, the Fishtown and Kensington area has attracted nine new eateries, with more on the way! Our river wards restaurateurs are thrilled that local residents have been choosing to spend their dollars in the neighborhoods, and look forward to seeing much more of them throughout 2009.

Participating Restaurants include:
Bistro Juliana, Ida Mae’s Bruncherie, Jovan’s Place, O’Reilly’s Pub, Hot Potato Cafe, Sketch Burger,  Hinge Café, Cassizzi’s Pizzeria, Johnny Brenda’s Tavern, Green Rock Tavern, New Wave Cafe,  Mercer Cafe. Read all about them on the Participating Restaurants Page.

This is a project organized by local restaurant owners with assistance from the  NKCDC’s Economic Development Program.
