Dark Comedy/Restaurant Week: What's Happening In South Jersey?

Here's a look at some upcoming events, courtesy our friends at Visit South Jersey:

Incorruptible: A Dark Comedy of the Dark Ages
September 13, 14, & 15 | Showtimes Vary
The Ritz Theatre Company, Haddon Township

Welcome to Priseaux, France, 1250 AD, a miserable place where the Dark Ages still look pretty dark. The locals are looking forward to the Pope’s visit, which will surely encourage others to make the trek to their town and restore its former glory. That is, until a rival church claims to posses relics of Saint Foy and "their" bones are working miracles. All seems lost until the monks take a lesson from a larcenous minstrel, who teaches them a new way to pay old debts. Performing at The Ritz Theatre Company from now through September 30th.
