Cannonball and Philly Fringe present Murder Most Felt; or It's Not Easy Bleeding Green an interactive puppet murder mystery.It is a dark and stormy night and veteran detective Jack Russell is murdered at his own retirement party. Among those in attendance: his amphibian butler, a no-nonsense police inspector, his aquatic archenemy, an incomprehensible chef, a reanimated corpse, and... ... 8th President Martin Van Buren? Using nothing but their wits, ragdoll physics, and just a bit of audience participation, it is up to this eclectic band of familiar but legally distinct puppets to figure out which one of them is a killer before they strike again.

The Historical Society of Frankford, 1507 Orthodox st, Philadelphia

The Historical Society of Frankford (HSF) today announced&nbsp;that it will host historian Jeff Denman speaking at its September 8, 2026 monthly meeting and&nbsp;lecture. Denman will discuss his new book Philadelphia Quakers and the American Revolution,&nbsp;Charlestown, SC: The History Press, 2026.Fleeing political upheavals in England for settlement in the New World, Quakers rose to&nbsp;unprecedented economic and political power in the Pennsylvania colony. However, the failure of the&nbsp;Quaker-dominated government to provide for defense in the wars from the 1730s into the 1760s&nbsp;was the beginning of their downfall. By the Revolution, their fortunes had waned, and they were&nbsp;brutally suppressed by their political foes. Seventeen Quakers and three others were exiled to&nbsp;Virginia without so much as a hearing, and Quaker farms and businesses were subject to depredations. Labeled dissenters by Loyalist and Patriot alike, they stood their ground, alone and&nbsp;isolated. The book vividly describes the precipitous rise of the Philadelphia Quakers and their fall&nbsp;during the American Revolution. Copies will be available for purchase and signing.Denman is a retired American history and geography teacher from the Brookline Public Schools in&nbsp;Brookline, Massachusetts. He has written widely on topics in American history. Denman holds a&nbsp;bachelor of science degree from the University of Maine and a Master of Arts degree from the University of Connecticut.&nbsp;The meeting and lecture will occur at the HSF library/museum at 1507 Orthodox St, Philadelphia. It&nbsp;will also be livestreamed on the HSF Facebook page. The event is free and open to the public, and&nbsp;free off-street parking is available across Orthodox Street at the Frankford Friends School. Doors&nbsp;open at 7:00 PM. Light refreshments will be served before and after the lecture.

Historical Society of Frankford September Meeting and Lecture

The Historical Society of  Frankford, 1507 Orthodox St, Philadelphia

Using historic maps, photographs, artifacts, and documents, the Historical Society of Frankford's new exhibit&nbsp;Frankford and the 1876 Centennial provides a snapshot of Frankford at the time of the U.S. Centennial. Still in the midst of an industrial depression, Frankford’s developing industries were not heavily represented at the Exhibition, but they were the heartbeat of the neighborhood. The fair offered Frankford visitors technological expertise and inspiration, as well as a wide variety of souvenirs. Among the artifacts preserved in the Historical Society of Frankford’s collections is a rare carved chair from the Pennsylvania Pavilion, a match to ones owned by the Smithsonian Institution, the Atwater Kent holdings, and in a private collection.
The exhibit opens Tuesday evening, September 8, for the Historical Society of Frankford's monthly lecture and runs through the Semiquincentennial year. Admission is free during the Society's current opening hours: Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The same evening as the exhibit opening, historian Jeff Denman will speak about his new book, Philadelphia Quakers and the American Revolution. Denman shows how the Quakers’ pacifist beliefs ran afoul of revolutionary passions, undoing their control of Pennsylvania politics and government. Copies will be available for purchase and signing.

The Historical Society of Frankford is located at 1507 Orthodox St, Philadelphia. Doors open at 7:00 PM, and Denman’s presentation begins at 7:30. It will also stream live on the HSF Facebook page. The lecture is also free and open to the public. Free, off street parking will be available across Orthodox Street at the Frankford Friends School. Light refreshments will be served before and after the presentation.&nbsp;

Please join us for two intriguing examinations of Frankford and Philadelphia history.

<h3>Event description</h3>
Fall Down / Stand Up: Mastering the Art of Fall Prevention and Fall Recovery is a free 10-week community program designed to help older adults feel stronger, steadier, more prepared, and more confident.
Falls can affect far more than physical health. They can change someone’s independence, willingness to leave home, comfort navigating stairs and uneven sidewalks, and ability to continue participating in everyday activities.
Fall Down / Stand Up addresses both sides of the challenge:
<ul>
<li>
Stephen Cornely of Triad Wellness Philly will teach strength, balance, reaction, and movement skills designed to help participants reduce their fall risk.
</li>
<li>
Judith Sachs of Anyone Can Move will teach practical strategies for safely approaching the ground, practicing falling techniques on padded gym mats, moving after a fall, and getting back up with greater confidence.
</li>
</ul>
The goal is not to make people more fearful of falling. It is to help participants become stronger, more capable, and better prepared.
Independence Blue Cross is fully funding the program, allowing all 10 weeks to be offered completely free to participants.

Born To Sing The Gospel: The Story of Marion Williams

“Where our baggage is yours!” Welcome to the Bearded Ladies’ Hairport, an interactive installation &amp; performance series built on 16-years of accumulated baggage from a queer cabaret company devoted to art, care, mess, and community. While you’re waiting for a flight that may never take off, unpack your baggage and rifle through some of ours. You may recognize something as your own, or find something you never knew you were carrying.
Made for anyone who has ever lost a bag, gotten stuck, or missed a (metaphoric) flight, this trans(formational) installation asks: how do you know it’s time to move on when you don’t know where you’re going?
Produced by The Bearded Ladies Cabaret Part of FringeArt’s 2026 Festival &amp; Collective Futures
Installation on view September 10-December 20, 2026 at The Hairport | 444 N 3rd Street, Philadelphia PA 19123
Installation hours: Wednesday, Thursday &amp; Friday 4-9PM | Last timed entry at 8:15PM Saturday &amp; Sunday 11AM-3PM| Last timed entry at 2:15PM
Live events at The Hairport | Saturdays at 8PM
The Hairport is an interactive, immersive installation filled with costumes, cardboard props, and other ephemera from the Bearded Ladies Cabaret’s 16-year performance history. Visitors will make their way through a sprawling multi-room space made to look like a fantastical, metaphorical “airport”. Visitors will be invited to interact with components of the installation and may encounter docents in guiding roles. The experience will culminate in a “lounge” space full of “Bearded baggage” which will also serve as the performance site for the Now Hoarding: In-Flight Entertainment live event series.
It will take visitors approximately 60-75 minutes to view the entirety of the Priority Hoarding installation. Groups of 6 will enter the installation, at 15-minute timed entry intervals. An opportunity to ride a Surrey bike is offered but not required.

The auction also includes numerous coordinated bar-height and café table sets. Tables feature wood, white laminate, and faux marble tops paired with black, chrome, brushed metal, or black-and-brass pedestal and frame designs.

With 40 lots largely devoted to coordinated commercial seating and tables, the sale provides an opportunity to acquire chairs in multiples rather than individually.
