Hamilton Family Arts Center

Pier Players Theatre Company presents the world premiere of Big Babies, a hilarious new farcical comedy by Kate Brennan and David Lee White.
Seemingly-happy couple Janus and Troy host their first adults-only dinner party since having a child, but the sophisticated night that they had hoped for takes a startling turn. In this hilarious and chaotic farcical romp, these "mature" adults devolve into the Big Babies that they truly are.
Big Babies is written by Jonathan Larson Grant Finalists Kate Brennan and David Lee White (known together as Brennan &amp; White). The show is directed by Deborah Lynn Meier and is produced by Pier Players' Artistic Director Chelsea Cylinder. This production marks Pier Players' third collaboration with David Lee White, who also wrote Etiquette and the book for The Angry Grammarian, and second collaboration with Deborah Lynn Meier, who directed their production of Ink &amp; Paint.
<ins>About Pier Players Theatre Company</ins>
Pier Players is a theatre company dedicated to promoting, supporting, and giving a platform to the Philadelphia community’s new works and new visions for pre-existing pieces. Pier Players recently received local, national, and international attention for its 2024 productions of the musical romantic comedy <a href="https://www.theangrygrammarian.com/musical" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">The Angry Grammarian</a>. The company presented the world premiere production in March 2024 at Theatre Exile, and, by popular demand, remounted the production in September 2024 at the Arden Theatre Company’s Arcadia Stage. Their work was Barrymore recommended, named one of the top things to do in Philadelphia, and was also featured in major publications, including <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/culture/comma-queen/a-musical-for-and-about-grammar-sticklers" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">The New Yorker</a>. The following spring, in March 2025, the company collaborated with The Media Theatre on the Philadelphia premiere of the new musical <a href="https://www.broadwayworld.com/philadelphia/article/Philadelphia-Premiere-of-INK-PAINT-Comes-to-the-Media-Theatre-20250212" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Ink &amp; Paint</a> by Danielle E. Moore, which just had a <a href="https://playbill.com/article/sierra-boggess-jason-gotay-gizel-jimenez-more-will-lead-ink-paint-musical-reading" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">public reading</a> in collaboration with Roundabout Theatre Company and Newport New Works starring Broadway’s Sierra Boggess and Ashley Spencer. Shortly after, Pier Players presented the first-ever production of David Lee White's <a href="https://www.broadstreetreview.com/reviews/philly-fringe-2025-pier-players-theatre-company-presents-david-lee-whites-etiquette" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Etiquette</a>, which received rave reviews and earned the company its second Barrymore Recommendation. Established in 2022, Pier Players has produced 7 different shows and has recently been recognized as <a href="https://southphillyreview.com/2026/03/29/pier-players-a-growing-part-of-phillys-arts-scene/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">"a growing part of Philly's arts scene."</a>&nbsp;

Wine School of Philadelphia

Eight weeks, 16 sessions, and the entry point to a full professional wine curriculum.
The <a href="https://www.vinology.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Philly Wine School</a>&nbsp;has taught this material since 2001. The Core course combines the school's Foundation and Intermediate programs into one semester — the full sequence in half the calendar time, and for less than taking them separately.
Each Sunday runs two sections. The first works through a wine region: France, Italy, Spain and Portugal, North America, Australia, South America. The second builds tasting skill, from sensory mechanics through varietal structure to blind identification. By week seven students are tasting blind. By week eight they are being examined on it.
The teaching is old-school and deliberately demanding — lecture, guided tasting, discussion, instructor feedback, written exams. Most students find in the first two weeks that they knew less than they thought. That is the design. Bring a notebook.
Graduates earn Level III certification from the National Wine School and can continue into the Advanced program — four semesters, 32 classes — and then to master-level study.
Keith Wallace founded the school in 2001. A Napa-trained winemaker and the author of Corked &amp; Forked, he has taught at Drexel University. Alana Zerbe is director of wine education; she holds a J.D. and an LL.M., practiced law in Washington before moving into wine full time, and developed the National Wine School's Level One and Level Three programs. Both teach this course.
Tuition covers the course workbook and tasting materials, both in-class exams, and Level III certification on completion. No prerequisites. Classes are held at 109 S. 22nd St. in Rittenhouse.
