CURTAIN CALL: B. Someday + Walking Fish Theatre = A match made in Fishtown heaven
Since 1993, B. Someday Productions has had a single mission – to bring quality, community theater to the Philadelphia area. It wasn’t until 2005, however, that they found their true home in the Walking Fish Theatre (2509 Frankford Ave.). Since then, the good people at B. Someday and Walking Fish have become a a genuine community staple — bringing quality productions, acting classes and charity outreach to Fishtown.
What truly makes B. Someday different from other small theater companies in the Philadelphia area is this connection to their community. As Stan Heleva, the man in charge of Walking Fish told me, it’s “all about the community because we’re out here in Fishtown, where it’s not like being in [the] Center City ... theater district." B. Someday and their theater home have committed themselves to “bringing artists and community together using theater, literature and myth."
Another thing that makes Walking Fish so accessible to Fishtowners is their mission to keep ticket prices down and offer affordable classes for children and adults. They even distribute fresh fruits and vegetables every Thursday with their Community Supported Agriculture program. But, above all, it's the quality productions happening year round at Walking Fish that provide the greatest service to the surrounding community.
Starting tonight through June 19, the B. Someday production of "Funny Dangerous" will feature two one act plays by renowned playwrights Mark Borkowski and Walt Vail. Borkowski’s Within the Skins of Saints tells the story of a down-on-his-luck drifter who attempts to talk a woman out of committing suicide. Vail’s The Neighbors is a black comedy about a young couple with marital problems and the neighbors that observe them through the blinds. The Walking Fish Theatre will also be hosting the comedy group High Dramma as they perform their annual “Best Of” show, as well as a variety of other great performances.
