The 2026 Philadelphia Fringe Festival is on the way, stay tuned for more info!

Celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary with Bodhi’s Guide to History, a new play. In this original work, Bodhi leads a walking tour of Center City and gives his unique – and wildly inaccurate – take on American history. Bodhi is proud to do his own research, but tends to veer hilariously off track; but don't worry, the audience will wind up where the play/tour started.
Bodhi’s Guide to History is the creation of playwright Jim Hawkins, who studied theatre at Villanova University.
