We’ve said it already, but how about three more cheers for Kelly Jennings, Karen Getz, CUBED, The N Crowd, The Real Housewives of Philadelphia, Rare Bird Show, m@&, ComedySportz’s Improvised Shakespeare, Leo Callahan, Hello Laser, Chip Chantry, and the good folks at the Latvian Society?

We’d also like to thank our generous sponsors, as well as everyone who came out to see all the shows that were part of Cecily and Gwendolyn’s Fantastical Balloon Ride. Your support means so much to us. We can’t do it without you!

Now presenting, for your amusement: A video! Cecily and Gwendolyn filmed this one evening in the laboratory. They had access to two Philadelphia subjects, “Joe” and “Kristen”, who were willing to participate as long as they remained off-camera. Hey, Leonard Cohen- if you’re watching, we’d loooooove to see some medical terminology on the next album. Just sayin’.

Ladies and gentlemen, tonight is the first night of the closing weekend of Cecily and Gwendolyn’s Fantastical Balloon Ride. Just four more chances to see the fully improvised Victorian time-travel adventure that audiences are raving about!

Cecily and Gwendolyn’s Fantastical… is performed at the Latvian Society, 531 N 7th Street, Phila PA 19123 (adjacent to the German Society on the corner of 7th and Spring Garden).

In their travels, Cecily and Gwendolyn have visited most cultures throughout history, so they’ve witnessed major economic upheaval first hand. They know all too well the value of currency(and during a recession, no less!). They inisited PJI keep ticket prices affordable. Admission to tonight’s 8pm performance is only $15; Friday and Saturday’s 8pm shows are just $20; and Sunday’s 7pm Closing performance is a steal at $10!

That’s the title of this next video from time-travelers/social anthropologists Cecily and Gwendolyn.

Who knew about Cecily and her stallion?

If you weren’t already watching C&G on their YouTube Channel, why not start today? For Monday is the day that all changes be made. Yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s in the Bible.

You can also catch Cec and Gwen, LIVE, this Wednesday at 8pm as part of the Mike Connor Travelogues.

Cecily and Gwendolyn’s fantastical video series

If you’re one of those whiners who likes to bitch abot Christmas happening earlier and earlier every year, then you’re going to HATE this blog post. Even though it’s not even December yet, PJI is already gearing up for its January production of Cecily and Gwendolyn’s Fantastical Balloon Ride.

WHO? Glad you asked. Cecily and Gwendolyn are two slightly mad Victorian time travelers created by Karen Getz and Kelly Jennings. In this completely improvised, two-person, audience-interactive extravaganza, Cec and Gwen (self proclaimed social anthropologists) “discover” new civilizations and boldly go where no self-respecting Victorian woman would ever dare! We like to think of it as the show Oscar Wilde didn’t have the courage to write.

PJI is having a Cec & Gwen production meeting today, and while we’d love to tell you about it, we think you’d be bored to tears. Insider knowldege is only sexy if there is a lot of backstabbing and substance abuse. The only substance we’ll abusing today is expensive cheese.

Instead, check out this video of Cecily & Gwendolyn answering viewer questions:
