The Philadelphia Joke Initiative Presents

Cecily & Gwendolyn’s Fantastical Paranormal & Quantum Entanglement

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, these self-proclaimed social anthropologists will indulge their side hobby of correcting the course of human history through the use of paranormal activities and quantum entanglement.
World Premiere. Conceived and performed by Kelly Jennings and Karen Getz.

Tickets are $15.00, http://www.contactpji.com/calendar/CandG2.html
