RENTAL: The Angry Grammarian


  • Theatre Exile 1340 South 13th Street Philadelphia, PA, 19147 United States (map)

Greg is "The Angry Grammarian" – a newspaper columnist who’s passionate about predicates, consumed by commas and seduced by subjunctives. Lisa is a more pragmatic grammarian who loves language just as much as he does. What starts as attraction quickly evolves into a darker rivalry. Will grammatical gusto be enough to keep them together? Enlivened by a love of language, The Angry Grammarian is a new musical for anyone who's ever been pissed off that someone used quotation marks "for emphasis."

The Angry Grammarian is written by Jeffrey Barg and David Lee White, and is inspired by Jeffrey Barg's column "The Angry Grammarian" in The Philadelphia Inquirer. The production is directed by Dawn Navarro, music directed by Pat D'Amato, and produced by Pier Players Founder and Director Chelsea Cylinder.

The world premiere of this lively, entertaining, and grammatically correct musical will take place at Theatre Exile in South Philadelphia. The show runs from March 7th-March 16th. Thursday, March 7th is a preview performance. Friday, March 8th is Opening Night.

$15.00 Industry and Student rush tickets will be available at the door.
