The Kammerspiel announces the world premiere of a bold new adaptation of Molière’s “Tartuffe”, reimagined by Bob Sloan and directed by Josh McIlvain. This three-week engagement opens Friday, Feb. 20, 2026, at the Performance Garage, with performances Friday through Sunday through March 8.

Often regarded as Molière’s greatest play, “Tartuffe” skewers hypocrisy, piety-as-performance, and the dangers of blind devotion. Riffing on the original vitality of Molière’s rhymed couplets, Bob Sloan’s adaptation positions Tartuffe squarely in two worlds at once by honoring the play’s classical roots while speaking with unmistakable contemporary candor.
The play follows Orgon, the epitome of bourgeois respectability, who falls under the spell of the ultra-pious charlatan Tartuffe. Only after Tartuffe threatens Orgon’s fortune, his family’s safety, and even their chastity does Orgon begin to recognize the peril of surrendering his judgment to a cultish, self-serving zealot.
This production embraces tableau, rhythm, and slapstick comedy, inviting audiences to experience the satire not just intellectually, but viscerally.
Nine performances only in a limited engagement.
Venue: Performance Garage, 1515 Brandywine Street, Philadelphia, PA 19130
Tickets are $25 general admission, $15 student and industry at performancegarage.org/

In Sinneapolis, crime is of the essence. After earning his Ph.D. in Mad Science, Dr. Bad is ready to take over the city with his right hand, Penis-In-a-Can, and a whole posse of dismembered body parts. There’s only one thing left to do … be in a power couple. Dr. Bad is smitten with the KitKat Bar and Cabaret’s star, Lady Godiva. He sends klutzy henchman Schmutz to plant a love serum in Godiva’s perfume, so one puff would render her instantly smitten. But Schmutz is terribly, horribly in love with his boss! Classic. When the mission goes awry, Schmutz must decide: to what lengths will he go for Dr. Bad’s affection? Can I call this court to disorder? And how many evil lairs are there in this story?

“Good Bones”. Photo by Ashley Smith, Wide Eyed Studios
Good Bones follows Aisha as she returns to her childhood neighborhood with her husband to help developers “revitalize” the place she grew up. As they renovate their new home, her homecoming proves more complicated than expected. When their contractor learns that Aisha is involved in bringing a controversial sports arena to the community, tensions ignite around who gets to stay and who must go when cities change.
Featuring an all-Philadelphia cast and design team, Good Bones uses sharp humor and emotional depth to explore the tension between progress and preservation, asking who cities are built for and what gets lost in the name of change.
Set in a kitchen-mid-renovation, the play centers the notion of home and poses the incredibly personal conundrum we’ve all had to face: what to do with your roots? Explored through four wildly different characters, Good Bones operates on the edge of whether it’s right to hold tightly to roots – no matter how strained – or to sever the ties that bind in pursuit of a broader perspective. – Akeem Davis, Director of Good Bones
The cast features Newton Buchanan (Travis), Taysha Marie Canales (Aisha), Walter DeShields (Earl) and Kishia Nixon (Carmen).
