After a 5-star Edinburgh Fringe Festival debut and a sold out NYC extended run, writer and performer Caroline Dunn is bringing her one-woman-show PRUDENCE PLAY to Philly for only 3 shows!
Prudence Play (or Sister Prudence is Not Gay!) stars a young catholic nun having an identity (gay-as-hell) crisis. From her fever dream of tap dancing, or her hot and heavy thoughts during the Lenten fish fry, you understand…she’s having a moment. She’s waking up to feelings for a fellow sister, wrestling with her every belief, and confessing a lot (perhaps too much) to the order’s new priest. As memories from her past resurface and her dreams get more sinful, Prudence begins to question the voice in her head and is forced to confront her (horny) (gay) demons.
Prudence takes us on a beautifully human and hilarious journey into the mind of a young nun trapped by her own choices. Through humor and her surprising candor, the show explores queerness and lesbian identity, modern-day conservative catholicism, as well as the mental re-wiring it takes to free oneself of shame. As Prudence hits her breaking point, she welcomes the audience in with open arms, hilariously rambling freak-outs, and repressed memories. Just as she starts to question her reality, so will you. Plus, what would a repressed gay nun play be without a tap dancing dream sequence?
“…tender, funny, a warm embrace of queerness and imperfect self acceptance”
– Stephen Kearly, Hi! Drama (NYC Premiere 2026)
“With good humour, Caroline Dunn’s powerful, haunting script throws a spotlight on the mental conflict conservative religious teachings impose on gay people.”
★★★★★
-Counter Culture UK (World Premiere, Ed Fringe 2026)
“Dunn infuses Prudence with remarkable warmth and humanity…What begins as broad comedy deepens into something more profound. The play grows darker, more contemplative, as Prudence confronts the voices in her head.”
★★★★
The Nerd Party (World Premiere, Ed Fringe 2026)
“Iconic…funny…a tender exploration of a blossoming queer identity…an inspiring work…”
★★★★

Judy Paster and Matt Santry at The Fallser
2026-05-01 19:30 - 22:00 | The Fallser Club, 3721 Midvale Avenue, Philadelphia, PA, 19129, United States
Judy Paster
Judy Paster is a Nashville-based, Pennsylvania-grown Americana artist whose music carries the soul of her story—honest, authentic, and full of hope. She started writing songs at age 8, using music as a way to process pain, faith, and a longing for peace, knowing even then that music was healing. Her father’s battle with Alzheimer’s and a season of living on the road shaped both her heart and her voice.
Judy’s Trio debut features two Grammy-winning members of The Time Jumpers, weaving fiddle, upright bass, and acoustic guitar into a rich, rootsy sound. Her songs have been featured in film and TV (Christmas Crush, The Holiday Exchange, Music City Misletoe), and she first gained national attention when Billboard called her a “truly on the rise” artist after the release of her debut EP.
Since moving to Nashville, she’s earned airplay, carved a space in the singer-songwriter scene, and received multiple awards including the 2021 Josie Music Award for Folk/Americana Artist of the Year and a Canadian Covenant Award. Judy has written and shared stages with some of Music City’s top writers, released five albums (Judy Paster, Stronger, Rubies, Rocks & Stones, Like Stardust, Road To The Sun), and is currently part of Women Behind the Lyrics—a national tour and reality TV series. Through it all, her music remains a steady companion—for herself and for others—offering light, strength, and something real in a world that too often sells the opposite.

Matt Santry
Matt Santry writes songs rooted in relatable moments like late-night overthinking, long drives, fleeting relationships, and the perspective that comes with getting older. His songs often begin with small, specific scenes like a long red light, coffee shared in silence, or the memory of someone who slipped out of your life as quickly as they arrived. Before writing his own music, Santry worked as a social worker with children with autism. One moment changed the way he saw music forever when one of his mostly nonverbal clients sang an entire Christmas song from memory. The experience sparked his path into songwriting and a lifelong search for the kind of human connection music can create. Today he performs his original music and live shows for audiences across the country while continuing to write and release new material. His work has since led to placements on Peacock, WWE, and HBO Max, while his voice has appeared in national campaigns for NBC’s The Voice, McDonald’s Australia, Dollar Shave Club, and Febreze.

The Dan May Band at the Fallser
2026-05-02 20:00 - 22:30 | The Fallser Club, 3721 Midvale Avenue, Philadelphia, PA, 19129, United States
The Dan May Band
Dan May is one of a rare breed of singer-songwriters that has made the successful transition from
classical to popular music. After a 12-year career that saw him singing roles with opera
companies across the US and Canada, he began writing and performing his own songs in 2005,
which has resulted in seven critically-acclaimed albums, including “Dying Breed,” which made
the The Philadelphia Inquirer’s list of “Top Ten Albums of the Year.”
May’s music has appeared on radio, in television and film, as well as orchestral performances
and his warm baritone and folk-pop songs with their rootsy embellishments that “brim with
hooks and heart as well as intelligence and grace” have been embraced by live audiences from
coast to coast.
Referred to as a “consummate storyteller, May has also authored two books, including
“Adventures in Grocery Shopping,” which was named to the Philadelphia Inquirer list of “Best
Books of 2016.” Dan’s live shows now include readings from both books in addition to singing
songs off of his seven albums. The readings have become a fan favorite and a staple of his live
performances.
