7 days of things to do in Philadelphia from March 11-17
Small Mouth Sounds at the Philadelphia Theatre Company, G-Eazy, an unconventional dance performance, and more.
SUNDAY
Henry Kramer
The pianist plays his Astral Artists recital debut with a program that counterbalances Schumann (the Davidsbündlertänze and Arabeske) with Ravel (Pavane pour une infante défunte and Miroirs). We've heard bits and pieces of Kramer since he joined the Astral roster, but an entire recital should reveal what appears to be a big personality.
3 p.m. American Philosophical Society, 431 Chestnut St., $5 to $22, 215-735-6999, astralartists.org
MONDAY
Intentional Neighborhoods: A Gentrification Discussion
In a talk with newcomers and longtime residents, explore how gentrification is affecting Kensington, Northern Liberties, Girard, Poplar, and adjoining neighborhoods. The discussion is at the Ramona G. de Rodriguez Library, with sample bites from Federal Donuts, Mammoth Coffee, and Rustica Pizza afterward.
6 p.m. Ramona G. de Rodriguez Library, 600 W. Girard Ave., free, 215-686-1768, freelibrary.org

Bess Wohl and Rachel Chavkin bring their Off-Broadway hit to PTC for its Philadelphia premiere. Six disaffected runaways from the noise of city life go off for a retreat on a vow of silence.

Lewis Black
Comedians don't come any angrier than Black, which is probably why we high-stress, low-patience East Coasters love him so much. Indulge your inner fury when he hits the Borgata in Atlantic City.
