Join Hayden Saunier, actor, award-winning author and Bucks County Poet Laureate, for an hour of poetic works and the spoken word that is funny, moving and delightfully human.  Hear award-winning poetry and memoir from Hayden and her guests, Bucks County Poet Laureate Lynn Levin, Moth contributor Alan Amtzis, writers John McDonnell, Joanne Sutera and Phillips Mill member Susan Sandor. Then get ready to ask yourself — What’s Your Story?

Phillips Mill Festival Fringe Follies

April 28 & May 6

Come one come all to the best show in town brought to you by the Phillips’ Mill Players.  They’ve prepared an explosive show of sophisticated, irreverent, somewhat prurient material in a series of short sketches, songs and dances.  Guaranteed to be absolutely pointless, the funny will bombard you from all sides.  Come and be entertained like never before.

Before the show begins, the Players will present a loving memorial tribute to fellow thespian George McAlevey consisting of a screen montage of clips of his most memorable works.
