With its <\/span>world-class museums<\/a>, historical landmarks<\/span>, and newly opened Design District<\/a><\/span>, Philadelphia is a city that is rich in culture \u2014 and its theater scene is one of its most renowned cultural offerings. Each season in the City of Brotherly Love brings a batch of plays, musicals, and theatrical festivals that draw critics from as far away as Seattle and L.A. Here\u2019s our run-down of the best of the fall\/winter 2019 theater season.<\/span><\/p>\n

MinorityLand<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n

A number of this year\u2019s new productions explore pressing social and political issues. Among these are Power Street Theatre\u2019s <\/span>MinorityLand<\/span><\/i>, at West Kensington Ministry and Theatre Horizon, which asks questions about diversity and gentrification, and the annual political satire <\/span>This Is the Week That Is.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

September 25-October 13; see http:\/\/www.theatrephiladelphia.org\/whats-on-stage\/minorityland for more information<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

November 29-January 5<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Come From Away<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n

Nominated for eight Tony Awards and winner of Best Direction for a Musical, Come From Away has generated plenty of rave reviews. Having opened on Broadway in September, 2017, the musical is in the middle of its international tour and shouldn\u2019t be missed if you\u2019re in Philadelphia.<\/span><\/p>\n

October 22-November 3<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Hamilton<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n

You probably don\u2019t need us to tell you about <\/span>Hamilton<\/span><\/i>, the musical about Alexander Hamilton whose New York debut broke every musical-theater record. The brand-new Philly production of the show promises the same hip-hop-infused music that made the Broadway show such a hit, performed by a brand-new cast.<\/span><\/p>\n

through November 17<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Mean Girls<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n

Based on the movie of the same name, written by SNL alum Tina Fey, <\/span>Mean Girls<\/span><\/i> premiered on Broadway in April 2018 and is now touring North America. Come see what earned this production 12 Tony nominations.<\/span><\/p>\n

November 19-December 1<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

The Agitators<\/i><\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n

Abolitionist Frederick Douglass and suffragist Susan B. Anthony maintained an important friendship that has inspired many authors and historians. The new show <\/span>The Agitators<\/span><\/i> profiles this and the groundbreaking views held by the respective civil-rights leaders.<\/span><\/p>\n

February 28-March 22<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

National tours<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It wouldn\u2019t be a proper Philly theater season without visits from Broadway shows currently embarking on national tours. Aside from the ones mentioned above, don\u2019t miss <\/span>Rent <\/span><\/i>(Merriam Theater) and <\/span>Dear Evan Hansen <\/span><\/i>(Forrest Theatre).<\/span><\/p>\n
