\u201dFaust,\u201d 1926<\/p>\n
\u201cFaust,\u201d 1926, F.W. Murnau, director, accompanied by Ian Fraser on organ. Murnau\u2019s take on Germany\u2019s national legend elegantly simplifies its telling as a battle between shadow and light (also the basic elements of film). Mephistopheles (Emil Jannings) bets an Archangel (Werner Fuetterer) that he can corrupt a righteous man. When the devil approaches a disillusioned elder, Faust (Gosta Ekman), the alchemist is desperate to save his village from the plague. Thanks to Mephisto, Faust does. As a reward, Mephisto returns Faust to his virile youth. The alchemist fails to recognize this as a bait-and-switch and becomes incrementally corrupted. Can his soul be saved?<\/p>\n
When: Monday, Oct. 27 at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n
Where: Wanamaker Building, 100 E. Penn Sq.<\/p>\n
\u201dThe Phantom Carriage,\u201d 1922<\/p>\n
The Phantom Carriage, 1922, Victor Sjostrom, director, accompanied by Don Kinnear on organ. Sjostrom, who both directed and stars in the ghostly adaptation of the Swedish folk tale by Selma Lagerlof (the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in literature) is an alcoholic who dies at midnight on New Years Eve. According to the legend, that means that in the new year, his retribution is to serve as the doomed coachman who rounds up the dead, a task that gives him ample time for reflection and, perhaps, atonement. The film employing flashbacks within flashbacks and sophisticated double-exposures for its special effects inspired Ingmar Bergman, who paid tribute to it in The Seventh Seal and Wild Strawberries.<\/p>\n

\u201dNosferatu,\u201d 1922<\/p>\n
Nosferatu, 1922, F.W. Murnau, director, accompanied by Peter Richard Conte on organ. Most of the filmmakers involved in this unauthorized version of Bram Stoker\u2019s Dracula were World War I veterans, including producer and art director Albin Grau, who observed that the war was \u201cunleashed…like a cosmic vampire to drink the blood of millions and millions of men.\u201d But viewers might recognize other metaphors in the film, one of the first vampire movies. Stoker\u2019s original story suggested that vampirism is communicable, like syphilis and tuberculosis. Frightening as these diseases is Max Shreck as Count Orlok, the bloodsucker whose sharp fangs, menacing talons and creepy rodent gait make him akin to a Swiss Army Knife of horror. He can attack, dismember, or devour with various parts of his grotesque form.<\/p>\n

\u201dThe Cabinet of Dr. Caligari,\u201d 1920<\/p>\n
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, 1920, Robert Wiene, director, accompanied by Peter Richard Conte on organ. The title character (Werner Krauss) is a hypnotist, his sidekick, Cesare (Conrad Veidt), a sleepwalker. Their appearance at a rural carnival coincides with a string of murders. Considered the evil grandpa of horror movies, Caligari was conceived as an artistic response to the horrors of World War I. Inspired by German Expressionism, Wiene and his collaborators set the characters in a fearful mindscape where everything natural is threatening, everything man-made is unstable, and looming shadows suggest hostile forces. Like many silent horror films, the movie\u2019s visuals were an influence on film noir.<\/p>\n
When: Thursday, Oct. 30 at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n
Where: Wanamaker Building, 100 E. Penn Sq.<\/p>\n

Choreomania at M\u00fctter Museum<\/p>\n
The M\u00fctter Museum of The College of Physicians of Philadelphia invites you to channel the uncontrollable urge to dance during Choreomania, an immersive theme party inspired by a bizarre medieval medical phenomenon. Choreomania is more than a dance party. It is inspired by the historical phenomenon of \u201cdancing mania\u201d that periodically struck medieval European towns. Choreomania at the M\u00fctter will invite attendees to delve deep into this strange, energetic, and collective experience. Time-traveling into the 16th century, guests will be treated to an immersive, sensory light installation created by the artist collective Glimmer Labs after-hours Museum access, light bites, specialty cocktails for purchase, and, of course, dancing, featuring music from a live DJ. The evening will feature several surprises, including actors in costume and pop-up activations that immerse visitors in multiple aspects of the medieval period, from the medical to the spiritual and the social. Guests are encouraged to embrace the theme with choreomania-themed costumes. Think peasant-core, the medieval period\u2019s visual culture, and demonology.<\/p>\n

\u201dJOB\u201d<\/p>\n
Theatre Exile opens its 2025\/26 season with the Philadelphia premiere of Max Wolf Friedlich\u2019s \u201cJOB,\u201d a gripping two-hander directed by Producing Artistic Director Deborah Block. This psychological thriller explores the collision between therapy, technology, and morality as a therapist and patient face an intense battle of intellect and emotion. The play explores how people protect themselves and their communities in a world shaped by pressure, exposure, and digital connection. Set entirely within a therapist\u2019s office, \u201cJOB\u201d shows how quickly trust can unravel and how thin the line can be between helping and controlling, asking what it means to stay human when personal and professional worlds collide.<\/p>\n

Where: Theatre Exile, 1340 S. 13th St.<\/p>\n
\u201dThe Mountaintop\u201d<\/p>\n
Philadelphia-based Arden Theatre Company is proud to announce its second production of the 2025\/26 season with \u201cThe Mountaintop,\u201d written by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Katori Hall, and directed by Barrymore Award-winning director Brett Ashley Robinson. The 90-minute reimagining of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.\u2019s final night invites audiences into a deeply intimate and human portrait of one of the most iconic leaders of the 20th century. Set on April 3, 1968, \u201cThe Mountaintop\u201d opens with Dr. King, played by Akeem Davis, returning to his room at the Lorraine Motel after delivering his historic \u201cI\u2019ve Been to the Mountaintop\u201d speech. What begins as a quiet evening takes a turn when he encounters Camae, a mysterious maid played by Kishia Nixon. Over the course of the night, their conversations reveal the man beneath the iconic figure: the humor, doubts, and humanity of someone wrestling with the weight of his calling and the legacy he will leave behind.<\/p>\n

Where: Arden Theatre Company, 40 N. 2nd St.<\/p>\n
\u201dHaxan,\u201d 1922<\/p>\n
\u201cHaxan,\u201d 1922, Benjamin Christensen, director, accompanied by Don Kinnear on organ. Pronounce it \u201cHex-on,\u201d this Swedish\/Danish co-production that announced itself as a history of witchcraft, implying that many strange acts of medieval sorceresses were comparable to what Freud might have diagnosed as female hysteria. Christensen cast himself as Satan in this hybrid documentary\/occult fantasy that the show-business journal Variety declared \u201cunfit for public exhibition\u201d \u0336while also lauding its innovative camerawork and special effects. Imagine walking into a large-scale Hieronymous Bosch painting, both grotesque and fantastic, that boasted hand-tinted sequences and sympathy for the devil.<\/p>\n

Two cash-strapped community care workers, Francis and Loretta are on their way to another routine visit to their patient, Davey McGee, a lonely man dedicated to his newspaper, horse races, and memories of Frank Sinatra. The day takes an unexpected turn for poor Davey, as Jones spins a sharply funny tale exploring what happens when ordinary people are tempted with extraordinary (if not slightly outrageous) opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u201dRelics\u201d by Wendy Chidester<\/p>\n
This extraordinary body of work explores the beauty and reverence of once-iconic machines \u2014 antique typewriters, movie and slide projectors, vintage cameras, chord phones, gumball machines. Now, all relics of the past, replaced and often forgotten, these machines were once a part of daily life, symbols of progress and innovation that today exist mostly in attics, museums, and memory. In the age of smartphones and computers, AI and wireless technology, the featured imagery of the exhibition \u2018RELICS\u2019 draws nostalgically on a bygone era when life felt slower and less complicated. The historic symbolism of this exhibition is profoundly enhanced by the exquisite technical rendering of each machine by artist Wendy Chidester. Using oil on canvas in a contemporary realist style, the paintings have a velvet-like quality, a smoothness that further elevates each object with a quiet dignity as if an isolated royal relic or respected cultural icon.<\/p>\n
When: through Friday, Nov. 7<\/p>\n
Where: Morton Contemporary Gallery, 115 S. 13th St.<\/p>\n

\u201dTo Provide a Naval Armament: U.S. Navy & Marine Corps History, 1775 \u2013 1958\u201d<\/p>\n
Philadelphia gave birth to the U.S. Navy twice \u2014 first in 1775 and again in 1794. The later Navy reflected the young nation: ships designed by Quakers, built in shipyards along the East Coast with wood harvested by enslaved people, led by white officers, and crewed by a diverse mix of nationalities, ethnicities, and religions. The Marines of both eras laid the foundation for one of the world\u2019s elite fighting forces. While prominent Philadelphians appear in naval history, the story also lives in the letters and journals of sailors, surgeons, and shipyard workers. In partnership with Homecoming 250, \u201cTo Provide a Naval Armament:\u201d U.S. Navy & Marine Corps History, 1775\u20131958 explores the Navy and Marine Corps through the Historical Society of Pennsylvania\u2019s collections, tracing their evolution from the American Revolution to the early Cold War, all while remaining anchored in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n
