How To Be Irish in Philly This Week

WaWa’s CEO Christopher Gheysens will speak to the Irish American Business Chamber this week.


Some of us have the flu so this will be a quick one.

Here’s what’s happening this week:

Enjoy a “Fiddler’s Feast” at Sellersville on Sunday with Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Haas, Jay Ungar and Molly Mason, and Dirk Powell.

Many Irish folks got their start in business in the US at Wawa. Meet its CEO Christopher Gheysens at the Pyramid Club in Philadelphia on Wednesday. This is a program sponsored by the Irish American Business Chamber and Network. (Mark your calendars for March 1 and the Ambassador Awards—great networking opportunity, even if you’re not Irish.)

Also on Wednesday, support the Burlington County St. Patrick’s Day Parade at a fundraiser at the High Street Grill and hear live Irish music with Bob Hurst of the Bogside Rogues and Paul Weise of Birmingham Six.

Martin McDonagh’s play, The Beauty Queen of Leenane, continues this week at Lantern Theater; on Friday, meet the director and get a first-hand look at the design and rehearsal process.
