Dr. Maureen Murphy’s book, Compassionate Stranger: at Villanova on Monday
Thanks to March’s terrible weather, the month is not only going out like a lamb, it’s going out with a parade. Two of them, in fact. The Mount Holly, NJ, St. Patrick’s Day Parade, usually the first of the season, will be the last, on Sunday, starting at noon. The Conshohocken parade will precede it on Saturday, starting at 2 PM.
Also on Saturday afternoon, the Theresa Flanagan Band will be playing a fundraiser for St. Lucy School, which is for children with visual impairments, at the gym of Holy Innocents Parish in Philadelphia.
The Plough and the Stars in Philadelphia is holding an organic vegan workshop at 6 PM. Restaurant professionals get a discount.
Lafferty’s Wake, an interactive comedy, continues its run at Society Hill Playhouse all weekend.
If you happen to be in Yonkers on Saturday night, catch local favorite Raymond Coleman at Moriarity’s. He’ll be at Behan’s Pub in the Bronx on Monday night.
On Monday afternoon, Dr. Maureen O’Rourke Murphy, author of Compassionate Stranger, will talk about Quaker Asenath Nicholson, the subject of her book, and his involvement in An Gorta Mor, the years of the Irish starvation, at Villanova University.
On Thursday, the Elders come to the Sellersville Theater with their mad combo of Irish jigs and American roots and rock.
Then on Friday, catch the local Paul Moore Band at First Friday at Brittingham’s in Lafayette Hill.
