Gild Hall

Tickets & information
 

Arden is just 17 non-nautical miles SW o' Philadelphia's airport
 

This evening will be one for the ages because of my super-special guest, who headlines everywhere and has several streaming specials but who, unless he gets a last-minute movie offer or something, has agreed to do half-an-hour in front of me because a) we are close friends, and b) he loves the intelligent (not to put pressure on you) audiences I attract: one of the top mirth-purveyors in all the land, the meteorically-soaring Myq Kaplan 

Arden is well-worth visiting: the entire village is on the National Register of Historic Places.

From the venue's website:

Arden Concert Gild brings music to 160-year-old Gild Hall in Arden, Delaware. Located less than thirty minutes south of Philadelphia, the hall is nestled in the woods of the world-renowned art colony and villages, founded under the “Single-Tax” movement in 1900 by sculptor Frank Stephens and architect Will Price. Serving as a venue for performances dating back to its 1910 remodeling, the Gild Hall stage has been graced by Lead Belly, Pete Seeger, and Burl Ives, amongst countless others.
