Michael Ogborn's delightful musical The Three Maries is set in 1926 Philly during a goodwill visit by Queen Marie of Romania. When the second Marie, the secretary of the city bigwig in charge of the welcoming ball, gets an invite, it could stop the kvetching of her momma, Marie No. 3. That is, if the Kensington lass can lose her Fluffyan accent. Add in a Mummer-esque score and you've got a winner. The show goes on 7:30 p.m. at the Prince Theater, 1412 Chestnut St., and continues on a varied schedule to Jan. 10. Tickets are $27 to $52. Call 215-422-4580.
Wednesday
In what may be his masterpiece, Edward Scissorhands, director Tim Burton used the tropes of old Universal horror films to explore the nature of identity, isolation, and loneliness in the tale of an artificial boy left unfinished when his creator dies. When he is discovered by the suburban neighborhood outside, it reveals the ignorance and intolerance underneath the perfect facade. The film screens at 7:30 p.m. at the PFS Roxy Theater, 2023 Sansom St. Tickets are $10; $9 seniors and students. Call 267-639-9508.
