One of Philadelphia's most popular summertime events! The Bearded Ladies, an experimental cabaret troupe, teams up with Eastern State to present the entire French Revolution in a two-hour spectacle of song, dance, and beheading.

This free theatrical performance begins at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 14 and culminates in a playful reenactment of the storming of the Bastille at 6:30 p.m. Following the beheading, local Fairmount restaurants come alive with French-themed entertainment as well as food and drink specials.
