Not doing the dinner with family thing Sunday afternoon?

I will be spending the hours of approximately 2pm to 7pm trying to convince my mother-in-law that, no really, the home-made raviolis are delicious, but I cannot eat another one.  If you are unencumbered by such gastronomic cage matches on Sunday, there are still a few things you can get into:

• The 2pm Sunday performance of "Chasin' Dem Blues" at the Delaware Theatre Company is two tickets for the price of one.  You have to use the code BOGO when you buy online or at the ticket office.

• The Delaware Association for Humanism will be holding a Freethinkers Brunch as a counter to Easter.  This will take place at the Washington Street Ale House from 11 to 1pm. (Okay, here are my thoughts on this: I am all for freedom of and from religion, but do we really need to "counter" the religious observances of others?  Do we do this with Passover?  Ramadan?  I'm not dismissing it entirely, but I have to say that the idea of pro-active atheism makes me just as uncomfortable as the idea of pro-active religion).

• Both the Delaware Art Museum and the Delaware Center for Contemporary Arts will be open on Sunday (the latter has free admission).  The Philadelphia Museum of Art is also holding normal hours.

• The Queen Theatre is hosting the Orchestre National de Jazz tonight.

• Theatre N is playing the Catherine Deneuve comedy, 'Potiche', at 6:30 pm.

• It looks like a nice day out, so just get outside with your dog, your honey, whoever. Pull some weeds.  Ogle some flowering trees.

• There is also, of course, the cheekily-timed Philly Zombie Crawl. 

For the rest of you, hold strong against those meatball-and-ricotta-pie-wielding mothers-in-law!  Think of the time you'll have to log in the gym all next week.  Happy Easter if that is part of your family's tradition.  And enjoy yourselves, whatever you do.
