If you’ve ever watched a child pack up and leave home and thought, “Now what?” — People’s Light has a show for you.
Chester County’s destination for award-winning theatre and live arts presents Two Outta Three, a special limited-engagement comedy cabaret created and performed by acclaimed Philadelphia theatre artists — and real-life married couple — Jennifer Childs and Scott Greer. It’s their first time performing together at People’s Light, and it’s not one to miss.
The production runs for 17 performances, June 5-21, on the Steinbright Stage in Malvern. Tickets start at $45 and are available now online here, or by phone at 610.644.3500. Subscribers save 15 percent.
When the Nest Empties, the Fun Begins
Two Outta Three takes a sharp, funny, and deeply relatable look at what happens when life shifts and the nest empties. Blending comedy, music, and storytelling, the show follows a couple rediscovering themselves, and each other, after their only child leaves home. It’s about the chaos, the quiet, and the unexpected joy hiding in both.
“Two Outta Three is about that moment when life changes in ways you didn’t quite plan for — but also the unexpected joy that comes with it,” said Childs, Performer and Co-Creator of the production. “We wanted to create something that lets audiences laugh at the chaos while recognizing themselves in it.”
Childs and Greer bring an authentic, lived-in chemistry to the stage, infusing the show with warmth, wit, and musical flair. Chester County audiences will recognize Childs’ sharp wordplay from her two beloved People’s Light pantos, Alice in Wonderland and Peter Panto. Greer was last seen at People’s Light in Stella and Lou in 2014, making this a long-overdue reunion.
“For us, this show is about rediscovery — of partnership, identity, and humor in the everyday,” said Greer, Co-Creator and Performer. “It’s personal, but it’s also universal.”
Producing Artistic Director Zak Berkman put it simply: “Childs and Greer are the Nichols and May of Philadelphia — two of our region’s most treasured theatre-makers. It’s thrilling to present their wickedly funny and beautifully earnest Two Outta Three during this graduation season. As someone on the precipice of becoming an empty-nester myself, this show speaks vividly to me, and I suspect it will delight parents of every age and nest-size.”
Presented as part of People’s Light’s 2025-2026 Special Presentations series, Two Outta Three reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to amplifying the work of Philadelphia-based companies, building on earlier season collaborations including Theatre Exile’s Tommy and Me.
