I'm guessing this will be hilarious. And no, I wouldn't miss it for anything!

Get prepared to help actors from the Hedgerow Theatre storm the Bastille in Media! Hedgerow will rally the crowds to the Armory building, where the Bastille will be stormed.

Then the activity moves down the street to the Olive Street Stage at State and Olive Streets, where the Marquis de Lafayette will give the key to the Bastille to General Washington.

Then Hedgerow will continue its performance with two songs and brief scenes from their original 1995 musical, The Scarlet Pimpernel written by Margaret Royal with music by Philadelphia composer E.A. Alexander. The show was set during the French Revolution. The songs are ''No Mercy'' and ''Liberty, Fraternity & Equality''.

This is all part of Media's Second Saturday Independence Celebration. France's Independence Day (July 14) falls on Second Saturday this year. Media will celebrate the anniversaries of French and American Independence, and the historical links between those two countries. There will be events for the whole family!

This is presented by the Media Arts Council and the Media Business Authority. The Independence Celebration sponsor is La Belle Epoque Cafe.
