We know that navigating the Live Arts Festival and Philly Fringe is sometimes a challenge, especially for newbies, or when trying to convince your friends who, somehow, don't think that theater, dance, or the what-have-yous of the Fringe are for them. [More]
Our buddy Brett Mapp is a long-time supporter of the Live Arts Festival and Philly Fringe. He's both an arts gadabout and deeply involved in the scene, serving on a variety of boards and helping shepherd grants and donations to deserving arts groups. During Festival time, he goes to even more shows than me, and for me it's work! (Enjoyable work, though). [More]
It should come as no surprise, but Charles Gilbert, the director of the Ira Brind School of Theater Arts at Philadelphia's University of the Arts, reminds me through his Brind School tumblr quite how many UArts folks are involved in the Festivals this year. Brian Sanders, a professor at UArts, is a big name who's offering Sanctuary, and whose shows often feature UArts students and recent grads. [More]

Romeo and Juliet
Romeo and Juliet
Nature Theater of Oklahoma

FREEDOM CLUB
FREEDOM CLUB
New Paradise Laboratories & The Riot Group
Funny, lyrical, and provocative - and spanning a century and a half-this theatrical collaboration examines separatist cults from the assassination of Abraham Lincoln to a dissolving band of washed up wannabe extremists in 2012. [More]
