A photo series documenting Philadelphians who practice yoga, The Image of Yoga was created over several community sessions with movement photographer JJ Tiziou, now arranged as…

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) (Revised) (Again)
The Complete Works of William Shakespeare is a big book of a lot of big plays written (allegedly) by some dead bisexual British bloke. Why would you read 37 (or 38?) plays when three living actors (maybe bisexual) can capture the laughter, tears, and romance in a single performance? *This performance will be OUTSIDE at the Elfreth’s Alley Museum. It’s totally just like the Globe Theatre except in the…
