A.D. Amorosi on 13 Most Beautiful...Songs for Andy Warhol's Screen Tests

If you’ve seen Andy Warhol’s black-n-white Screen Tests of 1964 to 1966, the idea of sound atop the silent, stark 16mm Bolex-shot shorts is distracting. The blank stares (some hidden by sunglasses) ... more »

Holly Otterbein on Mortal Engine

I sometimes snicker at the metaphors applied to dance — “this ballet is about relationships and emptiness,” “this Flamenco is concerned with mortality.” But Mortal Engine is truly about those ... more »

Jenna Portnoy on Postcards from the Woods

Walking through the vault-like metal doors of the huge ICE BOX, the audience discovers Merian Soto and her four collaborator dancers — Jumatatu Poe, Olive Prince, Noemí Segarra. Each pose silently ... more »

K. Ross Hoffman on Rails

As our commenters have beaten me to reporting, many kudos are in order to the creators of this fiendishly satisfying noir comedy/thriller: for its inventive blending of puppetry (including a ... more »

Patrick Rapa on The Sound of Young America LIVE!

Up until this point, the syndication-worthy charm of Jesse Thorn, host of PRI's The Sound of Young America (heard locally on WHYY) was kind of lost on me. Funny — but public radio funny? Now ... more »

Holly Otterbein on small metal objects

Part of the fun of this play, I must admit, is waiting to see if something will go terribly wrong. They plop the four actors (with microphones, on no stage at all) and the audience (with headphones, ... more »

K. Ross Hoffman on Trad The Remount

Inis Nua Theater, Philly’s enthusiastic proponents of British Isles drama, strike just about the right tone — agreeably daft but still somewhat screwily sentimental — for this Irish tall tale, ... more »

September 15th, 8:00 pm

Carolyn Huckabay on The A.W.A.R.D. Show! 2009: Philadelphia

I’m finally starting to understand what the participating choreographers in The A.W.A.R.D. Show! mean when they say they’re ambivalent — and none too pleased — about the contest format of this ... more »

Shaun Brady on The Chairs by Eugene Ionesco

There aren’t many elements to contend with in Eugene Ionesco’s The Chairs beyond, well, all those chairs. For the most part it’s two characters, several doors and a couple of windows. That’s ... more »

K. Ross Hoffman on Fefu and Her Friends

It’s refreshing to see some straight theater at the Fringe, even if Maria Irene Fornes’ uncomfortably feminist 1977 comedic drama is not particularly straight play in any sense. At least one ... more »

Emaleigh on The Annihilation Point

Awesome never annihilates! ... more »

Allitia on small metal objects

This works challenges so many notions, including what's a stage and what the word disability means. Lovely and sweet, I also have never seen anything like it. ... more »

September 18th, 7:14 pm

Allitia on Welcome to Yuba City

I don't have any idea what this was about, nor do I care because it was deliriously fun, clever, and rambuctious. Like being ambushed by a troupe of insanely talented hipster clowns. ... more »

September 18th, 1:37 pm

Mark Cofta on small metal objects

I'm glad I didn't know that two actors were intellectually challenged; I assumed their introspective obtuseness and eerily inappropriate friendliness (Gary won't sell the "gear," but he'll buy ... more »

Holly Otterbein on small metal objects

Agreed. What the play did to comment on intellectually challenged people (two of the actors were challenged, and helped write the play) and their own inner demons was also something I've never ... more »

Adrienne Mackey on Purr, Pull, Reign: A Litigious Fantasy in D

And now another show added Sunday the 20th at 8pm! ... more »

Mark Cofta on small metal objects

I loved watching the passersby on 40th St., most of whom seemed oblivious to us watching in the bleachers. The headphones provide clear dialogue and constant underscoring, but we could still ... more »

Brian on The Chairs by Eugene Ionesco

The Chairs is extended thru Saturday 9/19! Tickets still available for Thursday, Friday and Saturday night. ... more »

Jenna Reily on Wake Up Philadelphia!

Wow! This production was excellent in spite of a few minor technological lags. Inspired and original!! ... more »
