Closer to home – and sooner – is the Philly Live Arts festival. It starts August 31 and will feature lots of great work including ERS’ Gatz, The Wooster Group’s Emperor Jones and work from The Riot Group, Pig Iron, Lucidity Suitcase, New Paradise Laboratories, Nature Theater of Oklahoma, Young Jean Lee, Cynthia Hopkins and more! Well worth the trip down to the city of Brotherly Love!
