A large Ferris wheel towers against a clear blue sky, with a bird flying above. The image captures the structure's metallic framework and passenger compartments, emphasizing its height and design. Stairs are visible in the foreground.

You don’t have many more chances to see Horsegirl & Cowdaddy, but that’s ok. The play has problems. The trans representation on stage is welcome, of course! But one character is two-dimensional. And the plot’s dab of magical realism is jarring. A near miss. Lindsay Smiling was a superb Cowdaddy.

I love this piece—but can never quite figure out how to photograph it.
One corner of the piece is in the foreground. Varying shades of gray and rust are highlighted.The image features several of the large steel cubes arranged in the spacious gallery setting. You can see more corners of the piece, but, overall, it’s a less colorful photo.

“In 2026, pepper pot as we once knew it has become nearly extinct. Campbell’s stopped producing it in 2010, coinciding with a dwindling appetite for tripe.”

What’s in a pepper pot? Black chefs gather to celebrate, revive, and update Philadelphia’s signature soup.
In a year full of historical reflections for America's 250th anniversary, the time is ripe to consider an iconic Philadelphia soup that has nearly disappeared — and attempt to revive it.

How does it feel to look at nothing - This #phillyfringe2026 piece is an opera of sorts, but it rarely felt like one. More New-Age-turned-heavy-metal-turned-back-to-New-Age fever dream, I’d say. Interesting music, dance, projection. Bonus: Deep inside is a queer love story. I left feeling all Zen.

SUMMER, 1976: Lantern Theater’s production of David Auburn’s Summer, 1976—about a short-but-intense friendship between two women—is downright charming. And the performers, especially McKenna Kerrigan as the uptight Diana, are particularly effective. Recommended! The show runs through October 11.
