Wine in the Wilderness
By Alice Childress
Directed by Az Espinoza
Location: Poth Brewery, 3145 W. Jefferson St.
Thursday, September 22 to Sunday, October 9, 2022
Opening Night for Press, Saturday, September 24, 8:00pm
https://www.philartistscollective.org/wine.html

PAC is delighted to be returning once more with an in-person offering for the 2022 Philadelphia Fringe Festival! Wine in the Wilderness is a powerful examination of race, gender, and class set against the 1964 race riots in Harlem. The plot unfolds in the apartment of a painter, creating a triptych to illustrate the phases of Black Womanhood. When his friends introduce him to a potential model for the final painting, assumptions unravel, and the true power of Black women is both acknowledged and celebrated. Under AlexandraEspinoza's direction, the production will feature Akeem Davis, Ciera Gardner, Keith Livingston, Natajia Sconiers, and Brian Anthony Wilson.Director Espinoza has a rich connection to the piece: "Wine in the Wilderness was the first "classic" play I read that spoke directly to the Black community with no translations, code switches, or cultural exposition for a non-Black audience. That felt refreshing, liberating, and exciting. It's important for audiences to know that the conversations we are having today about how to build a better future for our communities have been happening for generations."

Espinoza hopes the production demonstrates "that there are as many ways to be a Black person in search of liberation as there are Black people on this planet. We are stronger in our multiplicities and the first step in building community is the simplest and yet most complex of all - listening to each other."

42) Uptown! Knauer Performing Arts Center
The Butterfingers Angel, Mary & Joseph, Herod The Nut & The Slaughter Of 12 Hit Carols In A Pear Tree
By William Gibson
Directed by Dominic Scudera
Location: UKPAC, 226 N. High Street, West Chester, PA 19380
Wednesday, November 30 to Friday, December 23, 2022
Opening Night, Saturday, December 3, 2022, 7:00pm

Curtains up in Chester County and the Philadelphia suburbs. Uptown! Knauer Performing Arts Center is thrilled to announce the line-up for its first ever self-produced theatre season, and the company's first under the leadership of new Artistic Director Carmen Khan. This historic first season of professional theatre in downtown West Chester begins with William Gibson's joyful play, The Butterfingers Angel, Mary & Joseph, Herod The Nut, & The Slaughter Of 12 Hit Carols In A Pear Tree, opening just in time for the holidays and running November 30 to December 23, 2022. Created by William Gibson (The Miracle Worker), one of America's major dramatists, this touching, funny and highly imaginative retelling of the Nativity story is presented from a fresh and richly creative point-of-view. The action follows a free-spirited Mary who had decided that men and marriage were not for her, a suddenly cautious Joseph who contends that he is too old for his intended, and a flustered boy-angel who directs each scene from a prompt book and can only manage to get the most strangled, bleating sounds from his trumpet. Enhanced by a talking tree, sheep and a donkey, along with traditional Christmas music, this wholly original theatre piece is both secular and sacred - often antic, but the spirit of reverence, joy, and the true significance of the occasion are never lost. "...a gift of love and hope to the world," said the Syracuse Herald. "Angelic...beguiling wit and humor...as likable as it is lively..." said Boston Herald-American.

Ran'D Shine
Saturday, September 10
6:30pm, 7:30pm, 8:30pm, 9:30pm
Appropriate for ages 13+

I.D.: Intimate Deception is an uncanny demonstration of sleight of hand, and psychological illusions performed in a close up setting. This 30 minute personal, blackbox show is not just about tricks, it's about how magic can be used as metaphors for time, the significance of numbers, and connecting with strangers in surprising ways.

46) Funicular Circus
Sunday, September 11 at 3:00pm

The Funicular Circus (from the Latin funis, for rope, as in funicular railroad) is a contemporary circus effort founded & directed by Dave Gillies based in Mt Airy on the spacious wooded grounds of Circus Campus. We combine traditional materials and techniques of wire walking with elements of sculpture and design. These are blended together with circus skills while implementing singing, music, poetry & yoga in our approach to walking the wire.

We're taking the circus out of the arena, out of the tent, & into the landscape. We explore connections to trees, rivers, sky, & tides. We draw attention to the space between - light, wind, & to how we are not only part of the landscape but supported by it. We highlight that we are all literally supported by our trees and rivers & believe that we need to be good stewards.

The installations make use of traditional tightwire methods combined with things we have learned from arborists, rock climbers, recreational tree climbers, a network of riggers, & other long wire walkers from Philadelphia, Brussels, The Netherlands, & Norway. Inspiration comes from colleagues, Dave's liberal arts studies, the pulley systems of Leonardo da Vinci, tensegrity concepts of Buckminster Fuller, the precise and exact positioning of words of Emily Dickinson's poems, the ephemeral creations of Andy Goldsworthy, the playfulness of Juan Miro, & the attention to joy we saw in the installations of Christo.

We have created installations in the Philadelphia area over the Wissihickon, the Schuylkill, a tidal portion of the lower Delaware, the Susquehanna and the Brandywine Rivers. We have walked over canals in Brussels. We rigged and walked wires in the Dolomite mountains in Italy. We rigged in relation to the tides on the rocky south coast of the Dominican Republic , Grand Canaria, and on the Wild Atlantic Way on the west coast of Ireland.

We will also bring to life a Candy Land-like landscape as we assemble our curious original set designs on stage during the show (BUT YOU CAN'T EAT THE ARCHITECTURE!). Much akin to Legos, we build whatever prop or play thing we think we want or need in the moment while taking care of and entertaining our audience (YAY! *CLAPS*).

Andrew here: Like many people, I have a lot of projects that have always been on the back burner. Drones, shadow puppets, gags, audience participation ideas, all kinds of things. There's nothing like an offer to be a part of PSCA's Fringe Hub to give me a deadline to get them done. Most of these ideas just wouldn't work without Cubby and the ones that don't involve Cubby, well, I'm exited to see what Cubby has to say about them. Oh and by the way, I'm getting a small surgery on August 22nd so don't expect me to like move around too much or very quickly. This is good, right? Art coming from constraints or something? That's totally a thing. I read it in a blog post once. (And by read, I mean skimmed.)
