A Celebration of Me

What topic is more interesting and more dear to your heart than yourself? None topic, that's what! So everybody should be able to enjoy the Fifth Annual First Person Festival, "the only festival of its kind dedicated to presenting multi-disciplinary works-of-art based on authentic, real-life experiences," especially since it opens tomorrow night with a gourmet gala called Edible World, which will feature food, secrets, and behind-the-kitchen-door stories from all of Philly's top chefs. There are plenty more events going on through June 11th, including talks, performances, movies, dinners, and workshops featuring various artists in various media and covering subjects ranging from tattoos to movie stuntwork to spying for the CIA. Like practically everybody else in the world, First Person Arts (the organization behind the festival) also has a blog (although it's sparsely populated right now) and a MySpace page, so you can check those for even more information.

Tickets can be purchased online at www.firstpersonarts.org or by calling 267-402-2055. Members of First Person Arts receive 50% off tickets to most Festival events.
