Constitution Center Invites Artists to Revisit WPA
Yo, Philly in the News
Now What?
This week's quote comes from actor Harvey Keitel, who said of performing: “I've always found it not only easy, but enjoyable. It's necessary for us to reach out and I'm speaking for myself here. I certainly have a sense of responsibility to reach out to these people in the theatre who might look to someone like me for some guidance.” Now, on with the listings!
