What's new and/or interesting in Philly theaters this weekend.

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you.

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you.

This week’s quote comes from the great Ben Kingsley. It’s actually advice to film actors, but Kingsley has acted on the stage before (and how!), and we’re sure he’d give the same advice to stage actors. The advice goes: “You can throw away the privilege of acting, but that would be such a shame. The tribe has elected you to tell its story. You are the shaman/healer, that's what the storyteller is, and I think it's important for actors to appreciate that. Too often actors think it's all about them, when in reality it's all about the audience being able to recognize themselves in you. The more you pull away from the public, the less power you have on screen.” Now, on with the listings! (And don’t be dismayed – just because it’s a quiet week doesn’t mean there’s not some great theatre to catch!)
