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

Justin Solonynka has been performing his virtuosic piano blend of "Jazzical Fusion Pop 'n' Roll" for audiences throughout the greater Philadelphia area for the last ten years. He'll be performing at the World Cafe Live, Friday, April 13, 2007, at 7:30PM. Now this isn't just any performance, this is specifically for The Key of Hope benefit.

The Philly Auto Show is in town this weekend! We're reasonably certain none of the cars there will be able to transform into giant robots, but it will still be pretty cool. If you're interested in previewing the show, and you've got some extra cash lying around, festivities can start for you tonight at the Black Tie Tailgate Preview Gala. There'll be food, drink, and entertainment, and best of all, all proceeds will go to the Auto Dealers CARing for Kids Foundation and The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

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

We probably don’t need to explain that quote, but if we do, just know it’s from our first play in the listings. And hey, Philly theatre is back in full swing, now that PLAF is winding down. Now, on with the listings!

The idea of a stage is always tempting for Phillyist, so imagine how tempting it must have been for a master of the absurd like Eugene Ionesco, who once said: “I personally would like to bring a tortoise onto the stage, turn it into a racehorse, then into a hat, a song, a dragoon and a fountain of water. One can dare anything in the theatre and it is the place where one dares the least.” 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!)

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!)

I think we all know what that lyric comes from. 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!)

This week’s quote comes from Tallulah Bankhead, the famous actress from days of yore. The entire quote actually reads: “It's one of the tragic ironies of the theatre that only one man in it can count on steady work - the night watchman.” Now, on with the listings!
