Summer Camp! The teachers in my daughter's school tell her, whenever she gets up to talk, or give a presentation, "well, you look like you're comfortable talking in public, and do a very good job presenting your material". That's because of Curio Summer Camp! The children learn how to write, costume, and perform a skit in 2 weeks! And no one ever drops their lines!! Unbelievable. The teaching is so good in every aspect of theatre, the kids come away with very important life skills, like talking in public, and/or in front of others. And the confidence level in social settings is noticeable also.
Thanks Curio!! Curio Theatre Company by JayBee

I went to 'The Odyssey' in their new space in the Sanctuary at
Calvary. WoW! What a production! What a space!
If 'What the Butler Saw' is half as good, it will be bloomin'
marvellous, as the Brits would say.

Last weekend I attended the Etc.... Performance series at this
location. It was fantastic. High class dance performances.
Post-modern, modern, breakin' all sorts.... MC'd by a cutie
named Charles. Here's the deal. Anyone can do anything for 20
minutes. This months was all dance but it varies depending on
who applies. It is held every 2 months. Next is May. Sign up
required. Go to their website. I highly recommend this. World Cafe Live by WorldCafeLive1

I went back to World Cafe last night and they had gotten their act together much more than the last time I was there. Service was fine, friendly and reasonably rapid. Much, MUCH better than the last time I was there. Penn Bookstore by abigaic

This is a Barnes & Noble in actuality. Huge, lots of books, etc. It's exactly like all other Barnes & Nobles. World Cafe Live by AnninPA
Mon, Oct 15th 3:53 pm
Great room. Great music. Marginal food, at best. Last time I was there (and I go a fair amount) the service was terrible-- it took a solid hour to serve our drinks. It's worth it because the music is so good and it's generally a wonderful place to listen. Clark Park Farmers' Market by AnninPA

Well worth the trip--the Asian pears at North Star Orchard are beyond fabulous, and both North Star and Fahnstock have great apples. Big Sky has great bread and granola, though it's a bit pricey. The veggies are so fresh they keep longer than you expect because you really are buying them fresh picked-- which makes you wonder how long the stuff in the supermarket has been sitting around. Great farmer's market-- the real deal. University City Arts League by Johnny

This place has a small but classy gallery. Very cool exhibit of
photos right now. All with water as the theme. Stop by and take
a look. You'll be glad you did.
Very friendly people. Great atmosphere. Check it out. Woodlands Cemetery by EllaRBS
Sun, Sep 16th 5:37 pm
The cemetery is a great place for lots of things.I just learned to
ride a bike there (I'm a late learner), my dog loves chasing my
brother all around and when we leave they've both got their
exercise, it's also a nice place to just have a walk. So I definitely
recommend it for a nice place right here in University City. Clark Park Farmers' Market by CrazyLady

Love it, LOVE IT!!
Veggies, free-range meat and eggs, flowers to die for and all
sorts of other goodies.
Saturday morning and Thursday afternoon. 40th Street Artist-in-Residence AIRSPACE by CrazyLady
Thu, Sep 13th 9:21 pm
This is a great program. Well worth seeing and supporting.
I think they are having a party to raise money for their rent this
Saturday 22nd at 7pm. Should be a fun event. University City Arts League by CrazyLady

I was shocked to see naked women in the gallery show.
Not what I expect of the UCAL I remember when I was a student.
What is happening there? Trade Winds Aquarium & Pet Center by chalex
Tue, Sep 11th 11:26 pm
The staff may not speak English, but they probably do have everything your pet needs. We get hay and litter for our pet rabbit at this store.  University City Arts League by Tallulah
Mon, Sep 10th 11:07 pm
I went to an Open House there on Saturday. really cool stuff
going on advertizing all their arts and dance classes etc. I've
never seen a semi-naked lady being painted in university city
before.......and such a cool dance improv.
Check this place out.

This is one of the greatest museums of its kind in the world. The Penn museum has been finding amazing things for a hundred years, and lots of them are on display right here. It's the real deal. Black Cat Gift Shop by AnninPA

Could they possibly fit more stuff into this tiny store? A nice offbeat collection of quirky things and the best place to get cool socks. Strikes Bowling Lounge by zphilly
Wed, Jul 18th 10:49 am
You should check out Strikes on Thursdays..they have live DJs and run drink specials all night- aside from the bowling it can be a pretty cheap night- they also serve food late night. Best way to bowl is to pay by the game- its cheaper than by the hour. University City Arts League by Johnny

Do you like unusual sounds? Bowerbird has concerts here every so often. There is one tonight 6/30/07
ENJOY! University City Arts League by Tallulah

So there is a lot going on at The Arts League, dance, music, art,
pottery etc etc.
And now they tell me they are retiring their old logo. And need
inspiration for a replacement....in other words A COMPETITION!
Check out their website for details.
It is a wonderful place which everyone should check out. University City Arts League by Tallulah

On the way out of my fitness class tonight I looked in on the
exhibit in the gallery. Very cool creations made of tiny wooden
pieces of demolished houses. Awesome. It's there for a couple
more weeks. Worth checking out even if you are not working
out! The Rotunda by cornflakegerl
Wed, Jun 20th 5:51 pm
I went to some sweet shows there years ago when R5 was not
booking the First Unitarian. More recently I've been there for The
Big Art Show.
It's nice to be at a venue that's open for the event's interpretation. |
