Last week, with the hard work of Anne at Mindlabs, the Theatre Alliance’s Philadelphia New Play Festival site went live, introducing the first multi-theatre festival of its kind in the country. We designed the logo, website, and promo materials for the Theatre Alliance to help launch this great project.

Philly’s got a thriving and innovative theatre community, so if you’ve got the time in early February, you should check out the work being produced as part of the festival. Perhaps the best part is the festival pass, which gets you discounts on tickets, food, and parking, so you can end up ahead in the end by buying one for a night out at the theatre.

Doing a bit of website attic clean-up here, so this will be brief: Alisa and I saw The Threepenny Opera at Studio 54 back in June. It starred Alan Cumming, Nellie McKay, and Jim Dale, and featured Cyndi Lauper. It was a hell of a show. It had teeth, humor, and a strong message delivered through gritted teeth.
