Art:
Pig Latin
Local theater companies bridge the cultural divide, one Fiesta at a time.
by A.D. Amorosi
While local liberal-minded companies comfortably gravitate toward topics of gender and sexual identity, race is often left out of the equation.

Culture Shock:
Things That Matter To People Who Matter

Art:
Very Long Engagement
With some big backing, a local group is looking to give the city a shot of culture.
by Natalie Hope McDonald
"We're imagining what Philadelphia could look like if we did everything right. It's a license to be able to think big."

Re-View:
Glass Half-Full
Robin Rice on Visual Art
by Robin Rice
Vanitas art was supposed to make people think. The fact that the links between the artists in the show are more intuitive than explicit is unexpectedly effective.

Theater Review:
Up to Scratch
Theatre Exile's Bug is a creepy-crawly must-see.
by Mark Cofta
The brilliance of director Matt Pfeiffer's superb production is that we care so much about these characters, even as their horror builds.

To Inch His Own
Hedwig rocks Philly so hard.
by David Anthony Fox
Dito van Reigersberg is everything you could hope for. He looks just right — like Ingrid Thulin on a very bad day — and he can really sing the difficult score, a compendium of pop idioms.

Arts Picks:
Moving Research: slip
Through May 18, $15, Studio 34, 4522 Baltimore Ave., myspace.com/movingresearch, danceboxoffice.com.
by Shaun Brady

by Janet Anderson
Hinton Battle, known as much as a performer as a dance-maker (he was in Dreamgirls) is choreographing a piece called Commitments.

Iolanta
Fri., May 9, 8 p.m.; Sun., May 11, 2:30 p.m.; $33, Curtis Opera Theater at Prince Music Theater, 1412 Chestnut St., 215-569-9700, curtis.edu.
by David Shengold
Iolanta's simple message (belief in love conquers all impediments) needs nothing elaborate to be a moving musical experience.
