PIFA's back; arts orgs start drooling

Finally that leftover PIFA cube outside the Kimmel Center will stop seeming so random:

Join us March 28 – April 27, 2013 as PIFA, a Kimmel Center production, returns to Philadelphia asking, “If you had a time machine…”

...A theme nearly as vague and all-encompassing as "Paris!" in 2011. PIFA burned through their $10 million Annenberg grant the last time around; when we talked with the directors at the time, they said their plan was to spend big on ferris wheels, aerialists, Sharon Jones and funding just about everyone in town who could remotely hook whatever they were doing to "Paris" in hopes of attracting new funding for the next one — a business plan that had us wondering if the huge festival would end up being a one-off. But it does look like they've made it work, somehow. Good for them!
