Wussy

FEATURES!

CP dance critic Deni Kasrel helps Philadanco celebrate its 40th anniversary season. Even after all these years, the company's mission statement remains the same: to bring Philadelphians "joyous dance," plain and simple.
Michael Pelusi profiles Wussy, an Ohio band that blends "guitar-jangle, noise-pop, weird Americana and bar-band brawl." They'll play The Fire tonight at 9.

COLUMNS!

Full Exposure delves into the Academy of Natural Sciences' spring exhibit, "Looking at Animals." Henry Horenstein's work, says columnist John Vettese, is an apt juxtaposition with the academy's accompanying specimens.
Peter Burwasser gives FrÃ©dÃ©ric Chopin a shout for this month's Suite Spot. Apparently the pianist wasn't a fan Schumann or Liszt or even Beethoven.
Drew Lazor takes a break from food coverage to rave on Kick-Ass, about a nerdy kid — a "misguided moron," as Drew calls him — who decides to become a superhero despite his lack of superheroic abilities.

REVIEWS!

David Anthony Fox is thrilled with Theatre Exile's Shining City, which focuses on the psychotherapy sessions between equally troubled patient and therapist.
Sam Adams' Flick Pick focuses on The Exploding Girl, starring Elia Kazan's granddaughter, Zoe, whose performance "seems utterly flawless."
Mark Cofta says Lantern Theater Co.'s production of Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part I "never falters," though he's skeptical about Peter Pryor's fat suit.
Janet Anderson reviews Jeanne Ruddy Dance Co.'s 10-year-anniversary "Decade of Dance" retrospective at the Wilma.
Movie Shorts on The Joneses and The Warlords

AND THEN THERE'S ...

Kaleidoscope quick hits on Joe Boruchow, You're a Horrible Person, But I Like You, Record Store Day and Mates of State
Music Picks on The Feelies, Fol Chen, Titus Andronicus and more
Arts Picks on BalletX, Rooms: A Rock Romance, Sick and more
In the Agenda, watch for a graffiti celebration, Icepack, plenty of Picks and Josh Middleton's LGBTQ column, Queer Bait.
