The last few weeks the New Yorker has been particularly rich with visual arts coverage, with an essay on Jan. 4 by Adam Gopnik about Van Gogh’s severed ear and now, in the upcoming Jan 11 issue, Louis Menand’s essay about Andy Warhol. Both essays make great reading each in its own way, with Gopnik fascination with van Gogh’s need for solitude but love of community; and Menand’s dissection of Warhol’s illusionism.

by Debra Miller I’m posting a quick holiday reminder about some of the terrific plays in Philadelphia this month. As you probably already know, with the present state of our economy, many of the small theater companies in Philadelphia are in extra need of support. I have seen several outstanding productions in December, some sold out, but some with half-empty audiences, so I’m hoping that all of you can find the time to attend one or more of these, to keep the theater companies going strong in this time of recession. Check out their websites for tickets; you’ll be glad that you did! “Just Married” scene with the cast of actors and puppets from Scapin, Lantern Theater Company; photo by Jeffrey Stockbridge Scapin – Lantern Theater Company (at St. Stephen’s Theater; ) – hilarious and inventive reinterpretation of Molière, set in Venice, using hybrid human/puppets; even the Inquirer raved about this one! Great fun for all ages–kids will love the magic and slapstick, adults will get the clever gags and sophisticated humor, and everyone will appreciate the witty set design of Nick Embree and the unique puppetry of Aaron Cromie. This is not to be missed; I saw it twice. Extended through 1/10.
