Founded by artists Leslie Manas and Jean Huffenus, the event was conceived as a U.S. and global-minded arts tradition, and is also intended as an opportunity for independent artists to gain greater exposure. “We are expecting about 50 artisans and vendors. Philly-centric art, talent, and specialties are definitely a focus,” says Manas.

“Ceramics are the biggest trend in the craft world, so we’ll be highlighting that specialty. Jewelry, both precious and alternative is always the most popular category. Perfect for home, work and as gifts, we’ll also have lots of photography and prints,” adds Manas. —MARINA PEdROSA

The season’s can’t-miss performances The Invisible Hand

The Ultimate Outcasts Azuka lets the quirky angsty Moth fly.

A

mysterious moth in a jar. Two 15 year old freaks.

Apocalyptic visions. Those are some of the key ingredients that director Michael Osinski is working with as he makes his directorial debut at Azuka Theater with their production of Moth.

Although this may be the first time in charge of a play at Azuka, Osinski is no stranger to the company or this play, having assisted on a production with the group several years back and having directed Moth for his MFA thesis. With a different cast and design team however this is no re­run for Osinski. “I’ve learned a lot of new things about it. I was worried I was going to have to squash any preconceived notions.”

As one of the co­founders of Flashpoint Theater Company, Osinski says he even aspired to model his company after Azuka. “I always hoped Flashpoint would grow up to be a little bit more like Azuka, so there’s a part of me that feels like this is the next logical step.”

So far that next step has been all good for the director.

“It’s been great. I think that I couldn’t have asked for a better company to sort of welcome me back to Phila­ delphia. They have a mission statement that I identify with greatly and this idea of telling the stories of people whose stories don’t normally get told. Their hashtag is Outcasts and Underdogs, that’s something I can defi­ nitely identify with.” But, it was not without its chal­ lenges, with this being a production at the Drake that treats the space in an unconventional way, “It was con­ structed as a Black Box and we’re putting it to the test,” plus only two and a half weeks rehearsal time.

Azuka’s outcasts of the moment are Sebastian and Claryssa, Moth’s two main characters. Sebastian is ob­ sessed with anime and Claryssa is what Osinski de­ scribes as an emo/Wiccan/goth hybrid. Not surprisingly, both teenage characters have trouble assimilating into high school culture and bond deeply to each other until one fateful night breaks their friendship. The Philadel­ phia premiere by Australian playwright Declan Greene tackles topics of social acceptance, loss and all those other wonderful struggles that unfortunately don’t end once high school is over. With a dark wit and deep char­ acter exploration, the characters don’t fall into the usual conventions of teen angst stories.

Osinski says the challenges the characters face eas­

ily resonated with him. “You can’t pay me enough to re­ live my high school years. I never suffered anything to the extent that these two kids in this place suffer. But I was definitely the nerdy kid no one really knew what to do with.” He adds that the harsh judgements the char­ acters in Moth endure are far from unusual. “In high school you get judged so quickly before anyone knows what you’re really about at a time in your life when you yourself are trying to figure out who you are and what you’re about. The sort of scar that I carry with me is that whenever I meet someone new, I tend to assume that they are judging me harshly off the bat. Even though they just met me and they might be thinking the exact same thing about me. It’s a habit I can’t get out of, that people are judging me critically before they even know me. And that’s something I’m still working out.” He adds with a laugh. “Perhaps with another couple years of therapy we’ll be over that.”

That familiar emotional territory for many of us makes a tale of two awkward teenagers more relevant than we might want it to be. “There’s so much bullying going on in the adult community but it’s just masked,” argues Osinski. “I’ve become more sensitive to how snarky and reductive and judgemental we can be on a daily basis without meaning to offend or harm other people. We’re a culture that has become very good at posting a com­ ment online and letting it go into the ether and not be­ ing aware of the consequences of what we posted. We’re less aware of how what we say and do impacts people.”

Osinski hopes Moth is a small piece of a bigger move­ ment away from the cynical and sarcastic behavior that’s abundant, particularly among social media feeds.

“We could all benefit from having a little compassionate interaction.”

But remember class, this is no after­school spe­ cial. “It’s something an after­school special should be about, but it totally veers away from that into a whole other direction. There’s a puzzle embedded in this play, you have to figure things out as you go along, as audi­ ence members, what actually happened. The play itself doesn’t fall into any cliches.” n

From Headlines to the Stage Freedom Theatre tackles the Trayvon Martin tragedy.

BY A.D. AMOROSI

O

n a Mother’s Day break from directing The Ballad of Trayvon Martin—his newest play, penned just six months after the African-American youth’s slaying at the hands of George Zimmerman— Rajendra Ramoon Maharaj seems to be in great spirits for such a somber, elegantly choreographed theater piece. Then again, it’s hard not to be cheerful considering his circumstance: the Producing Artistic Director of NYC’s Rebel Theater Company (which he started in 2003) is now also the Guest Artistic Director for Freedom Theatre here in Philadelphia, where Trayvon Martin opens this weekend. “It’s interesting I’m doing this here, as I started my journey—got my stage director and choreographer’s union card—at Freedom Theatre when I did A Walk Through Time here,” he says. “It is one of the most prized and treasured places.”

Maharaj is quick to add that it was his mentor, the venerable August Wilson, who said of Freedom that it was— like Crossroads—one of the true stage institutions when it comes to truthfully and imaginatively presenting the African-American narrative, past, present and future. “I absolutely kept track of what has gone on here since, which is why I was so humbled to be asked to take this position and bring them the work that I thought would challenge them.” That includes the Freedom Theatre’s immediate audience, because, as Maharaj notes, this is a community theater as well as a national treasure.

In that regard, Freedom Theatre and its immediate area may very well look like Harlem during its celebrated Renaissance if Maharaj has a say in this theater center’s upcoming 50th anniversary celebration.

“You have to find stories that relate to the demographic as well as open up other demographics.” With that, Maharaj is hoping to include Temple University and North Philadelphia’s West Indian, Caribbean and other diverse cultural backgrounds—the entire diaspora of the African experience—as he is a Brooklyn-born, Indo-Caribbean American who travelled to his Bahamian and Trinidadian homelands throughout his youth and trafficked in his native countries’ brands of storytelling, ritual and celebration. “I hope I bring a world-view, and, a political edge to Freedom …We have to connect.”

Trayvon Martin seems to be helping with that connection, and quickly, as social/activist groups, such as Mothers in Charge (an organization of multi-cultural women who lost their children to violence) are buying up tickets by the handful. Summoning Wilson’s memory again, Maharaj relates this interest to my question “What are you first—an activist or a playwright?” considering the director/writer/choreographer’s history with penning hot button work such as Little Rock and Daisy (each about Daisy Lee Gatson Bates, the civil rights activist behind the Little Rock Integration Crisis of 1957). “Wilson said that we are activists first,” notes Maharaj, reminding me how the incidents in Little Rock touched his spirit, and that of his family’s, to the core. “Theater is a lightning rod for social change, and social justice. That is what has allowed me to write. I’m drawn to stories connecting the Civil Rights Movement to #BlackLivesMatter.”

So vivid in our collective conscious that it hardly has had time to become an aged memory, Trayvon Martin was a 17-year-old African American from Florida,

who was fatally shot by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman in 2012. Not the first or last young black man to be shot unnecessarily and unjustifiably, the death became theatrical for Maharaj as he was working on Little Rock and thinking of a through-line that would run through both plays: Emmett Till. “Segregationists told the Little Rock youths on the day of graduation to beware or they would wind up like Till,” says Maharaj of the Mississippi-born 14-year-old who was slaughtered in 1955 after reportedly flirting with a white woman. “That story stayed a part of me, that and how his mother left the casket open for all to see galvanized me, as it did Dr. Martin Luther King and other black leaders.” When Martin was killed and the verdict giving Zimmerman his freedom came down, Maharaj thought of Till, with frustration and restless energy. His play was born. All of the things that he had learned in college regarding law, communication, journalism and theater came flooding forth in a rush of movement, poetry (some of which would be penned with Trayvon Martin co-writer Thomas J. Soto, a lyrical, Amiri Baraka-like scribe) and theatricality from its images of a hoodie on down. “I felt propelled.”

Crucial to Maharaj in writing the literal (and figurative spirit forms who loved his mom, attended church and dreamt of a future as a pilot) characters of Martin, and even Zimmerman, was to not display the assailed and the assailant as caricatures, to portray each of them as men whose families had each been ripped apart. The choreographic element is there within Trayvon Martin to convey that, which mere words couldn’t, especially in relationship to the two men whose lives were changed in one moment, the capitalistic nature of such (especially as Maharaj shows Zimmerman making money and achieving fame on the back of the murder) and how that affected all-that-would-follow. “Each of these men had a journey. We see inside their hearts, their strengths and weaknesses, their families. Whenever a child is lost a dream is deferred—we are all responsible to feel that. We cannot detach from that reality. Both men’s families died that day. We have to acknowledge our shared pasts.” n

Playing with Lasers

BY JACQUELINE RUPP

A

ndy Molholt, better known as Laser Background has a new/not-so-new album, Correct, being released this week. We chatted with the local musician who cites everything from Syd Barret to Nintendo as inspiration and partners with a variety of filmmakers for his memorable music videos, like the LP’s first single “Jawbreaker” (hint: it’s worth a youtube search).

Let’s talk about your new album.

This album has been done for almost a year. I’ve been sitting on it and touring quite a bit in the interim. Which I’m happy that I waited because I’m working for a really talented group of people that are trying to get the word out for it. It’s an album that I recorded up in Silent Barn in Brooklyn which is a pretty crazy DIY space, there’s like a venue and a barbershop and a recording studio and a thrift store, I don’t know if you’ve been up there before?

It sounds very Brooklyn.

It’s cool. The people that run the studio there are two great, really talented producers and I made the album up there and yeah I’ve just been going crazy finishing up the details of booking the tour, but I’m excited. It’s a six-week tour and the first video came out a month ago, the video my friend Ross Brubeck made for “Jawbreaker.” He’s a Philly director, but I have a couple pretty crazy things coming out, like a video for one of the songs was made by a friend of mine in Athens, Georgia and he does these crazy computer animated videos that look like they were made on Windows 95 technology.

The next one is like a full 360 degree video. Basically it syncs with the gyroscope of your smartphone and the youtube app automatically syncs with that and if you can imagine it’s like a spherical video that then your phone is like this portal into this spherical world. It’s pretty wild, it’s useable with Google Cardboard, you can like look around and you’re in this world of the video.

28 | Philly Weekly | May 12 - 18, 2016 | phillyweekly.com

What’s was the background process of Correct?

There’s this band called Ava Luna, they’re from New York and I played with them at Golden Keyhouse, it was like this pretty active DIY West Philly music space. This was about two years ago and we just hit it off really well and just started making the album way back then so it’s almost been two years in the making. Laser Background is my project, I record everything myself, but I’m working very collaboratively with them on these songs, which was really exciting because they’re the kind of people who, they’re really good about pushing people forward, pushing them to do something better than they would normally do. They’re like my recording team now. I just recorded another album with them, on top of this one, that I have secretly ready in the wings. I always want to be one step ahead of myself.

What are some of your main influences?

My biggest influences come from the late ‘70s/ early ‘70s, I’m super influenced by Syd Barrett, he’s like the original member of Pink Floyd it sounded different from what they ended up becoming, it was really playful but kind of jarring and pretty psychedelic. What I think makes art really good is when it can sort of give you something that’s a little bit familiar so people can identify with it, but then push you over the edge, that’s what I always try to do is push people over the edge into unfamiliar territory and then kind of reel them back in and keep them on that line. I’m really influenced by those early Brian Eno albums, the production styles on those are really interesting and weird and I’m also really influenced by artists like Andy Kaufman, he shakes people up and takes them out of their element. I’m probably never going to make art that’s friendly to the masses. n May 13. 8pm. $8 Ortlieb’s, 847 N. 3rd Street. ortliebslounge. ticketfly.com

The alt rock Bostonians will perform all their crowd favorites, no word if Trippin’ Balls will make an appearance or what covers will end the night however. June 16, 8pm. $31. The Fillmore, 29 E. Allen St. thefillmorephilly.com

Sleep with Windhand

It’s a stoner doom double-header as Sleep brings their psychedelic-infused metal with opening act Windhand to UT. June 20, 6:30pm. $25. Union Transfer, 1026 Spring Garden St. utphilly.com

Mitski

To describe Mitski as angst-ridden wouldn’t do justice to the soul bearing songwriting found on her latest album, Puberty 2, but let’s just say she channels a lot of those annoying voices in all of our heads. Opening the show will be Michelle Zauner’s Japanese Breakfast (you probably know her better from indie punk Little Big League) June 23, 8:30pm. $13-15. Boot & Saddle, 1131 S. Broad St. bootandsaddlephilly.com

PW’s Summer Guide 2016

FOOD & DRINK

Way Cuter than Wooder Ice Q&A with Lil Pop Shop’s Jeanne Chang.

BY JACQUELINE RUPP It’s cool though, I had a person in the kitchen and she called them jimmies. So we were talking, like “oh, maybe we should change the name.” Like “vanilla bean and jimmies” but we just kept it sprinkles. But with the exception of that kind of stuff, everything we use is like an actual, whole ingredient, that doesn’t have dye in it. Our raspberry lemonade popsicle is whole raspberries that we puree with simple syrup and all the simple syrups we make ourselves and infuse with mint or rosemary, or whatever the flavor the popsicle is.

Braving a bit of this chilly and damp-ish weather that has befallen the city as of late, we took a visit over to Lil Pop Shop in University City to find out more about the woman behind those amazingly beautiful popsicle pics that put our food photos to shame on Instagram. Now firmly established in Spruce Hill, owner Jeanne Chang talked about the history behind her pretty pops and what’s next for this summertime destination.

What sets your popsicles apart from other frozen treats in the area?

What’s your most popular flavor?

So we opened in 2012. I had just moved from Durham, North Carolina. I had a culinary background, I went to culinary school after I did my undergrad and worked making cakes and wedding cakes for a while. I took some time off to have a baby and then when we moved here I was really interested in starting a business and I really liked the popsicle idea because it’s pretty straightforward, simple. It’s one product but you can be so creative with it. And I think what makes our popsicles stand apart from some of the other popsicles, we use great ingredients. All of our dairy comes from a local farm, the coffee we use to make our Vietnamese iced coffee popsicles comes from Rival Brothers, their beans are amazing.

So we focus on as much local stuff as we can, seasonal produce, the herbs and the strawberries. So when they are in season, they come from local farms as well. But I think what really sets us apart is that we have popsicles that have a lot of add-ons to them. Like our bestseller is the chocolate with caramel salted brownie. So we make these really delicious browned butter salted caramel brownies. We now have a birthday cake popsicle. And I know that’s pretty traditional, but the trick I think is finding a balance between things that are unique and the ones that are more interesting. Not everyone wants a parsley popsicle, but we do throw that in every now and then. But what sells are the birthday cake popsicles, which has a vanilla base and we make like a vanilla cake from scratch and we make a swiss meringue buttercream and we mix it in and throw it in there. Like our lemon curd with shortbread, we have popsicles but with a lot of added elements thrown in. You’re getting a delicious cold treat, but with a little bite of another sweet dessert as well.

It’s creative, it’s fun, it’s unique. We can do lots of flavors from the range of a little more weird to the more popular and mainstream.

Usually it’s between the salted caramel brownie, the green tea mochi, birthday cake and raspberry lemonade.

What are your new flavors?

We’re bringing out this week a lemon buttermilk with strawberries that’s really light, tart and refreshing with a little bit of sweet in it. And we’re going to bring out a lychee coconut flavor that’s a little more tropical. The garden mint recently came out. Going into our fifth busy season, we kind of know what works now.

If you didn’t have to worry about popularity, what dream flavors would you create?

I really like the herb-based popsicles. We did a spring pea that was really delicious and the parsley popsicle was surprisingly good.

And you have quite the fancy food truck...

The first year we opened we have this little yellow pushcart, which was super cute, but logistically it was challenging because it was heavy and we had to push it up into a van. So we wanted to streamline and just have a bigger presence so now when we do our special events we;re visible. We do a lot of the bigger events like Night Market, last year Made in America, we were there. We do a lot of weddings with the truck as well. We have a freezer in there, we don’t make anything on the truck, we just sell out of it. We don’t just pull up to a spot and vend, we go when someone invites us there.

Where will you be this summer?

We’ll be doing all the Night Markets and we’ll be at Made in America again.

Heidi's Bridge for Lil' Pop Shop

They’re also so photogenic. Does the look of a popsicle play a role in it for you?

Yeah, when the case is completely filled up it’s so pleasing to look at. But I love the look of the ingredients as well. When we get the berries delivered in just in their crates, for me as a visual person, it makes me so happy.

To know that I get to make stuff with that.

It looks much better than the Red 40 popsicles I used to eat as a kid.

Yeah we don’t use artificial, I mean we do use sprinkles.

Ah, sprinkles. Not jimmies.

Do you say jimmies?

30 | Philly Weekly | May 12 - 18, 2016 | phillyweekly.com

No, sprinkles is fine! Jimmies is a Philly thing. It’s just fun to notice what people say.

I grew up in California, so…

Sprinkles.

There’s that cupcake shop Jimmies and I was like “oh, that must be the owner’s name.” But it’s not! So I’ve had my Philadelphia education at this point. Is it just a Philly thing or is it an East Coast thing?

I think it’s a Philly thing, we were isolated for a while and developed these weird names for things.

Any challenges you’ve had to overcome with freezing or maybe melting?

We’ve been lucky but that is definitely something, we have a huge order going out tomorrow and I just keep thinking “I hope that freezer is closed.” It happened once where we lost a freezer of popsicles because the door wasn’t shut all the way, but you learn from those things and just carry on. Then we got alarms for it, so we can hear it. It’s a learning thing. The seasonality is a little bit of a challenge, but it’s really busy during this time of year, so it’s nice to have the break. n

SAVAGE LOVE

by Dan Savage | Twitter: @FakeDanSavage

Mating Games

S

traight male, 48, married 14 years, three kids under age 10.

Needless to say, life is busy at our house. My wife and I have stopped having sex. It was my decision. I get the obligation vibe combined with a vanilla sex life, and it just turns me off. We’ve had many conversations about it and we want to find a balance. But it always defaults back to infrequent and dull, making me frustrated and cranky. For the past two months, I’ve tried to just push sex out of my mind.

We live mostly as parenting roommates.

We used to be pretty kinky—dirty talk, foursomes, toys, porn, etc.—but all those things wear her out now, and her interest has disappeared. My guess is that she was just playing along with my kinks to keep me happy and is now over it. Is this just life as a 48-year-old married father of three? Am I being selfish for wanting more in my sex life than my wife is willing to offer? —Hard Up Husband

Is sex wearing your wife out, HUH, or is raising three kids wearing your wife out?

I suspect it’s the latter.

But in answer to your question: Infrequent and underwhelming sex, sometimes with an obligatory vibe, is not only the sex life a 48-year-old married father of three can expect, it’s the sex life he signed up for. There’s nothing selfish about wanting more sex or wanting it to be more like it was. Kids, however, are a logistical impediment—but a temporarily one, provided you don’t go nuclear. A couple’s sex life can come roaring back so long as they don’t succumb to bitterness, recrimination, and sexlessness.

To avoid all three, HUH, it might help to ask yourself which is the likelier scenario: for years your wife faked an interest in dirty talk, foursomes, toys, porn, etc., in order to trap you, or your wife is currently too exhausted to take an interest in dirty talk, foursomes, toys, porn, etc.

Again, I suspect it’s the latter.

My advice: masturbate more, masturbate together more, lower your expectations so you’ll be pleasantly surprised when a joint masturbation session blows up into something bigger and better, carve out enough time for quality sex (weekends away, if possible, with pot and wine and Viagra), discuss other accommodations/contingencies as needed, and take turns reminding each other that small kids aren’t small forever.

I’m one of those bi guys. I had trouble dat-

ing girls in high school and at 18 found guys so much darn easier. And as sexual promiscuity in the gay world goes, I got around there easily. Fast-forward a few years. I’m in college now and desiring women and stability more. But women find me weird and awkward—I admit I am—something I was never judged for in the gay world. This has been going on for a few years now, and it just gets worse when I’m supposed to be parading around presenting as a horny straight guy. I’d love to find a bisexual woman to start a family with who is up for mutually agreed upon swing-and-fun sessions with others. But from what I’ve experienced with girls so far—always on the watch for a “player,” zero understanding of male bisexuality—that seems far from possible. Lately I’ve just been sitting on my hands in social situations, afraid to even interact with women. Is this therapy worthy?

—Upset Pittsburgher In Troubling Times Therapy couldn’t hurt… unless you get a terrible therapist… in which case it could. Start your therapist hunt at the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (aasect.org), and you’re likelier to find a good/sex-positive one.

As for why your “weird and awkward” first impression seemed to be less of an impediment when you were sleeping with men: Men aren’t subjected to male sexual violence at the same rates that women are. Women have a lot more to fear than men do, UPITT, and a weirdand-awkward first impression is far likelier to turn off a woman into dudes than it is to turn off a man into dudes.

The man you flirt with at a party might think, “Dude’s weird and awkward but he’s hot,” and jump into bed with you.

But the woman you flirt with at a party is likely to think, “Dude’s weird and awkward and he’s hot, but he’s just too weird to risk it.”

Something else that couldn’t hurt: getting on a site like OkCupid and approaching bisexual women there. You may have better luck with women if your initial interactions are over e-mail.

And finally, UPITT, there are gay and bi men out there who desire stability, too—and stability and “promiscuity” aren’t mutually exclusive.. n
