Teaser trailer for POOR JUDGE, opening next week at the Wilma as part of the 2024 Philadelphia Fringe Festival! ✨ 🎟️ https://buff.ly/3XjsU0P Pig Iron Theatre Company’s Poor Judge is an original work of dance-theater cabaret born from the music of alt-rock iconoclast Aimee Mann. Dreamed up by Philadelphia’s beloved Dito van Reigersberg, this live music mixtape is part spy story, part woeful tale of lost loves, and part Hollywood audition—all performed by a local supergroup of actor-musicians. Through vignette and song, Poor Judge offers glimpses of an inviting, seductive Los Angeles and also its shadow: the frightening underbelly of the American Success Story. Be prepared for a night of lonely California highways, movie theater breakups, and sly acoustic reimaginings of Aimee Mann’s haunting catalog. 🌴🎬 Created by Pig Iron from an original idea by Dito van Reigersberg Directed by Eva Steinmetz Music Direction by Alex Bechtel September 11–22, 2024 🎥: Bob Sweeney

Dog Man: The Musical comes to The Wilma Theater from September 26-October 15! 🎟️ https://buff.ly/3XwnXDd Book and Lyrics by Kevin Del Aguila Music by Brad Alexander Adapted from the Dog Man series of books by Dav Pilkey Original Direction and Choreography by Jen Wineman
