MOXIE

If a show consisting of jilted lovers and women in their underwear, or boyhood friendship leading to betrayal, sounds like your bag, then you'll find all that and more when MOXIE premieres its latest work. The Philadelphia Arts Bank will present a collection of dances choreographed and preformed by various MOXIE artists.

This concert will have two new performances by Heather Murphy, "Drift" (a solo performed with musician Mark Monteith) and "Fashion Is a Vampire" (a fast-paced group number). Other pieces include Nichole Canuso's "The Faulty Lens"; Peter D'Orsaneo's "R.P."; and Lea Yeager's "Off the Beaten Path" and "Kisses of Fire." Lastly, Christy Lee will show an expanded version of "Meaningless," which was first performed at the Fringe Festival.

Thu.-Sat., June 6-8, Philadelphia Arts Bank, 601 S. Broad St., 215-545-4877.
