Philadelphia Live Arts & Philly Fringe
Plays and Players Theater
1714 Delancey Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103-6715

Since the dawn of time mankind has consulted their mystics, their gurus, and their warlocks, to unlock the secrets of the physical universe. Mankind, look no further! For the first time in the greater Philadelphia area, three world-class semi-pro conjurors Dennis Diamond, Daryl Hannah, and Louie Magic take you on a journey you never even knew existed. Prepare to be confounded, amazed, and mystified until you are slack-mouthed and twitching, beyond remedy in a puddle of your own crushed perception.
