 ARTPHILLY’S WHAT NOW? FESTIVAL: Featuring over 30 original commissions and taking place during the nation’s 250th anniversary, What Now: 2026 will spotlight the work of artists from the city where it all began.  Image credit White Box Theatre Kea and the Ark June 25 – July 1 at the Sedgwick Theater The story of Kea Tawana needs to be told. In 1982, this revolutionary thinker and maker built an 86-foot long, three-story tall ark in the Central Ward of Newark as an act of protest, tenacity, and imagination. Tawana’s declaration: “There’s no place left on land for me.” White Box Theatre’s Sebastienne Mundheim uses puppetry, dance, electric cello and storytelling to illuminate this arresting tale. Tickets are available through ArtPhilly and the buttons below.
