Around any physical war there is another war occurring: a war of popular culture, which does not obey the same rules of engagement. Wide Awake's singular Southern voice, the Scarlett O'Hara-inspired Dixie, is surrounded by a myriad of Northern voices—characters donning mustaches, Lincoln-style top hats, corsets, britches, and boots at various points throughout the cabaret's musical journey. Meet some of the era's historically marginalized characters—including the oft-forgot Julia Ward Howe, Angelina Grimké Wald, Abby Kelly Foster, and Philadelphian abolitionist Lucretia Mott. Part Gone With the Wind, part folk-punk extravaganza, join The Bearded Ladies as they test their hypothesis that the Civil War 'has been fought both before and after the actual event' and is being waged, even today. This event is part of PIFA 2013. Visit PIFA.org for a complete listing of events. Show less

The CEC is best known by artists and audiences alike for the 18-year old New Edge program. The program best represents the melding of two major aspects of the CEC's mission and core goals of building a sense of shared community through the use of the arts and supporting artists. The program is unique in the region and has greatly enriched the professional development and careers of a generation of local artists, launching many artists regionally and beyond, including Leah Stein, Eric Schoefer, Renee Banson, Robert Burden, Paul Turner, David Konyk, Nicole Canuso, Katharine Livingston, Rebecca Sloan, Asians Misbehavin' and Karen Carlson. Through the New Edge Program's two major components, the Residency and the Mix, the CEC has brought a generation of local artists together with community residents and audiences from across the region to interact as artist and audience, and as human beings to build understanding of one another and the arts.
