Theater, dance, and circus for the price of a sandwich: NICE AND FRESH December

SmokeyScout Productions’ Nice and Fresh series features new works of theater, dance, and circus arts at venues in Northwest Philadelphia. Each month four artists/companies perform new and original 10- to 15-minute works in a variety of styles and disciplines. All for the price of a sandwich.

This month features circus heroes Almanac, Philadanco alum Lauren Putty White, a short by SmokeyScout artistic director Josh McIlvain, and the return of prodigal playwright John Rosenberg. [Moving Arts of Mount Airy, 6819 Greene Street (at Carpenter Lane), Mount Airy] December 5-6, 2014; smokeyscout.com.
