You know that feeling. That feeling you get when you wear that new sweater wrap, and everyone keeps asking where you got it, and you simply don't want to tell?

Moss Hart, Kurt Weill and Ira Gershwin must have had copies of Hamlet firmly in hand while collaborating on Lady in the Dark. The protagonist of this 1941 musical, Liza Elliott, is repeatedly faulted as a woman who, like our favorite Dane, "can't make up her mind." For Penn's Theatre Arts Program, Lady in the Dark represents an ambitious undertaking.

With the plethora of sports-gear vendors like eastbay.com, City Sports, Footlocker and even the shop at Pottruck, one might wonder, "Why should I schlep downtown to five-month-old Philadelphia Runner?" Well, aside from the fact that you can lunch at nearby Brasserie Perrier, visit Runner because its not just a runner's store, but a runner's "community." According to owner and manager Bryan Mahon, his goal for the store "is to become the Town Square of Philadelphia's runners' community," selling not only merchandise, but better yet, "knowledge, service and enthusiasm." All of the staff are serious runners, and assess customers' feet type and stride in order to fit them with the best shoe.

One, two, three and four, five, six, seven, and eight." These sounds of drilling dancers to perfection are the first things I hear above my own desperate gasps for air as I scale the steps of Pottruck Fitness Center (perhaps it's been a little too long since I last visited the gym) to watch Strictly Funk's reherse for their spring show.
