Entering its 34th season, Diversionary Theater is upstairs above the lobby; guests can just ascend the pink staircase to find it. The fact this theater still survives is a testament to capitalism.

Wendy Hammarstrom - Special to Village News The first time I received an acupuncture session was in 1989 when I was trying valiantly to get pregnant. I made an appointment with a Chinese man in Philadelphia's Chinatown and he showed me the needles, told me they wouldn't hurt and that they only pierced the outer layer of the skin. I was doubtful, but he was correct. The treatments were pain-free and relaxing. I continued to receive acupuncture treatments for several months,... Full story
