“Dear PoPville,
Any idea why there was a line outside studio theater this morning (April 30, 2025)?”
Thanks to Noa for sending:
“Long line at studio theater! You can spot it from Logan Circle. Goes from 14th down P almost half way to the circle. Talked to someone in line. It’s audition day for the studio theater up coming season.“
Should you have any info please email at [email protected] and I’ll pass on to OP. THanks!
“Dear PoPville,
My husband and I put a bench down next to the sidewalk at 4711 4th Street for Porchfest, so folks could sit while they watched the bands, and we hadn’t yet brought it back up to the porch. (Stupid, I know.) Sometime between last night and this morning, it went missing. Probably someone assumed we were giving it away. But the iron part is a headboard that my Grandpa made for the twin bed I slept in for 18 years, and my Dad, who now has ALS and is mostly paralyzed, made it into this bench for me. It was the last thing he ever made, so it’s really important to me.”
