Evil Eye Arts – “Something is Something”

STARRING:
Pete Heleva
Crystal Why
Leyla Eraslan

Pete Heleva is the host of open mic night every Monday at the Walking Fish Theatre in Fishtown. He has worked on various productions for the Walking Fish, including Adventures in the Skin Trade, Fractured Fairy Tales, Mark Borkowski’s Gravedigger, a Fractured Christmas Carol, and for Pilot Light’s rendition of the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. Of late he is a board operator, technical advisor, and sometimes writer for the sketch comedy group High Dramma. He is also the front man for the local surfpunk band The Gremlins.

Crystal Why is a performance artist thriving in the city of brotherly love. She is a whimsical brotherlady devoted to flux and joy, and desperately grateful for her amazing friends. Other conspirations include performances with Nebulous Intent, The Dumpsta Players, Traverse Arts, and the occasional LARP. She is still hoping that she will figure out how to stop talking in the third person by showtime…

Leyla Eraslan owes her unrepentant weirdness to a South Jersey upbringing and reading too many books. Currently an employee of a Philadelphia arts education nonprofit, Leyla lives in South Philly, or so it is rumored. In 2008, she wrote, directed and co-produced Love After Death for the Philadelphia Fringe Festival. She frequents the Walking Fish Theatre Open Mic. She has been involved in a smattering of artistic endeavors, and likes the word smattering. Leyla’s passions include art, helping people, and drawing lips in the corners of her notebook.

“Something is Something” is an Evil Eye Arts work. Evil Eye Arts — the Art Collective that believes in doing things your damn self. Online at evileyearts.webs.com
