Crossroads Music organizes public performances by accomplished musicians with roots in cultures from around the world. Our concerts, workshops, master classes, lectures, and other activities educate the public by providing a welcoming and affordable environment for music-lovers of all ages and backgrounds to explore seldom-heard sounds and engage in intercultural dialogue. We also work closely with other community and cultural organizations that share our goals. Crossroads is a community-based not-for-profit organization where musicians retain the freedom to stay close to their roots and also explore new avenues of expression. We are inspired by and seek to maintain West Philadelphia’s historic role as a diverse and inclusive meeting place for different cultures, social and economic classes, and progressive social movements.

Curio Theatre Company was founded in 2001 by Gay Carducci, Paul Kuhn, and Jared Reed with a goal to illuminate classic works and styles selected from a wide variety of sources (novels, dramas, poetry, art, epic, history). The three met at Hedgerow Theatre, Rose Valley, PA. Also veterans of Hedgerow Theatre, Aetna Gallagher, joined the company in 2003, and Keren White, in 2004, when the company registered as a non-profit 501c3 company. Curio began as a touring company serving regional schools in and around Philadelphia and beyond. Past tours include many local high schools, elementary schools, Philadelphia University of the Sciences, Temple University, and the University of Oxford, UK. Curio is now in the process of moving into Calvary Church, at 48th Street and Baltimore Avenue, in partnership with Calvary Center for Culture and Community (CCCC). This will be the company’s first year operating from their own theatre offices and permanent rehearsal space, from which to run classes for all ages, outreach programs, and a full 2005-6 season of performances. Curio is currently running an outreach program to the Lea School in West Philadelphia funded by the University of Pennsylvania and the Graduate School of Education. Curio and CCCC are currently working to raise funds to convert the historic sanctuary within Calvary Church into a fully operational theatre within the heart of University City. In the meantime, Curio are launching their first full season at the Walnut Street Studio 5 Theatre, beginning August 2005, while the space at Calvary is being developed. Curio Theatre Company Mission Curio Theatre Company is a company of new and established theatre professionals in the process of moving into a permanent space in University City. Curio focuses on classic plays of a highly theatrical nature, and adaptations and new works derived from a variety of sources with a basis in classic tradition. In 2005-2006 we are launching our first season at the Walnut Street Studio, whilst forging our roots in University City. Visit Curio Theatre Company's Web site. Check out the CCCC calendar for upcoming performances and workshops.
