Artist Talk With Gemma Correll (AnxietyLand)
2026-09-10 19:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York) | Multiverse, 8026 Germantown Ave, Philadelphia, PA, 19118, United States
Join us on Thursday, September 10th at 7pm for an artist talk with Correll where she will share her creative process for drawing, organizing and producing her bestselling graphic novel, Anxietyland.
In 2018, Gemma Correll had a panic attack that lasted for weeks on end. Unable to do much more than walk aimlessly through the streets of Berkeley, Correll admitted herself to the hospital to reckon with The Bad Feeling that had been her companion since she was a child.
With her ingenious and charming illustrations “bursting with personality…peppered with witty asides” (Publishers Weekly), Correll leads readers through the amusement park in her own mind—featuring severe anxiety, depression, agoraphobia, and dissociation—a frightening and darkly funny world that “feels like a place apart from ‘real’ life.”
A hilarious thrill ride exploring the mysteries of the mind-body connection, Gemma Correll’s graphic memoir is shot through with the absurd knowledge that there is no linear way through Anxietyland, nor any cure-alls—but there are ways to feel better if you keep trying to move forward.
***This event is free and open to the public, but space is limited. Books will be available for purchase and signing by Gemma Correll. ***

Edgar Allan Poe's LIGEIA Reimagined through Physical Theatre at Cannonball Festival
2026-09-16 21:00 - 22:00 | Asian Arts Initiative, 1219 Vine Street, Philadelphia, PA, 19107, United States
PHILADELPHIA, PA: LIGEIA by Edgar Allan Poe will be presented in the Cannonball Festival, part of the Philadelphia Fringe Festival, at Asian Arts Initiative (1219 Vine St). This intimate physical theatre adaptation of the gothic masterpiece will run September 16-19.
Obsession for the lost LIGEIA spirals into madness in Poe’s haunting tale of unutterable grief and unimaginable terror. As chilling evidence of a supernatural presence mounts, the audience wonders: are the narrator’s visions caused by opium, or has his wife’s corpse been possessed?
Rather than dramatizing the events of the plot, LIGEIA emphasizes the physical action of storytelling itself. Remaining faithful to Poe’s original text, solo-performer William Trevino weaves poetic language with his decades of martial arts practice to create a visceral atmosphere of suspense. A 6th degree black belt in Soo Bahk Do and a veteran Poe performer, Trevino transforms martial arts movement to embody the psychological struggles of Poe’s narrator.
“I think of Poe’s language as a complex musical score,” says Trevino. “My martial arts choreography doesn’t illustrate the story, it dances to it.”
William Trevino’s work devising theatre from martial arts has been presented in NYC (including at Dixon Place and HERE Arts Center) with support from the Jerome Foundation and the Queens Arts Fund. His Poe performances have ranged from presenting The Tell-Tale Heart at the Edgar Allan Poe House & Museum in Baltimore, to hosting the television series Gothic Tales on Manhattan Neighborhood Network/MNN.
LIGEIA by Edgar Allan Poe will be presented on September 16 (9:00 PM), 17 (6:00 PM), and 19 (3:30 PM) at Asian Arts Initiative (1219 Vine St, Philadelphia, PA 19107) as part of Cannonball, a presenting hub of the Philadelphia Fringe Festival. General Admission is $25, with PWYC (pay what you can) tickets available. For tickets & info: https://phillyfringe.org/events/ligeia-by-edgar-allan-poe/
Intimate and emotionally intense, the performance is intended for mature audiences.
