BLACK CIRCLE CINEMA presents
TAYLOR MEAD (1924-2013): IT’S MY PARTY AND I’LL DIE IF I WANT TOAux Performance Space / Vox Populi Gallery
319 North 11th Street, 3rd Floor, Philadelphia, PA 19107Tickets: $7-10 sliding scale
Black Circle Cinema lovingly presents our tribute to the recently-passed Taylor Mead (1924-2013), lifelong poet, actor of stage and screen, and Warhol superstar. Famous for roles in films by Robert Downey, Ron Rice, Adolfas Mekas, Jonas Mekas and Andy Warhol (among many others), Taylor Mead lit up the screen and drew the viewer in to every role, no matter how minor. He was also a fixture on the Bowery poetry scene and a superstar who made himself accessible to all.
We are proud to present rare diary films that Taylor Mead made during his travels in the 1960s, as well as a vastly underseen (even by us!) 1960 film by Vernon Zimmerman that promises Taylor Mead in eleven roles!

So. We’re impressed. Impressed by the stories this place tells. Who wouldn’t be? How many square feet? 1,000,000…One million! It has its own zipcode. Impressive. 1929. The largest commercial building in the country at the time.
HARRISBURG – By the end of the month Philadelphia’s infamous Traffic Court will be consigned to a sour footnote in city history.
The Senate on Tuesday unanimously approved a bill to abolish the court and transfer its duties to Municipal Court, just four months after federal indictments were issued against nine current and former judges in a ticket-fixing scandal.
Kelli Roberts, a spokeswoman for Gov. Corbett, said the governor will sign the bill when it reaches his desk. It will take effect immediately.
