Pennsylvania Ballet Company members Lillian Di Piazza (left) and Alexandra Hughes performed during the 21st annual “Shut Up & Dance” March 23 at Forrest Theatre. The one-night performance drew a crowd of 1,400 and raised $115,000 for Metropolitan Area Neighborhood Nutritional Alliance, which provides nutritional meals to people facing life-threatening illnesses such as HIV/AIDS. “I think it went really, really well,” said MANNA events manager Rob Nonemacker, noting that the performance boasted more variety than ever before. “I heard nothing but positive things about it.” Photo: Scott Drake
