Dear Streetplay readers,

We were having a mild summer at Streetplay headquarters when the
heat finally hit.  WHAM--instant dog days.  Our coverage of the
great games of the city is just as hot though, so grab a cold
one and browse our latest features from the air conditioned
comfort of your home or office!

entertainment troupe in the nation!  Get jiggy with the jumping
and watch our VIDEO coverage of these young-at-heart women in
action:
