Hello Friends! Many thanks to those who are donating in our final weeks of 2025. And an especially warm thank you to those of you who are new Friends.

Tickets are on sale now for our 20th anniversary celebration, Party with the Critics: 20 Years of BSR. This event is coming up Thursday, January 15, 6pm-9pm at the Indy Hall Clubhouse, 709 N. 2nd St. We're overdue to celebrate the years of work that we've all enjoyed together. Expect guest speakers, food and beverage, and a silent auction. Philadelphia theater-maker Chris Davis will perform an excerpt of one of his popular shows. As a Friend of BSR, you can enter discount code 20MoreYears at PartyWithTheCritics.eventbrite.com to unlock a deeply discounted ticket of $20, one dollar for each year of our work so far. More details are pending, so keep an eye on your inbox and our social media as we confirm those. (This party is an important fundraiser for us, so please don't share that promo code; it's only for our Friends.)

And as we head into the end of the year, we're doing some retrospectives. What BSR pieces in 2025 were your favorites? Which ones did you send to your contacts, which ones stand out in your memory still? Feel free to respond to this email!
