This week, the Academy of Natural Sciences opens its Confluence Film Festival, screening environmental films with the theme of "Seeding the Future"—a perfect theme as we enter Earth Month. Then, we talk with Tyrone L. Robinson about the regional premiere of the musical Jelly's Last Jam. We also spoke with comedian Alison Zeidman and her show Ready to Die?, a stand-up about preparing for end-of-life—it even comes with a DIY workshop—with hopes of demystifying death and dying, especially when you've lost your parents at a young age. Classical music, movies, and dance happenings in the Philly area are listed this week, along with the weekly roundup, which has some compelling exhibitions and performances to check out, too.
Be cool? Stay warm? I don't know anymore. Just be you, Philly.
