Our team is excited to bring you behind the scenes of our arts journalism with our new webinar. Whether or not you can make it live at 6:30pm ET tonight (Wednesday, May 29) for the Zoom class from yours truly and the Q&A with critic Cameron Kelsall, everyone who registers can view a recording later. Here's the RSVP link. As always, Friends of BSR attend free--even if you didn't become a Friend until right now! If you're an existing Friend who wants to join in but hasn't registered yet, email us today ([email protected]) and we will get you that comp code right away.
A little housekeeping for this week and next. Our team has got so much on our plate that there will be no Thursday morning newsletter or event roundup from Kyle this week. But be sure to look out on Friday morning for the subscribers-only kickoff of BSR Book Week, which officially runs June 2-8. We have a fantastic stack of book reviews rolling out for you next week, and to get it all started, we're spotlighting the authors on the BSR team. If you ever wondered whether your favorite BSR writer is an author, too, jump on this Friday's BSR in the Wild mailer.
And of course, we're only a week out from our BSR Book Week panel, featuring some of Philly's top literary talent ready to answer your questions about the industry. Register here. Friends join free!
On to this week's stories. We have an interview with artist Jesse Krimes, a look at the Wilma's Tony and what it means for our arts scene, reviews of the latest at the Arden and Wilma, and more, including Stephen Silver's June film screening guide.
See you tonight?

BSR editor-in-chief
