Dear BSR Subscriber,

It’s time for those May flowers.

Name: Cotter Interactive
Price range: $

Philly blossoms in May, and it really shows this week. Classical music and movie screenings are abundant this month, and CSz Philly’s Off the Record is a musical mockumentary that will be unique each time it performs. ConsentFest from YES! sets up in Clark Park, and of course, there’s this week’s roundup featuring Theatre Horizon’s sandblasted, Masquerade from Koresh Dance Company, and Intercultural Journeys’ 20th anniversary celebration.

Have you signed up for our upcoming May event The Power of Food Media: A Conversation with Kae Lani Palmisano and BSR yet? I hope to see you there! (Friends of BSR get a discount, by the way.)

Take care of yourself!
