Thanks to everyone in our community who joined us on Monday night at a mixer BSR co-hosted with FringeArts! I had a great time connecting with so many artists and readers.
On to this week's stories. Critic Cameron Kelsall enjoyed Rachmaninoff and the Tsar, onstage at People's Light through September 20. You also shouldn't miss his roundup of (non-Fringe!) theater this month. On the music front, Gail Obenreder is here with a great guide to classical music in and around Philly this month. Her knowledge runs so deep, and she's so good at curating notable concerts. And we're continuing to spotlight the upcoming Fringe Festival, with a guide from curator, producer, and award-winning performer Sarah Knittel. She knows which shows you can bring your mom to, which show to see after a few drinks, and which shows are scary, inspiring, or embody the spirit of the Fringe. Check out her picks.
In tomorrow's newsletter, I'll be coming to you with some updates, including some changes in our newsletters this month, and a final report on our successful summer fundraising campaign. Plus, I will share my own full Fringe calendar, to help you make your own schedule.
