This week our reviewers took in the latest from Pier Players Theatre Company (Gabrielle Kaplan-Mayer says this Peter Pan adaptation isn't ready to fly), and Curio's Sacco & Vanzetti: A Tragedia Dell’Arte, which Walt Maguire says is extremely relevant to the ongoing injustice immigrants face.
We're also proud to welcome James Ijames back to the BSR Podcast for a wide-ranging conversation with Darnelle ahead of the opening of his third Philly production this season, Wilderness Generation at PTC. Don't miss this chat. And Cameron Kelsall is here to give you a look at Philly Theatre Week and Miniball, two exciting spring theater festivals.
Finally, there's still time to register (it's free!) for my new class, Building a Positive Relationship with Editors, happening over at Blue Stoop this Thursday, April 16 on Zoom, 4-5pm ET. RSVP here. I'll be sharing about my editorial process and tips for positive collaboration with editors. It's aimed at writers, but anyone with an interest in the industry is welcome!
