Coming to you before September has even started because it's the busiest time of year for a theater artist in Philadelphia: Fringe! This newlsetter will be the first of a series of weekly emails: I'll be updating what I've seen and what I'm seeing, with little writeups and musings along the way.

But first:

Bonus Art in August

I've been enjoying some of the masterclasses offered by Blue Stoop, a Philadelphia writing community. Most recently I went to Chisel In Hand: Revision Strategies for Ficion with N.K. Jemisin, who talked about the indulgence of editing and how to approach it. The class was mostly focused on novel and prose writing, but I still got a lot out of it as someone who is deep in a revision process right now. I'm looking forward to watching The Image That Haunts with Chen Chen when I have a minute!
