Creative placemaking: Logic models and love
The day of the annual MayDay Parade and Festival is, quite literally, my favorite day of the year. Full of joy and giant puppets and thousands of people (it’s one of the largest May Day parades in the world!) It makes me proud to live here, connects me deeply to my community, and gives me hope for humanity—it’s that special.MORE »

THEATER | A new voice (Julia Elizabeth Babb) and a vet (Julian McFaul) animate Naked Stages at Pillsbury House
It's almost not fair to review something like Naked Stages, because that's not the point. The Jerome Foundation funds a nine-month commissioning process during which four emerging performance artists are encouraged to develop new work but to concentrate more on the process than the final product.

THEATER | Despite Sonja Parks's strong performance, "No Child..." at Pillsbury House is nothing new

It's the same plot that we've seen in To Sir with Love, Stand and Deliver, Dangerous Minds, and dozens of other movies about teachers making a difference in students' lives against all odds.MORE »
