We at Broad Street Review work hard to cover Philly’s cultural scene as other publications cut back. Frankly, it’s an uphill battle for attention. Large outlets and partisan talking heads have the resources to dominate across platforms. Non-journalist players also want your minutes, dollars, and clicks.
Instead of the daily electoral horse race, we offer thoughtful, meaningful critiques and profiles of artists and institutions whose work is the beating heart of our city. You can directly support our writers and editors. This week, we kick off the region’s most comprehensive Fringe Festival coverage. Fringe shows are absurd and hilarious, poignant and tragic, informative and fun, tackling topics like racial justice, grief, body liberation, public health, queer joy, women in politics, and, yes, our shared digital overwhelm.
We can’t do this work without your help. You can make a one-time gift of any size, or become a Friend of BSR with a one-time donation of at least $60, or an automated gift of $5/month. Here’s the link to give. Friends attend most BSR events free, from our writers’ meetups to our popular webinars, and they get special discounts and giveaways throughout the year.
If you can’t give, sharing our work with your friends also helps us keep doing the work we do and build new opportunities for our staff, readers, and partners—like you.
