It's official! We're turning our homepage over to books for a whole week in July. It's a summer celebration of Philly's literary scene. We'll have tons of book reviews, the first-ever guide to books by BSR writers, and we're bringing back our popular BSR Book Chat virtual event. Check out the story below for details.
This weekend marks one year since the Supreme Court decision that ended federal reproductive rights in the US. Take a look at our story about a sensitive new book by an abortion doula, including a conversation with a local doctor who emphasizes the effect of the Dobbs decision on Philly patients.
We've also got a review of a new In the Heights production from Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival, and an arresting new exhibition at the Brandywine Museum of Art. Plus, we're following up on the controversy about the Museum of the American Revolution's upcoming date with Moms for Liberty.
