    • Have you ever read a single sentence that sticks with you, or seen a piece of art that lingers in the back of your mind years later? How do our encounters with literature and art become parts of us–features of our personal and collective cultural consciousness?

    Writer, critic, and art-lover Brian Dillon revels in the pleasures of the word. In his quest to understand and experiment with these pleasures, Dillon has published four books with Fitzcarraldo Editions. Essayism, a consideration of the craft of the essay, demands that we consider “a type of writing so hard to define its very name means a trial.” Suppose a Sentence collects essays inspired by single, striking sentences in literary history. Affinities asks why things are drawn together, and we drawn to things. Refusing the position of the critic as distanced from the creative process, Dillon insists upon the simple joy of reading, looking, learning, and making. Personal, poetic, and reflective, each book is a new try at writing. Join Dillon in celebrating major and minor moments in art and literature, marveling at the mechanics of prose and the lessons we can glean from it.

    Philadelphia’s Wilma Theater To Receive 2024 Regional Theatre Tony Award

    by Greg Evans

    The Wilma Theater in Philadelphia will be the recipient of the 2024 Regional Theatre Tony Award, an annual honor recognizing a regional theatre company that has displayed “a continuous level of artistic achievement contributing to the growth of theatre nationally.”

    The award is accompanied by a grant of $25,000.

    “We are delighted to announce The Wilma Theater as the recipient of the 2024 Regional Theatre Tony Award,” said Heather Hitchens, president and CEO of the American Theatre Wing and Jason Laks, interim president of the Broadway League. “The Wilma has made outstanding contributions to the world of theatre over the course of 45 years, maintaining an unwavering dedication to contemporary theatre and a commitment to the arts that began with its visionary introduction of avant-garde theatre to Philadelphia in 1979.”

    Established in 1973 as The Wilma Project, the Wilma challenged the Philadelphia cultural community to create theatrical productions of original material and to develop local artists. From 1973 through 1979, the Wilma presented work with renowned avant-garde theater artists. In 1979, Blanka and Jiri Zizka, political refugees from Czechoslovakia, forged a creative relationship with the Wilma as artists-in-residence and gained acclaim for their bold, innovative productions. With a dynamic, physical production style and original music accompaniment, the Zizkas’ original adaptation of George Orwell’s Animal Farm focused a new spotlight on the Wilma.

    The Zizkas assumed artistic leadership of the organization in 1981 and moved the Wilma to a 100-seat theater on Sansom Street. Within five years, the Wilma’s audience had grown dramatically, driving a decision to expand the theater to a new home. As Philadelphia launched a plan to create an arts corridor in the early 1990s, the Wilma Theater was chosen for a new 300-seat theater located
