The Planet Connection theater festival is an event that has been on my radar for years, yet I’ve never been able to go see a play from it. So imagine how excited I was that I finally got to see what this festival was about. New York City is full of summer festivals, encouraging new artists to bring the best […]

In every corner of the five boroughs lie endless opportunities for culture and entertainment, most of which are unbeknownst to the average citizen. Summer Stage is a free concert series sponsored by the New York City Parks Department that aims to bring free music to outdoor spaces across the city.
