Finnish Government Plans Remove Swastika From Flag

The Savannah Stage Company is hosting its inaugural 'Braves the Stage' event on November 16 in Savannah, Georgia, offering community members the chance to perform in front of an audience through singing, dancing, acting, poetry, or pitching. This fundraiser aims to support the company's efforts to nurture local artists. Meanwhile, the Billboard charts highlight the longstanding tradition of soundtracks and cast albums, including those from musical stage shows like 'Hamilton' and 'Wicked,' which have been recognized since 1956. Additionally, a personal narrative shared by a writer details how joining the San Francisco Solo Performance Workshop, led by comedian W. Kamau Bell, helped overcome writer’s block and inspired new creative directions through solo performance art. These diverse stories reflect the vitality and community engagement in theatrical and stage performance arts today.
