The Weekly Breakdown #52

May 7th - May 13th, 2026

May 07, 2026

Happy Birthday to us! This post is #52, which means that this newsletter/calendar/social presence has been around for a full year. It’s kind of wild to think about it that way, and to reflect on how I’ve adjusted and incorporated this work into my weekly being. It’s far from perfect, but I do think that a niche has been found. I hope that what I’m doing here and on the full calendar is of use to you all, and I hope that I can continue to make it even better. If you like what is being done, spreading the word and sharing with friends is never a bad thing.

For those of you that like to plan, I updated the calendar through the summer with my picks for Summerstage and Summer for the City (Lincoln Center), so check those listings out. And of course, check out their respective seasons of programming on their websites, because there might be something that speaks specifically to you.

For all of our assets in one easy link, including an event submission feature (it helps me out a lot!), you can click right here.
