    Terrible location.

    by birdman on 10/23/23The Fillmore Philadelphia - Philadelphia

    I am 86yo and have never been to an event in a worse location. A rambling maze of narrow, mostly one-way streets which might be okay if you lived locally, but not if you are coming from outside of Philadelphia, aka the burbs. Terrible street signs of all shapes and sizes if they existed at all. Poor street lighting to be able to locate and read the signs. No building numbers to know where you are on any street. The Fillmore itself is kinda like being in a former warehouse with folding chairs crowded together on the main floor. No big deal, but not what was expected. Parking availability was unknown so I paid 3 times the average going rate to ensure an available parking space upon arrival which turned out to be an open unguarded dirt lot. From experience I meant to scope everything out in daylight in the days before the event, but it ended up not happening and would have only marginallly helped anyway. The show itself was fine.

    Unforgettable Evening of Thought Provoking Discussion

    by The Hall on 10/12/23House of Blues Chicago - Chicago

    Guest panel was well curated to facilitate thought provoking discussion among the host and guests. Insightful on multiple levels. Particularly enjoyed the discussions of the historic roots of hip hop and the geographic and cultural cross pollination of the black experience. Also, the discussion of the creative process -- Vic Mensa's sharing his process was inspirational for all types of creative endeavors.

    Awesome Evening

    by Gail on 12/19/19Town Hall - New York

    The interaction between Kushner and Harris was so stimulating--from the erudite to hilarity. It also provided some keen insights into why we are where we are today!

    Poor acoustics

    by Jo on 12/11/19Town Hall - New York

    It was nice seeing Chris live. However, I was sitting on the side in the mezzanine and could only hear 2 out of three words, especially when spoken by the guest whose back was to me.

    Fascinating snd inspiring

    by Tita on 12/11/19Town Hall - New York

    As fly on wall for interesting conversation between Hayes and two playwrights, Tony Kushner (Angels in America) and Jeremy O. harris (Slave Play) in the NYC theater district, I was inspired to focus on whatever work is right for me to do and not worry about how much impact the work has or how many people care about it. Chris asked good questions then let the playwrights play with ideas and share their life stories
