Winter weather has swept through the city, and we're hoping you're keeping warm.

And if you need a new read, we've got you covered! We have a special YPA book giveaway of Mark Morris's brand-new memoir "Out Loud".

It was marathon Sunday this weekend and what a special day in NYC every year.

When was the last time you told someone they were doing a great job? Let's all celebrate each other's hard work this week!

And if you haven't graced Governors Island with your presence yet this summer, we highly recommend going before it closes for the season at the end of October.

Last week, I made an impulse decision to remedy a tough work day by heading to a performance that I knew nothing about. Within 90 minutes, I was inspired by a new story, heard a different perspective, discovered three new musicians to follow, and left feeling energized. My workload the next day remained just as heavy, yet I arrived refreshed and re-connected to the why behind it all. So this week, follow your gut to where it (or where this vibrant city) leads you—be that to a professional development workshop or just a night at the theater. Because both are good and necessary to getting our work done. Find that balance of business and inspiration-seeking in this week's Read, Go, Listen, and Apply!

Under GO we're excited to share this month's People of Color Theatre Industry Happy Hour and the Speak up, Rise Up festival among other events and our new LISTEN section has two podcast episode gems for you. And another big thank you to all our members who keep sending us job opportunities, we're sharing them here with you to APPLY.

GO brings you to Queens for an Art Fund Info session, DUMBO for a conversation on professional development or the comfort of your living room with online workshops and podcasts to stream. Our APPLY, as usual is full of possibilities - thanks to our members!
