As we soak up the last golden rays of summer, look forward to fall culture. The arts (and even the lesser arts) can soothe and comfort even the most jaded souls. We hope this season is no exception—our critics have lined up some of the most exciting cultural highlights in our fall roundup. Several new shows are exploring the fight for truth in the media—I’m especially excited about The Office-style comedy The Paper and the new season of, well, The Morning Show—and Vince Gilligan (Breaking Bad) is back with a new sci-fi project set in Albuquerque. In film, I’m looking forward to Rose Byrne as a madwoman in Mary Bronstein’s If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, and Richard Linklater’s take on Godard’s novel. In music, I’m looking forward to experiencing the sonic storm of 11,000 Strings by the Park Avenue Armory, and indie rock is clearly having its moment (Mac DeMarco, Big Thief, Jeff Tweedy, the list goes on); Fall for Dance is renewing our love for all that the form has to offer, and the city’s leading ballet companies, New York City Ballet and American Theatre Ballet, are delighting us with seasons of performances. In the arts, there’s a feminist surge, judging by shows by Ruth Asawa, June Leaf, and Vaginal Davis; on Broadway, Keanu Reeves is in Godot, Kristin Chenoweth reigns in The Queen of Versailles, and Bess Wohl’s beautiful, vibrant Liberation is on the horizon. Don’t miss it.
