In the past three weeks, we’ve lost three cultural pillars: Danny Simmons, Dito van Reigersberg and Gretjen Clausing. Each shaped the cultural life of Philadelphia and beyond, creating pathways for more of us to tell our own stories, take up space, and be unapologetic in our being.We are grateful for the many ways their paths intersected with the Bride and for the lasting impact they made through their creativity, leadership, and generosity. Their contributions to Philadelphia’s creative community will continue to be felt for generations.We extend our deepest condolences to their families, friends, colleagues, and all who carry their memories forward.Gretjen Clausinghttps://www.inquirer.com/obituaries/gretjen-clausing-obituary-philadelphia-phillycam-tv-access-20260529.htmlDito van Reigersberghttps://www.pewcenterarts.org/news/memoriam-dito-van-reigersberg-theater-artist-and-pew-fellowDanny Simmonshttps://www.inquirer.com/obituaries/danny-simmons-rush-arts-philadelphia-death-20260615.html by @paintedbrideac

"The experiment is to make the audience understand how, in Latin American music and our folklore, songs are created." - ANDRÉS CISNEROSPart of our Proof of Life Residency showings, "Philly Cancionero" brings that process to life in real time. Audience members write and submit responses. Andrés selects one and, with his band, transforms it into a song on the spot, live. This happens three times over the course of the evening.Free RSVP open now at the link in our bio! by @paintedbrideac

"This piece hopes to instill a sense of doubt in these icons, as well as a sense of self-worth in young men." - Taj Rauch"All Heathens Go to Heaven" is a gamified, audience-driven experience that puts a mirror to human behavior, confronting the influence of toxic masculinity in real time. Participants move through a constructed world where their choices shape what unfolds.Part of our Proof of Life Artists Residency showings, there are only two opportunities to experience the work in this capacity! May 15th and 16th from 6:30pm to 8:30pm. RSVP at the link in our bio! by @paintedbrideac
