A reminder: We invite you to attend a talk by playwright Jeffrey Fiske on the evening of Wednesday, October 26th, at 6:00 p.m. Jeffrey is an independent playwright and director, best known for writing and directing the Off-Broadway production of C. S. Lewis’ The Screwtape Letters . I saw the play, and it was very good, and have been privileged to have one long talk with Jeffrey about his work. I learned a lot about the craft of writing plays just from that one talk.
He will be speaking on “The Airborne Rangers of Theater: Christians in the Performing Arts” at the magazine’s office at 35 East 21st Street, Sixth Floor (between Broadway and Park and a few blocks north of Union Square). A wine and cheese reception will follow.

Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
