Jonathan Silverstein will step down as artistic director of Off-Broadway's Keen Company following the completion of the 2024–2025 season. Silverstein, who has held the position for the past 12 years starting in 2012, said in a statement, “For the past 12 years, it has been a joy and privilege to lead Keen Company. When I first took over from founding Artistic Director Carl Forsman, I had three goals in mind: bring musicals to our stage, develop and produce new work, and cultivate greater diversity both on and off stage. I am proud to say I have taken great strides in all three areas, while at the same time fostering a community where joy is paramount, and all are welcome. Over the past several years, Keen has showcased an ever-widening breadth of stories, so it seems only fitting that I now hand the reins to a new leader who will further define Keen’s unique mission into its next quarter century. Personally, I look forward to other challenges and opportunities outside of Keen including focusing on my directing and teaching work.”

Bingo is a 3-year-old Shih Tzu mix with an adorable appearance and a sweet disposition. However, she needs a patient and understanding owner who recognizes that "dogs are not toys, and not all dogs love to be picked up right away," explains Sandy Paws Rescue Inc. This little lady requires some decompression time upon arriving at her new home to settle in comfortably.
