New York City is gearing up for the third annual Internet Week New York, which will will host over 150 events between June 7-14 at the festival’s first-ever headquarters at Chelsea’s Metropolitan Pavilion and at dozens of locations throughout the City.
Reflecting both the rise of New York City as a new tech capital and the festival’s emergence as a top annual gathering for Internet leaders, the diverse slate of programming includes everything from panels, conferences, and educational events to art installations, live performances and parties. To build buzz for the festival, PKPR secured preview stories in a wide range of media including the Wall Street Journal (”Internet Week New York kicks of seven days of Web geekery”), New York Times (”Tech festivals land”) CNN (”The next Silicon Valley? It may be New York”), NBC New York (”Internet Week to be bigger and better”), Metro (”The tech sector powers up”), Hollywood Reporter, Village Voice, ZDNet, PCMag, and Mediabistro.

Walt Whitman’s masterpiece “Song of Myself” was brought to life in neighborhoods throughout his beloved New York in a stirring music-theater adaptation making it world debut earlier this month.
From May 5-14, Compagnia de’ Colombari presented MORE OR LESS I AM in venues ranging from the poet’s Long Island birthplace to Grant’s Tomb. The play was conceived and directed by company founder Karin Coonrod, with music by members of the genre-defying string ensemble Brooklyn Rider.
PKPR handled publicity for the roving production, securing a glowing review from The New Yorker’s Ian Crouch, who wrote: “For an hour, it felt as though we’d created, audience and performers together, a real community. To risk sounding trite, we’d become Whitman’s Americans living in his America.”
Other coverage included features in Newsday, American Theater Magazine, Gay City News, and The Brooklyn Paper, as well as previews in Theatermania, Time Out New York, The Village Voice, and This Week in New York.
