This year's winning entry is an emotional account of living with schizoaffective disorder, from a student at Miami Dade College.

Note: The production has been extended for one week due to popular demand. By Sanaz Toossi Directed by Arya Shahi Winner of the 2023 Pulitzer Prize, the Obie Award, and the Lucille Lortel Award. In a classroom near Tehran, four adult students prepare for an English proficiency exam. They each have a reason for being there: a chance at opportunity, access, or a new calling. But as they bond over this new way to express themselves, they also grapple with the lives they must leave behind. Told with hilarious wit and genuine compassion, Sanaz Toossi’s "English" is “both a buoyant comedy of communication and a subtle but probing exploration of what it means to speak and feel understood” (New York Theatre Guide). This production includes strong language.

When Pope Pius XII died in 1958, his papers were sealed in the Vatican Secret Archives, leaving unanswered questions about what he knew and did during World War II. In 2020, the archives were finally opened. Based on thousands of never-before-seen documents, David Kertzer’s “The Pope at War” paints a dramatic portrait of what the Pope did and did not do as war enveloped the continent and as the Nazis began their systematic mass murder of Europe’s Jews. Kertzer is the Brown University Dupee University Professor of Social Science, Emeritus, and Research Professor at the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs at Brown. His publications include the Pulitzer Prize-winning “The Pope and Mussolini: The Secret History of Pius XI and the Rise of Fascism in Europe” (2014); “The Popes against the Jews” (2001); and “The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara” (1998).

Thursday, June 6, 2024 at 11:30 p.m. on KPBS TV / Stream now with the PBS App. "In today's world," says GZERO World guest and Pulitzer prize-winning New York Times Correspondent David Sanger, "the next Cold War would look nothing like the last one (assuming it stays cold). It might not even be just one war. America now faces two great adversaries, China and Russia, and it's by no means clear who will win out."

The top prize, the 2024 Sweepstakes Trophy, went to the San Diego Zoo for the float “It All Started With a Roar.”

This weekend in the arts: Medium Festival of Photography, San Diego Museum of Art's annual floral show, the San Diego Book Crawl, plus opera, street festivals, choral music and some live music picks.

Freeways are not free. We pay for them in all kinds of ways — with our tax dollars, our time, our environment and our health. While freeways have enabled huge amounts of economic growth, they've also caused displacement and division. Learn the forgotten history of our urban freeway network, and how decades after that network was finished, some communities are still working to heal the wounds that freeways left behind. As climate change threatens to wreak havoc on our cities, freeways are not just a part of the problem. They can also be part of the solution.
