The Revue Review is a literary journal and variety show that connects generations for artistic collaboration, fosters empathy, engenders a sense of purpose and belonging, and decreases feelings of isolation during the Covid-19 pandemic. It is a project dreamed up by arts educator, Jennifer Hill, and funded through a grant from South Central PaARTNERS.

The Revue Review includes the work of those 65 years old and up and those who are18 and under only. Four editors from each age group (4-18, and 65 and up) help manage outreach, submissions, and editorial tasks for the journal, and a separate panel of elders and youth manage tasks associated with accepting and compiling variety show acts. Editorial staff are also welcome and encouraged to create and submit work for both the journal and the variety show.

The first issue sought submissions on the general theme of “Belonging.”

Deadline for submissions for the journal and variety show is October 1st, 2021.

 

The editorial board, with the assistance of Jennifer, will partner an elder and a youth to work together on a submission for the magazine. Issues and shows will always be open to “solo” submissions, but those after the first will always have at least a few collaborative creative efforts — poems, stories, musical acts, films, whatever the pair can create together.

Send Jennifer an email with your intent to submit (or your questions), and she'll reply with instructions.
