Plenty to See Here
PLSN co-editors Michael S. Eddy and Debi Moen provide a quick tour of the highlights of the September 2022 issue of the magazine.

Coldplay’s efforts to “go green” on tour had an impact on the design team, which had to pivot in how they put together a production. In this issue, we talk to the creatives about complying with the sustainability mantra on one of the most talked about tours, “Music of the Spheres.”
