The SMELL alone. I've never had the nerve to try them.

it’s a great day for transphobes to eat shit

if the kids today aren't willing to Learn a Little Something about their own proclivities by seeing Tim Curry look and sound and move Like That, well then, I just can't help them.

It is About how hot Tim Curry is in drag, what a simple answer!

So fun fact, you can put on your Functional Adult pants and do the hard things and not actually get helped bc American healthcare is a hellscape and it turns out your vision insurance plan stopped covering you in January and no one knew until you tried to see the doctor.

It turns out the hardest part of being an adult is not making the doctor's appointment when things are scary, it's going ANYWAY when the scary thing stopped happening on its own because you can recognize that this does Not mean the problem has been solved through the power of panic.

Jesse includes both truths and a great CTA in this thread.

Yes!! This is so well deserved, this game is a knockout.

Hell yeah hell yeah!!!! This absolutely ruless and so well deserved!

Something that I had always wondered is why Boublil and Schonberg, the team behind Les Miserables, never quite captured the same magic again. (Miss Saigon is quite good, but it's not AS good, and once you go beyond that...)

Kell, it’s been WILD, there have been days where it’s like seeing through haze all day, my left eye has also decided to go crazy irritated and also today be better at seeing distance than usual (I’m very nearsighted in both eyes normally??)… no idea what’s going on.

The author of this article refused to sign an NDA, giving up severance and healthcare benefits to tell this story.

If you didn't read it already, read it.

Because he refused, we may be able to stop the Kennedy Center from being sold for parts and turned into a gaudy MAGA fundraising warehouse.

Having some super fun eye problems that made me need to leave work after an hour this morning and call out to miss my own choir concert this afternoon, but on the pro side, it’s actually been kind of nice to just sit in my dark apartment for the day.

A fun thing for a Friday morning is to suddenly have a wasp in your office??

THAT IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely love a Jasmine table, she deserves so many more flowers (appropriately).

Went back and found my review and now I understand why she was so shocked I had seen it- there were only TWO PERFORMANCES at the Folger, back in 2010. 🤩

Why yes, I DID just run into Kate Eastwood Norris and I DID tell her how much I’ve been thinking of her one woman Hamlet and that I’ve never forgotten it, and she was genuinely touched, we call that a DC theatre victory, folks.

Boys Go to Jupiter! Literally heard about them for over a year, heard a clip of a song and thought it sounded great, but just didn’t follow up.

When you finally listen to the album you’d heard you would love, shocker, it’s great, you look up touring dates… and you missed them in DC LAST WEEK.

The way I absolutely IMPRINTED on those books!!!!

I want this…. SO MUCH.

Because I do this as part of creative drama, I'm also on the lookout for ways to have the kids DOING things along the way, so I build in repeated phrases, or chances to respond as characters, or motions and rhythms to repeat. Without meaning to, I now have my own version of the story that I pass on.

Do this five times in a row, and you'll start to develop your own little flourishes. Do it ten times, and you'll no longer need to glance at the page as you go, the whole story structure will be internalized. Do it ten more times, and you are telling it entirely in your own style.

If you ever want to get the feeling of how folktales evolve over practice, just pick a children's book and read it to a bunch of classrooms in a row. Kids demand to see the pictures at all times, so you have to know it well enough to tell without reading it word by word.

I have sent SO MANY PEOPLE the link to your website with the rundown of the Harrow references over the last few years

Seanan KNOWS what she is ABOUT.

One tricky song and a clever conductor have given me a habit I use every time I sing, decades later. It’s a remarkable continuity of a single gift.

Shout out to the conductor of the 2000 Louisiana All State Chorus who taught us to stop keeping time by tapping feet and instead to do an invisible pulse between one index finger and thumb. The smallness of the motion means no one will ever see it, and you don’t lose time from moving bigger limbs.

It looks FANTASTIC
