A boy stands on a stage before an audience looking into the distance, at a darkened skyline of New York City. Text reads, "Boy Player. A true story. Written and performed by Frank Moher. 'Moving, funny, everything that theatre should be.' 'Hilarious and heartwarming.' 'Wonderful.' Western Edge Theatre, April 17-26, Tickets: westernedge.org".
Thanks to Western Edge Theatre for including "Boy Player" in its current season! It's a solo show but, of course, even solo shows aren't really solo ... (1/2)

In "The Sunshine Boys," the characters almost never speak with the past perfect tense; instead they use the simple past.
For ex: "If I stopped talking, they would hit me with the bat" rather than "If I had stopped talking, they would have hit me with the bat."

Sad to miss Michael Cerveris as Scrooge but this Old Vic production of A Christmas Carol is hands down the best I’ve seen. If you’re in NYC in the next 2 weeks, don’t miss it. #TheaterBSky

Inside a cozy home with a Christmas tree lit in the background, a hand holds a copy of “The Theatre Artist’s Guide to Consent-Based Pedagogy” in frame. The book features a dappled marigold and orange cover with hand drawn illustrations of students dancing, laughing, performing together, communicating and writing, atop a background of hand-drawn neurons at top, the authors’ names: Amanda Rose Villarreal and Kim Shively. And the full title in black: The Theatre Artist’s Guide to Consent-Based Pedagogy: Supporting Young Students in Performance and Production”
I teared up encountering this image of The Theatre Artist’s Guide to Consent-Based Pedagogy on IG, underscored by audio of Reading Rainbow’s theme song.
Feeling accomplished and grateful in elder millennial.

This week I have visited 11 high schools and spent time with 32 theatre educators and I just want to remind everyone that artistic spaces are where social intelligence, collaboration, & empathy are learned. …And that consent is key to effective collaboration.
