Yeah I love @SchittsCreek and I am looking forward to The Minutes but what I really love is @olreid ’s music. His albums are on my writing playlist and inspire me in my own projects. This was an amazing day. I’m so incredibly honored.

@anaismitchell There was more mystery in the world. And more feeling of miniature adventure. If you didn’t know something, the answers were not at your fingertips. Finding answers, finding people like you, finding connection was work, a quest, and led to feeling accomplished.

So @dramabookshop received an honorary Tony Award in 2011. Then the store closed in 2019 and reopened in 2021 with a mostly new cast in a new location. Are we elegible for best revival?

So at work, a playwright I know was working to finish her play and we talked for a moment and I offered advice- mainly keep going and cut later- but talked show and craft. Later, another guest, who had be sitting nearby, came up and thanked me for the advice she overheard. (more)

I geeked out over a show and wrote to the writers. For a moment before hitting send, I felt embarrassed and nerdy. Then I remembered how I feel when someone geeks out over my work. I hit send. WE SHOULD ALL BE GEEKING OUT OVER EACH OTHER’S ART. ALL OF THE TIME. #theatre #art

When I was a kid, my dad would put on music (piano or orchestral- no lyrics) and would ask me "What's HAPPENING in this song?" and "How does it make you FEEL?" I created stories and told them back to him. Thanks to him, I've been writing stories to music my entire life.
