I teach high school theatre. I write screenplays. Most days my worlds collide.

Don't know about these establishing shots of Chicago in The Bear. It's not a show that needs that. It feels focus grouped.

Students playing Panel Of Experts:
Audience question: I tried to summon a demon but it turned into a lemon. What should I do?

I told my students to come up with an idea for a bad one act and one suggested:
"A sentient fireball tries to perform surgery on a duck."
But that's an idea for a GOOD one act.

if twitter really is dying, my confession is that i never noticed the comma in that one pride and prejudice quote, so up until recently i always read it as "you have bewitched me body and me soul" in a leprachaun voice and i never understood how people found that romantic

@JasonAvalos Yes! Well deserved!

Also really appreciate "catch a bubble with your mouth" and "snowball hands."

Dear Elementary School Teachers,

Somehow you have made “criss cross applesauce” the most universal, memorable and powerful phrase ever.

When I asked my high school students to sit on the floor for an activity, they all shouted, in unison, “criss cross applesauce!”

There are three maniacs in every classroom. Get them on your side so you can teach.

What is the best piece of teaching advice you ever received as a teacher?

@playwrightnow On another note, I'm directing your play TRAP right now and thank you for such a rich experience for young actors. We are having a blast.

Most decisions make themselves.

If you listen closely, when people give advice: they’re actually talking to younger versions of themselves.

I don't know if I would have decorated the outside of this American Red Cross training facility with fake blood for Halloween, but ok, volunteer squad.
