There was a discrepancy in blocking yesterday at rehearsal. The director asked me, “don’t you make an entrance here?” I said, “honey! I always make an entrance.” There was applause.

I used to work for a PreK program, processing applications that parents/guardians had completed. There was a field for “relationship to child,” where the adult was supposed to write something like “mother” or “foster parent.”
One time a parent wrote “good, could be better.” 🤦‍♂️

I would go straight for Meryl Streep. Or at least try my very best.

A sandwich, if fabulous enough, can change your perspective.

@ddraiocht I just replied and said OH NO! This coming from the woman who sang that song about how the data centers are gonna kill my mom. :-(

@itsrosiesturn @ them. Tell them exactly what you feel. My local regional theatre is using AI and it’s shitty for a million reasons. They won’t stop if they don’t hear their audiences complaining.

Just like Our Great President signs off with “President DJT” I’m going to start signing off with “Resident BJB.” Resident BJB

@notjackwolfe @umcearense About 32 seconds by my count. The applause you hear was already occurring as the prologue wrapped up. LJ got applause for his entrance. The audience clocks Shoshana around 5 seconds into this clip.

@oilersdayone @notjackwolfe He makes an aerial entrance at the top of the show in almost complete darkness. For a brief moment we see his legs appear in front of a lit tv set before he ascends again into the darkness. The crowd reacted to this entrance. The crowd went CRAZY when he appeared with the band!

Of course DAYS after the board tells me this, he is reported AGAIN to the board for inappropriate contact with a minor in a rehearsal setting.

There’s this guy who is a known groomer in my local theatre community and while some orgs have reasonably banned him from participating, others continue to contract him as a volunteer and an employee and every time his name appears on a poster or playbill I get SO MAD

[brick @garlic_press_]

I raised a fuss at one local theater and the board pretended their hands were tied and they couldn’t ban a child predator from participating alongside actual children. Needless to say I do not work with that theater anymore.

I had a dream I went to a queer-affirming church and the pastor was like “STAND UP if you’re gay”

Shop local unless you’re like me and you can’t afford to shop at all. Everyone is getting interpretive poetry and dance for Christmas.

Naming your child Luke is a self-fulfilling prophecy. I will not elaborate.

And perhaps a sticky bun?
