A WHOLE NEW WORLD

The answer to the question I posed in my last update ("What's next?") proved to be "A lot."

In the last six months I presented and moderated at the Tessitura Conference, then promptly moved to New York to start work with Disney Theatrical Group. It's a dream come true to work with incredible colleagues and amidst this amazing Broadway community, and I love every second of it. 

Being back in New York has been a welcome change of pace and I've been soaking up every artistic experience and new opportunity I can. The best place to keep up on my adventures at the moment is Instagram.


Given all of the changes in my world I've been giving thought to where this blog will go in the future. I'm working on some new things to try out, but in the interim, here are a few items of note from the past six months.

My friends made this and I got to sit in - on my first day back in the city, no less. If you haven't had a chance to be swept away by #BARS Vol. 2 yet, dig in:


It's well-documented how much I love Broadway, and I'll see just about everything, but every once in a while I fall head over heels for a brilliant show. The revival of HAIR ... Hedwig ... but I have never seen a show five (!) times during its run until Falsettos. Thank goodness they filmed this magnificent production; look out for it on PBS this fall. And do yourself a favor by picking up the Broadway Cast Recording (buy from Sh-K-Boom and they'll donate to BC/EFA!). We're lucky to have art like this at a time like this.


Finally, the political situation has been weighing heavily on me as it has on countless others. Please stay informed, stay active, and do what you can with the time and resources you have. Some of my favorite organizations are below, but what matters is finding ways that work for you to show how much you care about our world.
