Dear me
Remember at drama school
When that director said you didn’t have the voice to do musical theatre
Well here you are in the room
On the stage
Singing Sondheim
And a part of it all
And it feels glorious

Opening Night
Opening night of The Wolves
A thrill to see it all come together
Feeling pride that I played a part in it
The joy of celebrating with a dear friend

The utter thrill

And getting to sing the words and music
Of Stephen Sondheim

The Met
The bliss of hearing
Opera singers
Do their thing
The way a soprano voice
Singing softly
Can carry across the vastness of the room
And pierce your heart

The Play's the Thing
The people wrangling was a bit stressful
But once we were there
I was inspired by the work of the dramaturgy team
The level of detail
The extraordinary care
And the work of the design team
The research and the interpretation and

The Parable of the Sower
The thrill of being at Lincoln center
On a balmy summer night
To catch a new opera
Octavia L Butler’s Parable of the Sower
The thrill of live music
Gorgeously sung and played
The power of a carefully positioned light
The power of bodies in space
The power of storytelling
The power of a narrator who can speak to the audience and comment on the action within and outside the literal and figurative walls
And bring the play
Written thirty years ago and set next year
To the immediacy of today
Post apocalyptic America
And still we sing.

watching sean hayes play rhapsody in blue
I was inspired and moved
an extraordinary play about a difficult man
earlier in the week
I was witness to
james t. lane telling his story
a difficult journey for an extraordinary man
the stories of music and art
finding beauty in the pain
reckoning with life upon this coil
how we fathom our existence
this difficult extraordinary thing.

new york city
tonight I met people
who have traveled from cities and towns
across the united states
and from across united kingdom
and beyond
to make a home (even if temporarily)
in new york city
to make art
on page, on stage, on hair
this is a place that thrives on diversity
a place that literally sings and dances
a place that embraces the different
the weird
the exciting
a place that pulsates with creativity
(and giant rats)
this vibrant difficult wonderful city
and as I went from place to place
with my friend from another world
another lifetime
and navigated the subways
downtown, uptown, across town
I thought about the me from that other world
that other lifetime
that other place
look at us
look at what we’re doing
isn’t it extraordinary?!
