Fun times in San Francisco but no seals at Seal Rock.

Bravo @ogunquitplayhouse.bsky.social for this NEW variation of Come From Away! 💙💛 🏳️‍🌈🪓 KT www.broadwayworld.com/maine/articl...

Wonderful to be working in San Francisco this week.

New staging of Come From Away by director Richard J Hinds at Ogunquit Playhouse! 😲 May need a road trip 🤔 www.broadwayworld.com/article/Phot...

April 22 is Earth Day. While I mourn the loss of Pope Francis, I am grateful for his influence on my life, my church and our planet. 10 years ago, Pope Francis wrote and released the "Laudato Si" (Praise Be) encyclical. It called on everyone across the world to care for our common home. #greensky

Happy Easter from my choir after last night’s beautiful Easter Vigil.

Hello publishers @houseofanansi.bsky.social Come From Away is sadly closing at Mirvish but more than 125 new productions now licensed in UK! Let’s sell some #ChannelofPeace books! 🇬🇧

Theatre Review: Come From Away – Showbiz Christchurch delivers a truly uplifting premiere

It’s hard sometimes to be a gay Catholic. In 2017, I found a faith community in NYC which truly welcomes all. I moved from TX to NY for this! I help the environment ministry and sing in the choir! Listen to this one song ❤️🙏🕊️#PalmSunday #Jesuits www.youtube.com/live/GlMZTyW...

As someone who has experienced unprecedented travel trauma on 9/11, this seems like a good resource: www.sleepinginairports.net

Spectacular view of 100,000 people attending the #HandsOff march in NYC

Today is #GoldenRuleDay Listen to my church choir sing "Let us be united" with soloist Maria Brinkman. Much work required for unity, but not impossible. youtu.be/YXejmq5RsoA

Do you know what the Golden Rule is? Watch this video I produced in 2019 for #GoldenRuleDay with actor Chad Kimball, interviewing strangers in Central Park. www.youtube.com/live/qaUgsJ1...

BIG TOBACCO RETURNS— "The Vapor Technology Association, an industry group highly critical of King’s leadership, said in a statement that his removal 'is the first step in correcting the broken mindset that has crippled the FDA and the Center for Tobacco Products over the past four years.'"

Should there be cuts, IMHO Yes. Indiscriminate? Heck no. Brace for disease impacts. www.cnn.com/2025/04/01/h...

You met my 9/11 fellow AF 004 passengers in my memoir “Channel of Peace: Stranded in Gander on 9/11.” They spoke at @payitforward911.bsky.social charity event before Morristown musical performance of Come From Away 💙💛

Meet “real Bob” portrayed in Come From Away musical Friday 5:30pm in Morristown, NJ just prior to the musical. It’s a fundraiser for kindness classroom education for @payitforward911.bsky.social Tickets at njascd.org/north #channelofpeace #neverforget #kindness

New Canadian prime minister reminds Americans how they’ve continually shown up to help Americans (like me on 9/11) Let’s stop the 51st state nonsense and tarrifs! www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

Maybe you've heard my personal 9/11 story, but have you heard Tom McKeon's ("real Bob" in Come From Away). I'm excited to join him at a fundraiser for Pay it Forward 9/11's #11DaysofKindness for Kids program. Prior to musical performance in Morristown, NJ. Buy tickets at njascd.org/north

Feeling despair with all the international chaos? Listen to my choir (Church of St Francis Xavier NYC) sing "Do not fear to hope." Today was a great day to celebrate Pope Francis left the hospital today after his double pneumonia infection. Prayers answered! #lent www.youtube.com/live/qmq-SYB...

Good perspective on US-Canada tensions. So unnecessary our best neighbor and trading partner. www.startribune.com/canadas-minn...

Imagine if airport employees, volunteers across US & Canada join #11DaysofKindness (Sept) for Pay It Forward 9/11. I recently spoke at a symposium in Halifax, Nova Scotia to representatives of more than 100 airports. There was great interest! Thanks to the organizers from ACI/AAAE. #UnityNotTarrifs

Thank you Dolly. #Kindness #passiton #payitforward #Denver

A doctor has been serving one of Baltimore’s poorest neighborhoods for decades — and if his patients can’t pay, that’s OK with him. So when he was diagnosed with cancer, his community rallied to raise $100,000 for his treatments.

I’m so proud of my colleagues at the American Thoracic Society for joining me in the Stand Up for Science rally in 2025. Not easy on a cold and windy day!

“The good thing about science is that it’s true whether or not you believe in it.” —Neil de Grass Tyson. #standupforscience2025

On Friday, we Stand Up for Science in locations Nationwide (& internationally!) to support science as a public good that benefits everyone. Join us! Visit www.standupforscience2025.org for more information & other ways to get involved ☀️

Holding up a Newfoundland-style chocolate bar from @peacebychocolate I’m presenting my 9/11 story and #11DaysofKindness to Airports Council International-North America (ACI-NA) Airport Customer Experience Symposium in Halifax, Nova Scotia. #kindness #unity #neverforget @payitforward911.bsky.social

Whadda y’at? is a common in Newfoundland saying meaning what are you doing? I’m Halifax, Nova Scotia speaking at a North American conference of airport execs about #11daysofkindness (September) & #PayitForward911 efforts. #paynoattentiontothemanbehindthecurtain #worldneedsmorecanada

As the Trump administration and Elon Musk work to dismantle USAID, the government’s lead agency for delivering humanitarian aid for generations, right-wing influencers have flooded the internet with falsehoods about its work, promoting unfounded claims and conspiratorial thinking. nyti.ms/4htWHN0

Tuerff said. "It's frankly despicable to me." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Me on claims Canada is “very abusive” neighbor to US. (DT) “Threatening tariffs, to use as a bargaining chip, is a violation of the golden rule, and it's not the way you treat your best trading partner and ally," Tuerff said. "It's frankly despicable to me." www.msn.com/en-ca/news/c...

Aboslutely nuts. The US Center for Disease Control removed medical information related to #LGBTQ people from their website. Even if you don't care for gay or trans people, why withhold health information. This will only result in public health problems.

For those of us of certain age, we cringe to see this winter, water plane crash again on the Potomac in DC. God speed peace to all families impacted by this tragedy.

While visiting MOMA, I stumbled across a beautiful Japanese geisha posing for a photo in front of an American flag painting. I don’t know why the person wanted this photo (perhaps Lunar New Year?) but the way I see it, how cool to see an image which embraces two different cultures. #hopetelling

Chicago honors Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Ah-mazing! Maureen Horwedel and their mom Kim of Austin are going to Gander! They won the Great Gander Getaway charity auction benefiting @payitforward911.bsky.social Can’t wait for them to see Come From Away-You Are Here musical in the “gayest town in Newfoundland” 😂🏳️‍🌈

Special thanks to Come From Away co-writers Irene Sankoff and David Hein. They couldn't attend our @payitforward911.bsky.social charity event in Austin, so they recorded this very kind video greeting. youtu.be/PcPYbSLFtks #NeverForget #UnitedWeStand #kindness #charity
