Nothing makes me feel older than the fact that these scoops cost .15, .30 and .40 when I was a kid. What a blow to childhood nostalgia.

Today was a great day to restart my New Yorker subscription. This piece was absolutely wild in the best way, mouth agape multiple times. In a world where publicists guard their clients with ferocity, Patti Lupone doesn't give a shit and I'm here for it. Absolutely wonderful piece.

#TheCake by Bekah Brunstetter has some issues, but it's a very compelling, nuanced look at a hot-button issue. I enjoyed the show, with some sweet performances.

A really shitty update tonight. This is running on a separate track from today’s budget proposal to eliminate the NEA altogether; these terrible rescissions of funds appear to envision an NEA that will live on, but in a hugely reduced and compromised form.

"I've been wanting to meet you for a long time," Jose Luis Valenzuela told me, and I felt the same way. He and Evelina Fernandez are industry titans. Asked for a selfie, and then he asked for one with his phone. Excited to connect with them and their company. #LatinoTheaterCompany #SouthCoastRep

You always know that you're interviewing a pretty big theater person when they say things like, "Yeah, I was hanging out with Hal and then he said we gotta call Steve."

I am smitten by Lloyd Suh and his chronicling of Asian immigrant history in this country. #TheHeartSellers at TheatreWorks is wonderful, powerful. Great two-hander that's full of warmth, heart, and heartbreak. My review for @mercurynews.com #hellatheatre www.mercurynews.com/2025/04/14/r...
