So proud and finding so much joy in @hunter.m_yk ’s success in the world of professional live theatre. Starring in Dear Evan Hanson is realizing a goal that often takes many years, and Hunter has done so in an incredibly short period of time. Congratulations Hunter! Repost from @clearspacetheatrecompany Happy Opening Night to the cast and crew of Dear Evan Hansen. And, congratulations on kicking off Clear Space’s first-ever May repertory season with an almost sold-out run! Still waiting to get tickets? Best availability “will be found” on Saturday Matinees and closing weekend. Grab them here: /upcomingshows/dear-evan-hansen About the Show: Book by Steven Levenson�Music & Lyrics by Benj Pasek & Justin Paul�Directed by Joe Gfaller�Music Directed by David Libby Choreographed by Mark Lenard Even when the dark comes crashing through, when you need a friend to carry you… when you’re broken on the ground… you will be found. In a world where it’s easy to feel invisible, Dear Evan Hansen reminds us of the ecstasy and the agony that comes with finally being seen. When an unexpected lie spirals out of control, Evan - a high schooler with anxiety who is desperate to belong - finds himself at a crossroads. Can he learn to speak up, reach out, and still hold on to himself? Or is believing you can be who you want to be better than just being who you actually are? Where does the act end and the real Evan Hansen begin? For a generation of audiences, this Tony Award winning best musical is more than just great theater - it’s a lifeline, a mirror, and a reminder that none of us are alone.

What a huge project, we can’t wait to see this movie come to fruition Repost from @natalieporretta And that’s a wrap on @peakingmovie 🎥!!! Wow, what a portal this has been. I am so incredibly proud of you, @brentpella for taking an idea and bringing it into reality. You led with so much joy, efficiency, and grace, which didn’t surprise me at all because that’s your baseline… always. 🤍 Thank you from the bottom of my heart to EVERYONE who showed up and added their authentic selves to this project. Every ounce of support, in every form, was so needed and so deeply appreciated. Really special I got to be part of this world too, playing the character Moonflower ✨ so much more to come, this story is just getting started!!

We are so in awe of all you’re doing @im_briana_monet Dear Little Bri, You won’t believe what happened last weekend lol. Ok so remember when you used to make those movies on your barbie camera and set up screenings for the fam to watch, how you would spend all weekend creative directing performances with your cousins, making the programs, invitations, and then setting up the chairs in the living room for everyone to attend before we went back to school on Mondays. Lol I remember how everyone thought it was so funny that whenever they would play “you are not alone” by MJ you would run in the room and cry and no one could ever figure out why 😅lol girl….I think I finally figured it out….. Later in life Gods gonna put you through an isolation period for like 3 years. It’s gonna feel really lonely and intense…but I promise you…..you’ll start to become the best version of yourself… and then out of nowhere you’re gonna start attracting all of the right people. @jerrymadisonjr who’s gonna be the most amazing friend, leader, and accountability partner, @shameikalhsmith who’s gonna be kind of spicy but only because she demands the absolute best out of everyone around her, @leroycook_ who’s gonna have this really crazy laugh but the purest soul and somehow knows everybody in the city 🤣 and they are gonna introduce you to some of the most giving and loving people in the entire universe…. And one day along with all of these people you’re gonna Executive produce and serve as a fiscal sponsor for one of the dopest film festivals this world has ever seen. It’s gonna blow your mind….and you’re gonna be an emotional wreck just like you used to be…. because you’ll finally realize that you have in fact found your way back HOME. Anyway, Just wanted to tap in and let you know…you have a dream but God has a bigger dream for you🤞🏾

When you join our Launch family these friendships spoken about in this reel begin immediately and carry you through your career ❤️ Repost from @acting.mastery • “We all start off sitting in chairs in rooms, waiting with other storytellers. I never looked at it as competition, I wanted everybody to do the best job they could. It becomes an opportunity to become this deep, continued soul connection with poeple that you know and share accumulated experiences with” - Waltin Goggins reflecting on growing alongside other actors @sagaftrafound
