Happy that today is the first day of rehearsals for my angry angry furious play BUSINESS IDEAS at @alliancetheatre in beautiful Atlanta Georgia where it won the 2024 Kendeda Award and very happy that it has cool sets designed by @chikashimizu and is directed by @matttorney and stars @devonhales.jpg and @pokopac among other luminaries and furthermore I’m happy and grateful to remember this whacky script was originally developed sO MaNy YeArS aGo @clubbedthumb and @maboumines and @ucsdtheatreanddance the moral of the story is even the weirdest .pdf document can someday become a happy moment if given water and sunlight

I am very happy that songs from my show School Pictures are featured on this week’s episode of This American Life! I talked to Ira Glass on the phone he sounded the same 🐣🐣🐣
EXTENDED THRU DEC 16! Four more performances have been added for “School Pictures” – a “gentle, generous, curious, complicated” Best of 2023 (@vulture ) solo show. Catch it before it sells out (again)!
Art cannot be ranked & and artists are not competing they are working together to heal our silly little culture BUT it’s still veryyyy nice @vulturemag included me in best theater of 2023 💙
