Gonna start posting some of my self-tapes/theater stuff on this account since I don’t use it for anything else lol. Starting with Posthumus’s Act 2, Scene 5 monologue from Cymbeline
Come see an immersive production of Chekhov’s classic—be transported to Sorin’s (me) estate in 1895 Russia (Cape Cod) for a timeless tale of struggling artists finding their niche, unrequited love, unfulfilled passions, and….a dead ass* bird, you know what I mean? Get your tickets now and I hope to see you there!
*not to be mistaken with deadass, New Yorkers 😒
Feelin’ extra black during this ~extended Black History month~? Concerned you haven’t done the melanin in you justice these past 28 days? Has this month filled you with either a sense of #blapathy or #blexcellence? A lil of both? Curious as to what the FUCK I’m talking about?? Come on out to Joe’s Pub TOMORROW, 2/29 @ 11:30pm and behold Black Issues Issues, the most #lit celebration/discussion/cathartic end to the best 😏 (and shortest 😒) month of the year! We may not have race figured out, but dammit we gon’ talk about it! 😤😤 and have a good time doin it!! 🕺🏾🕺🏻💃🏿💃🏼Bring your open hearts and minds, your (fully charged!) cellphones, and bring your BLACKNESS—get that shape up , iron that dashiki, brush up on some Martin or The Boondocks (just the first three seasons though)—do what you gotta DO!
.
And one last reminder: don’t forget to remove those bonnets so we can behold those beautiful natural hairstyles! Gonna keep mine on cuz I missed my retwist appointment, so please let me live vicariously through you(r locs) 😩

Happy 2 months to my pretty lil girl and my handsome big boy!! To think @calabreezey and I thought that they would hate us forever the day we brought them home and look at them now...Cordelia screams like a goddamn human baby for breakfast while Guapo head butts our hands until we wake up for #buttscritches and I couldn't be happier with our lil weirdos! 💜@guapo.and.cordelia
Went all the way to Jersey (lol) to see this lil baby and she's so small that she was dangling from my septum piercing and didn't rip it out of my face 🙂
Someone made the mistake of giving my unable-to-write-in-a-straight-line, terrible handwriting, clearly recent college grad ass the chalk to write today's message on the board at work! Come thru to Lilly's (72nd btwn Columbus and Central Park W) to see it (and me) in person 😏
"Mark Hawkins with a very expressive face" is how I was described in the first review and I couldn't be more honored. Our first seven performances have been amazing AND we just extended another week to 6/10, so you should probably roll through and see what all the hype is about 😏 #tartuffe #shakespearetheatreofnj @shakespeare_nj Get your tickets at shakespearenj.org
