A little late to the party but Happy #worldpuppetryday2025. My life would be completely different without puppetry. Here's just a few examples of the past year and productions and shows that I performed or directed that used puppetry arts. shout out to designers Kylie Clark and Spencer Townley-Lott

I had a blast performing with the @ypcofnyc at @jalcnyc. There were over 450 children performing and it was so breathtaking to hear the power and beauty of so many voices blending. I had the honor of singing a medley that my friend and cast mate the late Bob McGrath sang with the chorus in 2011.

Congratulations to @paultazewell on his much deserved Oscar for Costume Design for Wicked, and for being the first black man to win in his category. Back in 2003 I had the honor of wearing costumes created by him for Pacific Overtures at the Alliance, Cincinnati Playhouse and North Shore. Congrats!

I had a great time co-hosting @cpc_nyc's 60th Anniversary Gala with my partner in crime @ernied. I was also asked to find performers for the event so brought @aliewoldt , @raymondjlee & Amanda Morton who were wonderful as usual. A great night. Photo credit @albert_cheung

It was a year ago that I had the honor of meeting @billiejeanking and do a little vignette with her. What was amazing was her joy at being on @sesamestreet, and she kept saying "I have wanted to be on this show for the longest time and finally here I am." She is a true hero, role model and icon.

A lot of you don't know this but I am a baker and during the pandemic friends from around the country and I would bake together. It lifted our spirits during tough times. We decided to start it again and here are our first bakes for 2025: The Tom Cruise Coconut Cake and Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls.
