If money grew on trees you'd be a farmer not an artist ▪️Playwright, dramaturg, performer, director, art historian
So deeply do not need another rock musical on the directing agenda but Hugo just patiently sat through ninety minutes of me comparing and contrasting various productions of [musical] until finally, gently, going "I think you might just need to direct [musical]"

Putting together a collection:

1. "those are the legal laws"
2. "than John was when John did his baptism thing"
And obviously, 3. "imagine a party with dresses and cake/and singing and dancing and cake"

Happy prolific multi hyphenate spring I signed on to two new projects in the last forty eight hours

Just gotta work with Cesario Tirado-Ortiz (@wowokaythenbruh) for the rest of my life, I'm afraid. So we can add fight choreo and flower fights to shows that do not call for it.

Everyone take pity on my poor roommate and come to this cabaret because it is the only project I've rehearsed in 2025 that has music she can stand (taste) thegreenroom42.venuetix.com/show/details...

This play is now up on my NPX! It's about Aeschylus and death and Jackie O kind of but mostly death and stories and dogs named Max newplayexchange.org/script/32193...

Strong believer that I don't need to know Why Every Side Character Is The Way They Are until it's Jessica Molaskey singing Proof in The Connector and then that information is absolutely vital

Potentially never a worse time in human history to have the initials AI

Two handers are so difficult so obviously I made it even worse by writing an entire full length play that is a single real time conversation between two people 👍

Sometimes you're thirteen and think you've found the best musical ever and when that musical is Falsettos you're pretty much right

I'm being told I shouldn't call play number one Who Do You Think You Are I Am but I think the readers are missing the forest for the trees in forgetting how astronomically worse the other three previous titles were

Remember: SILENCE = CONSENT

DO NOT self-censor

DO NOT comply in advance

ALWAYS speak truth to power

ALWAYS build strength in community

Another world is possible!

Hadestown OBC proshot news is the worst kind of thing to announce for me, a guy still delusionally clinging to the hope of a CSC Assassins transfer/proshot even as the years trickle by

Sorry that every conversation I have right now eventually becomes about Bridges of Madison County. It will happen again.

A musical so good it makes you feel insulted that people dare to write bad musical theatre

And here we are, on the eve of TikTok being banned, sitting in a rehearsal room singing Kesha's TikTok in place of The Lusty Month of May in Keshalot

It's officially an Avery L Ingvarson work in progress play (fifty five pages in, I wrote the line direction "meaning it")

Started my day explaining to the cat that lives in my house that sometimes doing work you love looks a lot like sending many emails and ended my day receiving an email back that made me screech myself hoarse on the sidewalk

Thinking you found The Breakthrough in your play

Feeling the insatiable urge to write twenty thousand words + footnotes about Gustave Courbet and gender

Deciding to finish all my writing projects at once just means that all my usual suspects are getting inundated with emails and partifuls and texts about readings in the next six weeks

Couldn't have nuts for a year and I'm afraid I'm going to be weirdly zealous about peanut butter for the rest of my life as a result

I think I have thought about "endlessly nurtured grievances" every day since The Connector cast recording came out

This covid conscious household has raised a silly spoiled rescue cat who has grown accustomed to sitting on a side table with his face directly over the big air purifier
