I am deeply weary of hearing management speak about the need for workers to “acknowledge the seriousness of the financial circumstances confronting our institution.” That’s literally YOUR job, manager dude.

Apropos of nothing, a sampling from my upcoming script, “Tariffbusters”:
Egon Spengler CPA: There's something very important I forgot to tell you.
Jim Parsley: What?
Egon Spengler CPA: Don't look at your retirement account.

Equity Arc, which trains young musicians of color, was set to play with the US Marine Band — until Trump's anti-DEI order canceled the show.
But Chicago stepped up, and now the students will perform at @chicagosymphony.bsky.social on 4/6. Grab a free ticket and join me in cheering them on. cso.org

Well, that’s an unforced black eye for Hrusa (who I do like) & the company… but then again, AN wouldn’t mind that black eye actually covering the whole face, either.
💥💥💥 From zero to hero: Anna Netrebko will open the Royal Opera's 25/26 season in a new Tosca, as well as singing the role of Turandot. In an exclusive interview as he takes up the job of music director, Jakub Hrusa tells me why she's back.

Next to me at breakfast is a big theatrical producer (I think) from Montreal who flew in, interviewing potential actor. Discussion turned to AI vs. Unions via Adrian Brody controversy in THE BRUTALIST. Her response: “Well it seems like it brought them a ton of PR.”
Reader, I rolled my eyes so hard.

For my first Toronto visit, took a stop by the “Pizza Pizza” to properly honor Scott Pilgrim vs The World, and oh boy, that’s some terrible pizza. Quite befitting of the age of the Sex Bob-Omb ensemble.

Me, board op for a live broadcast originating elsewhere when host says “Florence Price’s ‘The Oak’ has really only been recorded & heard by the public in the past couple of years.”
Me, skeptical and verifying in Discorgs.com that Apo Hsu and the Women’s Philharmonic released it in 2001. 🤦♂️

Juvenal’s “panem et circenses” is on my mind tonight. We’re all full up when it comes to “Circuses”… but I now fear for the continual reduction of “Bread” in its 21st century iteration, and if Juvenal was correct in 100 AD/CE, a possible great awakening?

Was asked a few weeks ago if I could help a friend celebrate birthday today by participating in an 8-player #TwilightImperium4 game. Thought I might have to cancel due to a bout of sickness I’d been fighting, but able to join in for what turned out to be 11 hours of #boardgame strategy/battle. #Lost
