Bat Boy at NYCC was spectacular. Great cast, great changes, highly recommend.

Revisited Dead Outlaw last night and loved every second, what a perfect weird little Brechtian show, if you have the chance to see it before it closes Sunday, do it and grab some of the discounted merch 👀

Three shows this week! My favorite was Dead Outlaw, what a downright phenomenal evening of theatre, but I had a great experience at all three.
Playbill for Glengarry Glen Ross taken from the center mezzanine of the Palace Theatre on Broadway. A solid fuschia projection obscures the stage behind the Playbill. Eurydice program from the Romulus Linney Courtyard Theatre at Signature Theatre. Photo is taken from the mezzanine, behind, out of focus, is the real, white, and pink preshow set that draws from a larger than life tiled bathtub on an angle. Playbill from Dead Outlaw taken from the right mezzanine in the Longacre Theatre. Behind the Playbill is the onstage box for the band, and the visible house of the theatre has a rosy tint created by lights directed away from the stage.

Finally got to see the main cast (minus David today, but thankfully I saw him last round). Tom Francis as Joe may be my favorite performance I've seen since moving to NYC.

If this letter seems cold-hearted it conceals my own distress nonetheless we must end what never started

Visited the National Museum of the American Indian today in NYC, well worth the long subway ride. I wasn't sure if it would remain in its current state under the new administration so I bumped it to the top of my to-see list.
A historic wedding dress on a dressform with numerous fabrics and textures, soft sage and gold with age. Behind it is a museum plaque with a portrait of Inshata-Theumba, an American Indian woman, gazing toward the exhibited dress. The plaque reads "When the Indian, being a man and not a child or thing, or merely an animal, as some of the would-be civilizers have termed him, fights for his property, liberty, and life, they call him a savage. When the first settlers in this country fought for their property, liberty, and lives, they were called heroes. When the Indian in fighting this great nation wins a battle it is called a massacre; when this great nation in fighting the Indian wins, it is called a victory. INSHATA-THEUMBA Excerpt from her 1880 essay 'The Indian Question.'"

How are there three films with Annie and none of them include the song with the most meme-able line?
