I have canceled my Disney+ and Hulu membership. We must stand up for everyone's first amendment rights. The FCC must not use its power to threaten those who criticize the government. Silencing comedy is no joke.

As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.

10 years ago today was the world premiere of our musical "Triangle" at TheatreWorks Silicon Valley. Unbelievable. This video is such a beautiful reminder of the work, talent, and joy that went into making a show that is, in so many ways, our hearts laid out on the stage. youtu.be/r4lxrWD4x6s
