It was a GREAT reminder of how many super talented writers we have in this city who care about all kinds of theater.
I braved cold/sleet/hail for festival show. TBH, what I found most thrilling about it was sitting in cluster of awesome critics gathered by @wyszniewski.bsky.social of @everymanagency.bsky.social , among them @helenshaw.bsky.social, @evincentelli.bsky.social, @joeysims.bsky.social, wsj's Isherwood
