Rehearsals start today. Everyone else is so excited. I’m like: will there be snacks or do I have to bring my own?

A special shout out to Brendan Cavalier, my friend for a decade. Here in this picture, we were at a New York club, not particularly feeling the club scene (@jess.inthecity knows what I'm talking about). Brendan is an actor and teacher in San Diego. We met at an acting program called #BADA in Oxford, and since then he has acted in like a million plays and has run several theatre companies. I am grateful for our long-distance friendship, and for all the wisdom and knowledge and generosity that Brendan so graciously shares. Thank you for ten years of friendship, Nadnerb. You are one cool dude. #friendship #SanDiego #NewYork #Oxford #mcm #acting #Shakespeare #theatah

Oh man

... I have a complicated history with CATS but I have wanted to see it on Broadway since Annie in Caroline in the City. It was my ~dream~. Then it closed before I ever got to New York, and I saw it in the West End. And it’s a dumb show. 

ALL THAT SAID. My first impulse is ‘I wanna’. But, like, seeing Fun Home and Hamilton too. Oh bother. 

(I am not going to New York anytime soon. Other travel first.)

if you wind up in new york in the next couple of months with extra time and money on your hands, go see the deaf west production of spring awakening (on broadway). I think it’s the best-executed show I’ve seen. the integration of deaf and hearing actors into the piece is not only seamless, it adds so much depth to the story and the characters’ interactions and motivations. the asl choreo is beautiful.

the staging is pretty much perfect, and there’s so much attention to detail. an actress from one of my favorite tv shows is in it. as one of the actors said at the end of the show, in this production actors brought their own traits with them – the characters played by deaf actors were deaf, the short hair of an actor who had recently undergone treatment for breast cancer became a trait of her character, the character played by a woman who uses a wheelchair used a wheelchair.

super cool things from the original play, not just this production of the musical: it clearly shows the necessity of effective sex ed (spoiler alert) the queer kids are still alive at the end.

warning: if you can think of a common trigger, it’s probably in this show. take care of yourself.

tl;dr: the deaf west production of spring awakening is fucking fantastic

I think a lot about The Greeks Part 3: The Gods and the folks from Group 38 and the music, the girl who played Iphigenia holding the fake dead doe and the boy who played Orestes screaming
