I want to work with more trans theatremakers.

likely to come to you? As so many other writers, theatremakers, songwriters have privately said to me? We can have each others backs. 2+2=4. I'll be as kind as I want to be to those who scream at me that 2+2=5; that's their right. It's only because that equation is becoming (11)

So, what can we do for all of us adrift mid-career theatremakers? Maybe all of this is a me problem and I’m just a cynical, jaded curmudgeon in a bad mood. But it sure would be nice to have a mentor or mentors I could talk to about navigating this! /end

I have so many feelings about Broadway’s return that I couldn’t sort out myself. So I listened to the wisdom of theatremakers who are making it possible for my latest feature.

So which shows should you prepare to say a final farewell to? Here’s a look at the TV comedies and dramas that have come to an end or are ending soon.

I love you, trans theatremakers.

A baby indie theatre rant:
If you are a theatremaker Gen X and older, and you genuinely believe your early experience is the same as young indie theatremakers now, you need to educate yourself.

I'm so tired of this obliviousness.
