Maker of plays, operas and other things. Educator. Meditator. Broken-hearted citizen. Not necessarily in that order.

Making art - and experiencing art made by others - is a form of resistance to the soul-crushing onslaught of authoritarianism.

If you’re near our beloved Baltimore October 3-5, come see Nobody Is Ever Missing, a new opera performed outdoors (Pay What You Can).

Wonderful! Reminds me of protests I’ve seen by artists against the Hungarian regime: creativity in the face of fascism.

A favorite inspiring quote from the Chicken in this article:
“building a culture of discipline and a culture of whimsy”💙

The malicious prosecution of Attorney General Tish James is baseless.

And the indictment is not worth the paper it is written on.

Having spent a years lamenting that the US no longer has state-sponsored repertory theater the way Europe does, I didn’t realize I just had to switch on Fox to find it.

Right you are. “Every accusation is a confession”- the truth of this statement becomes more apparent every day.

So grateful for you, AG James.

Unfortunately, there are far too many horrific moment-defining pictures happening every day. But this is indeed one of them.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Love this image - and, of course, love the great Dr. Jane Goodall💚

Yes, it’s real (recorded by Netflix in March for their new series “Famous Last Words - she knew it wouldn’t be released until after her death). Deep gratitude and more than a few tears for the great Dr. Jane Goodall.

Jane Goodall offers sage advice for the rest of us. #3E

It’s real! I had to check, just because I so very much wanted it to be true:

“A certain kind of shame is useful for anybody who wants to have productive relationships. Shame helps us recognize… that we need to acknowledge and be concerned about how other people feel. This is what we’re referring to as healthy shame, which is quite different from toxic shame.”
