Fun Home closed Sunday. This one was kind of a big deal. I’m gonna miss it.
I’m sitting on the ground, leaning on a washing machine, and clutching two clothes hangers. I’m surrounded by 15 baskets of costumes from Fun Home. So so happy, but I was crying before I saw the baskets From Alison Bechdel’s graphic Novel Fun Home. Alison with a mullet tells Bruce he should get a suit with a vest. She’s reading about men’s fashion Professional photo from Fun Home at the Huntington Theatre. Small Alison balances on her dad’s feet and she stretches her arms out to the side. He’s lying on the floor reaching up to her Two delightfully silly women from the crew of Fun Home recreate the moment from the previous photo “playing airplane” while a nervous production stage manager observes

I’ve walked by this salon for years and never noticed they offer all these services
Salon window has decals reading “services: haircut, hair, hair”. There are no other words on the window.

Opening & first 5 show weekend down! Usually the loneliness hits really hard after Desert Bus ends, but I feel so good about my team, this production, and cast. Despite the brutal schedule I’m just feeling really grateful to have such a rewarding gig. Thanks, Fun Home
Stage production of Fun Home: Alison Bechdel (43) kneels with her back to the camera and looks at the rest of the cast in various poses. Center stage her father hands a book to her younger self.

I’m having the best time on Fun Home. My track is very busy as 3 actors play Alison Bechdel while her father Bruce played by only one actor. This is exactly the kind of challenge I love and this cast is wonderful. A very rewarding gig.
A makeshift desk with a lamp under a spotlight in front of a black backdrop and surrounded by discarded sketches Photo of actors on a stage: A father lying on the floor balancing his daughter on his feet and reaching toward her while she reaches out and imagines she’s an airplane. She is full of joy. Behind her, her mother plays piano in a dark parlor. An actor playing Alison Bechdel age 43 watches a scene from her childhood filming an ad for the family business: a funeral home. Two caskets in the background. The song is “Come to the Fun Home” An actor playing Bruce Bechdel the moment before he is killed by a truck. The actor faces away from the camera in a tee shirt and jeans facing the four headlights of the truck and a black background. End of the song “Edges of the World” from Fun Home

From Howl’s Moving Castle when Howl’s hair color changes and he gives up on life. Sophie looking exasperated with the caption “my husband watching me admit I wont finish my DB craft in time”. Howl holds his head in his hands grasping at his hair. The real line “I give up. I see no point in living if I can’t be beautiful” has been altered to say “I give up. I see no point in living if I can’t EARN GOLD DB LOON”

What do you MEAN Massachusetts has already decided against this as our new state flag? How dare you. Justice for podokesaurus holyokensis

My friend’s husband makes all these very cool things! Buy yourself a tiny artwork! Get a little thing in the mail!
A sticker that says “nonbinary bokoblin” featuring a bokoblin with one earring, a denim vest, shorts, a leg tattoo, mismatched converse high tops and tall socks. He has a little Pebblit on a leash An embroidered patch inspired by magic the gathering, but the mana symbols are campfire, bike, tent, coffee, and moon. It says “Magic outside” A bumper sticker which reads “Keep honking! I'm listening to the BBC's 1968 dramatized recording of JRR Tolkien's The Hobbit”

Front Porch Arts Collective is damn important and this is so unsurprising and still so devastating. Over $6000 a month pulled from a group that connected black artists with theatre companies who wanted to do better. They’ve made much of the best theatre i’ve seen in the last few years possible
Waiting to Exhale On Monday, you started to hear it, started to feel it. Arts leaders across the city texting, calling, emailing each other, asking "Anything yet?" "Have you gotten an email?" "Do you still have funding?" It was as if we were standing on a collective front porch watching a tornado blow through our beloved community.

“May you find a love like Paula Plum and Richard Snee”
“May you find a love like Paula Plum & Richard Snee” photo shared by instagram account “onlyinbos”. Two actors stand outside a Sullivan Tire by a crosswalk. Paula Plum looks like an ordinary woman with a visor on sideways. Richard Snee looks like a sad clown. They are legendary actors within the Boston theatre scene.

On the interior wall of a church in the stairwell to the belltower framed by an iron gate and ornate stone columns: “So long as Boston shall Boston be, And her bay-tides rise and fall, Shall freedom stand in the Old South Church And plead for the rights of all. John Greenleaf Whittier”

Triumph of Love was my FOURTEENTH show with Marianna and all I did was chase her around and help her in and out of a costume with 35 closures involved. It’s so rare to get to work with someone this much and I’m glad I got to run a “star dresser” track with someone so delightful.
An actor and I are both wearing black jumpsuits because her costume takes so much work that we both simplified the hell out of our personal clothes. We’re on a stage with a gorgeous painted sky backdrop, and we’re hugging a lemon tree. She’s much better at it than I am.

Sometimes you just need to put on your headlamp and climb into someone’s dress to do 7 of the 35 total closures on her costume.

I can’t stop thinking about how beautiful the Huntington’s production of The Grove is. Playwright Mfoniso Udofia said she was worried it would never be produced because there are so many lines in Ibibio. It closes soon but you can stream it! “It was okay before. It will be okay again”
“The burst of JOY as [the audience] LEAPED to their feet at the end of the performance seemed utterly SPONTANEOUS and utterly WARRANTED.“ The Boston Globe A picture of two actors playing a Nigerian man and his daughter hugging him. Beside this it says “A thing of beauty… it left me weeping tears of joy” - Joyce Kulhawik joyceschoices.com Two actors playing a Nigerian woman and her daughter laughing together on the couch.
