I was informed earlier today that it is #NationalTheaterDay, and, upon further looking into the matter, it actually is #WorldTheatreDay. It got me thinking about how important a role theater has played in my life.pic.twitter.com/bx7pdZED8s

I got to talk with @HollandTaylor — https://www.metroweekly.com/2011/12/the-obsession-of-holland-taylo/ … — and @AnnaDeavereS — https://www.metroweekly.com/2011/01/voice-of-america/ … — and Moises Kaufman — https://www.metroweekly.com/2010/11/storied-lives/ … — and others in my time at @metroweekly. I learned so much.
Of course, there also has been NYC theater (and a trip to Chicago!), which has brought me such unimaginable joy over these past years. I have seen so many amazing shows and met so many unbelievably talented performers (and others in theater). It warms my heart.pic.twitter.com/aQKr2aAsnn
Over the past six months, I’ve been privileged to see still more incredible shows—in DC and NYC—and I just can’t believe how amazing my life is that this world and that all of you who make this world are such a big part of my life.

It’s been 25 years since I saw Phantom. Since then, I have connected with so many people I never would have known—and shared further connections with many people I already knew—and learned new and very real perspectives, as well as almost unimaginable worlds, through theater.
Thank you, my theater friends — and all of the people who bring theater into our world — for all that you do. You’re amazing.

You helped a closeted gay boy find a world of out gay people in the plays he read in high school, a young man figuring out his place a way to see a world beyond his, and a guy who got sober and had his evenings much more open countless hours of art to be seen and enjoyed. Thanks.
Night, all, and let us be good to one another — and ourselves. (And support the arts.)
WOW!
Blessed indeed!
