If you missed ON THE LINE at the Hollywood Fringe, you can see it next month at Theatre 68 in NoHo! Pay-What-You-Can tix available til the end of July, only 2 performances! theatre68artsfestival.stagey.net/projects/15022
One of my Hollywood Fringe shows is a Larchmont Buzz Pick of the Week! That’s kinda cool!! 😍 Read it here: larchmontbuzz.com/theater/a-pe...
I’m playing two very different gals at the Hollywood Fringe! Amy is an insomniac in a mental hospital emoting via 90s songs, while Hannah is living through a psychological thriller in the 80s. Both tackle feminism in overt & subtle ways, though, so they feel like 2 sides of the same coin for me.
The NYC theatre scene has one of their biggest community award shows tonight! So I felt like posting the awesome slogan to this year’s Hollywood Fringe Festival.
I am officially a historian. A MASTER of Musical Theatre History. Next stop PhD… 😉
I don’t think anyone cares on bluesky but I’m in TWO shows at the Hollywood Fringe Festival this summer. One is an 80s psychological thriller, the other is a 90s jukebox cabaret. You’ll love ‘em! Tix go on sale today, use code “earlybird” for a discount! You can find us at hollywoodfringe.org ❤️
35 years ago today The Secret Garden opened on Broadway! I have about 140 pages written on the subject and so many folders of research, oral histories, and articles. Truly I could go on and on about this show and the ladies who created musicals in the first 90 years of the medium’s existence.
My husband works at Descanso Gardens and one of his regulars also knows @jenelleriley.bsky.social. So, we saw his show at the Largo tonight, doing some long form hilarious improv with his friends! Maybe this guy’ll make it big someday…
@jenelleriley.bsky.social and I love traaaaaaaaaains! @descansogardens.bsky.social
For more details, here is my Abstract. If you wanna read the whole ding-dang thing, just let me know (it's long and academic, but it's good, especially if you like feminist Broadway history).
I spent two years working on my thesis entitled "Come to My Garden: A History of The Secret Garden and Women Creatives on Broadway." I combed through decades worth of books, reviews, articles, essays, interviews, podcasts, and blog posts…
RIP to our king, Val Kilmer, who played Moses in two different musicals. One of them very bad.
It’s Passover and Easter weekend! Which means it’s time for Stephen Schwartz musicals.
Backyard passerby kitty let me get pretty close today. She stalked some doves, left the squirrels alone, ate some turkey I threw at her, meowed when I came too close. We’re making progress! 🐈⬛
Wunmi Mosaku continues to be the most gorgeous movie star in the whole world. That is all.
Saw Six: The Musical tonight for the first time. I want you to guess my thoughts on it. Go on. If you know me this should be easy.
Ilia Malinin’s exhibition skate: the pressure of fame and the fear of failure. Mikhail Shaidorov’s exhibition skate: KUNG FU PANDA FIGHTS DEADPOOL.
I love this gold medal winning Oakland girl with the messy ponytail & funky piercings. Alysa Liu is the perfect example of why every 18-20 year old needs to have those “discover thyself” years.
Sweeney Todd in La Mirada is really good! Literal Broadway stars in the leads and my FORMER STUDENT WAS ANTHONY. Cuz I’m at that phase of life now 🤪 he was so amazing and I’m so proud. 🥹
Happy Love Day! I’ll go dismantle Love Land 🐻❄️🎶love will keep us together🎶🐻
You can’t tell me the French rhythm dance figure skaters aren’t the villains in a 90s Olympics movie. #olympics
So I know the USA ice dancers Zingas and Kolesnik are married, but after watching their dance, it’s clear that they fuuuuuuuuck. #olympics
Just saw this in a bathroom in Big Bear. It reminded me that we used to be a proper country. Our mice were accessorized!
