Are you an actor in the Puget Sound Region and interested in trying for a West Coast Premiere production directed by me? An add'l round of preliminary auditions are being held THIS SUNDAY for The Prince by @theabigailthorn.bsky.social! Read image ALT Text for all details!! #theater #trans #bipoc

--- SYNOPSIS ---
"Have you ever been trapped in a bad relationship, playing a role that doesn't suit you? Jen and Sam are also trapped … in a multiverse of Shakespeare's complete works.

On their quest to discover the doorway back to reality they notice something unusual about Henry 'Hotspur' Percy. Now Jen and Sam must decide; do they risk losing their way home to help someone who might be like them – someone who does not yet know who she truly is?"

--- CASTING ---
• HOTSPUR - A trans woman so deep in the closet she doesn't even know it yet. The eldest child of the Earl of Northumberland and a renowned fighter. Hot-tempered, dealing with a lot of internalized misogyny and unspoken pain, has a deeply buried sweet side.
• SAM - A trans woman from the modern day. Highly strung, nervous, motherly.
• JEN - A baby tran from the modern day. Curious, open-hearted, compassionate.
• NORTHUMBERLAND/KING HENRY IV - A mighty warrior in his day, now reaching his twilight years and looking to secure his legacy. Loving and proud. Doubles with King Henry IV: an old lion backed into a corner. Wrathful. Quick to anger, not a great listener.
• PRINCE HAL - A gay man out to himself - it's an open secret to everyone else. The son of King Henry IV and heir to the throne. Compassionate and clever, not a fighter.
• LADY KATE - A woman ahead of her time. Hotspur's wife. Intelligent, determined, sexually confident.
• WORCESTER - A powerful noble in his own right. The younger brother of Northumberland and uncle to Hotspur. Wise, level-headed, practical.
• DOUGLAS - Warlord leader of the Scottish rebels. Macho and loving it. A bit of a meathead, but charming and witty when he wants to be.

All Rehearsals and Performances will take place in Tacoma, WA. Rehearsals are expected to begin June 30th and will typically run Sun-Thurs. Performance dates are Thursdays thru Sundays beginning September 10th, closing September 27th.

#Earpers will understand that this is the only correct answer to this question.

a tweet from Emily Andras saying "smoking is bad but also now I'm pregnant #wynonnearp #thighholster" with a reply from Kat Barrell saying "Moi aussi #wynonnaearp".

For context, Kat literally told the entire fandom she was actually pregnant and no one caught it.

Desperate for simpler times, I made the school lunch pizza direct from the official 1980’s school lunch cookbook. And you’d better believe I had a small glass of chocolate milk with it.

Picture of a 1/2-size baking sheet with classic rectangular school pizza on it, several pieces are missing.

Just kid things.

White text on a black background that reads:

Parent: My kid has really been into Paw Patrol and K-Pop Demon Hunters. What about yours?

Me: She spent yesterday playing Legend of Zelda while listening to recitations of gothic poetry on an old cassette player. In the evening she performed an interpretive dance to Camille Saint-Saëns Dance Macabre and then we read the next chapter in the Hitchhiker’s Guide.

Parent: …

Me: Oh, but she likes KDH, too.

@murray.senate.gov @repemilyrandall.bsky.social @governorferguson.bsky.social Help doesn't always mean 'pretend to solve the affordability crisis'. Right now it means 'SAVE OUR LIVES AND ABOLISH ICE' it means 'PROTECT US FROM THIS CORRUPT, VIOLENT, EVIL REGIME'!

I normally don’t share photos of my kiddo online. But she’s so heavily made-up here I think it’s safe. Happy Halloween from me and the fam!

Sun, fun and friends 💕

RIP Terence Stamp. Yes he was Zod. But to me he will always be Bernadette (Priscilla QotD) and Ramsley (Haunted Mansion 2003).

Terence Stamp, lovely in white with a tasteful blonde up-do, as Bernadette in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

I’ve learned over years of arts fundraising that there’s never a good time to ask for money. You just gotta bite the bullet. We’re not looking for a single “Angel Donor”, but rather, trying to build from a community of support. The “$25-something” approach isn’t working. Here’s another try #theatre
