The @glaad Media Awards were last night and a @sesamestreet episode that I had the honor of directing was nominated for Outstanding Children's Programming. We did not come home with the prize but so thankful to be nominated and recognized by this amazing organization. Have a great weekend all.

A little late to the party but Happy #worldpuppetryday2025. My life would be completely different without puppetry. Here's just a few examples of the past year and productions and shows that I performed or directed that used puppetry arts. shout out to designers Kylie Clark and Spencer Townley-Lott

I had a blast performing with the @ypcofnyc at @jalcnyc. There were over 450 children performing and it was so breathtaking to hear the power and beauty of so many voices blending. I had the honor of singing a medley that my friend and cast mate the late Bob McGrath sang with the chorus in 2011.

Congratulations to @paultazewell on his much deserved Oscar for Costume Design for Wicked, and for being the first black man to win in his category. Back in 2003 I had the honor of wearing costumes created by him for Pacific Overtures at the Alliance, Cincinnati Playhouse and North Shore. Congrats!

It was a year ago that I had the honor of meeting @billiejeanking and do a little vignette with her. What was amazing was her joy at being on @sesamestreet, and she kept saying "I have wanted to be on this show for the longest time and finally here I am." She is a true hero, role model and icon.

A lot of you don't know this but I am a baker and during the pandemic friends from around the country and I would bake together. It lifted our spirits during tough times. We decided to start it again and here are our first bakes for 2025: The Tom Cruise Coconut Cake and Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls.

It's been several years since I performed in a Broadway show, but I was so grateful to have a reunion with a lot of of my AANHPI Broadway family over the weekend. We will always be family and it did my heart good.
