Happy 60th Anniversary to the greatest franchise of all time,and to the handful of folks I’ve met responsible for its greatness, especially David Goodman, who briefly tried to make me canon. #llap #StarTrek @dennehye.bsky.social

Did you know writing a play and describing a play are two different skillsets? IT'S TRUE! Playwright Austin Tichenor talks about the challenge of describing his new play PURITANS ahead of its world premiere this September. HEAR HERE (or wherever you get your podcasts)! @americantheatre.org

Describing The Play - Reduced Shakespeare Company

A ghost story...but not. A time-travel tale...but not. Describing Austin Tichenor's new play Puritans accurately and intriguingly reveals that writing the play and describing the play are two complete...

I would like Democrats to come out and say that anyone receiving assets from this new slush fund, or profiting any of the other corrupt acts from this candidate, will have 100% of their assets seized the first chance we get. Even if they get pardoned.

Any time anyone cynically says there’ll be no consequences for criminal acts, cheating, lying etc, they’re helping enable that lack of consequences. Please don’t do that. I get that it makes you feel smart & practical but it’s not helping. Always call for consequences, whether they’re likely or not.

Taking any solace I can on this Easter Sunday. I'm experimenting with a text-based (and unfortunately AI-assisted) video editing software and judging by all the names I have to fix – Mcduff? Dog Barry? Thae of Kor? – AI hasn't discovered Shakespeare yet.

1980's, Upper West Side. I catch eyes with a man walking towards me & look away, but then I realize who those eyes belong to and look back. Robert Duvall's still looking at me but now he's smiling 'cuz he clocked my recognition. He gives me a little nod – yep, it's me – and we both keep walking.

On Presidents Day we honor George Washington, who in 1972 helped the McMann & Tate ad agency land the Whirlaway account, and Abraham Lincoln, who on Stardate 5906.4 will give his own life to save Captain Kirk from Genghis Khan, Col. Green, Zora and Kahless the Unforgettable.
