Wishing the ganze mishbucha a meaningful Yom Kippur and an easy fast. I’m sorry for a lot of things, but not everything. G’mar Chatimah Tova. Let’s hope we are sealed for a better year ahead. Except Nazis. Fuck off, Nazis.

“I believe in the immortality of the Theater, it is a most joyous place to hide, for all those who have secretly put their childhood in their pockets and run off and away with it, to play on to the end of their days.” ~ Max Reinhardt. His birthday.

I am a little cranky to be sure, but I am tired of old men telling me about my field. I know a lot of them are in charge. Were in charge. Are for some reason thinking the world needs them to take 2 years to no longer be in charge.

I think a lot about all the late night conversations I had with my friends when I was in my intern years and the early career years. About how awful everything was and how all these theaters treated us so badly and how we would do better when we were in charge. So, for those of us that got to be in charge - please remember those conversations. Do the things we said we’d do. Especially now that everything has fallen apart, there are no excuses.

I'm packing up to leave after a lovely weekend at the O'Neill Playwrights Conference. I haven't been back here in many years, but for a while I was here almost every summer. I was at the beach today where I came up with my Dramaturg as Lifeguard metaphor.

But it's no use, says he. Force, hatred, history, all that. That's not life for men and women, insult and hatred. And everybody knows that it's the very opposite of that that is really life. ~ James Joyce, Ulysses. Happy Bloomsday.

I've abandoned many essays over the last few years. About comedy and audiences and the scary state of theater, regional theater in particular. I care about New York in an abstract way, and I've been proud when shows I've worked on have made it there, because then, indeed, they can make it anywhere.

8.) The sustained No Kings protests also offer UNDENIABLE EVIDENCE of the public's disgust for the administration, which is being echoed in *international protests* against US imperialism but *also* against fascist and corrupt rightwing nationalists in other countries.

Today while talking about theater budgets, I said that I wished we talked less about what things cost and more about what they’re worth.

And we haven’t even started to feel the impact of the loss of KCACTF. (Yes, the festival continues, but KC was the one who funded all the internships and fellowships.) I would not have had the career I’ve had without that program and I know that that’s true for many others as well.

Ok. A few weeks ago, I was invited to write an essay about dramaturgy and theater and life and all that. I decided to write a kind of fun (I hope) look at what my career has been. The word limit was very low and I wound up cutting a lot about internships and mentorship.
