“I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Ms. Luker perform on many occasions. Each time, she cemented the fact in my head that I was watching one of the finest vocalists of my lifetime.”

“The reality is that the theatre community is facing a huge dichotomy in mindset. Some argue that this is a time to be hyper-vigilant and exist in a state of manic productivity. Then, there is the polar opposite view – that we should be doing nothing. What is the point of producing theatre coldly and impersonally, over a computer screen? What is the logic of preparing for auditions that won’t happen? Neither of these views serve us as artists. In fact, they are destroying us.”

“Last week, the Gregory Brothers went viral for their video mocking Donald Trump using music from ‘RENT’. However, it has been discovered that two of their members attend an anti-LGBTQIA+ church. And their explanation raises more questions than it answers.”

“From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for making this semester the best that you could have possibly made it. Logging on every day was that much easier because you were on the other side of the screen ready to welcome us.”

“While the Save Our Stages Act certainly provides relief to commercial theatre venues, it excludes community theatres that desperately need aid as well. Without eligibility in future legislation, tens of thousands of these stages will remain dark for good.”

“Much of the drama in the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers film will be based on rumors or completely made up. So the creative teams will have to come up with something intriguing for viewers, meanwhile, the histories of Black performers in the Golden Age of Hollywood haven’t been highlighted nearly enough. One such case is The Nicholas Brothers.”

“Last month, it was announced that the filmed stage production of Hamilton will be eligible for Golden Globe Award nominations. With the nominations set to be announced on February 3rd, potential nods for the Lin-Manuel Miranda blockbuster could kick open the door for more potential Broadway stage productions to be filmed.”

“I’ve seen that some BFA programs will be holding live auditions via virtual methods such as Zoom, Skype, and Google Meet. I think this is a mistake. There are too many variables when it comes to live auditions over these online meeting services that could hinder a student’s audition. What colleges should be doing is letting students submit pre-recorded self-taped auditions.”

“Who would have thought that my 9 to 5 administrator job would teach me how to advance as an artist? But here we are.”

“We love to play fun bad characters because they give us leave to do and say things we never would in reality, but we play truly evil characters because they allow us to peer into parts of ourselves that we otherwise keep hidden from view.”

“Recently it was brought to my attention that a high school in FL had performed Miss Saigon last year with a practically all-white cast. While this would make any Asian performer raise an eyebrow and perhaps outrage more than a few parents, it might surprise them to know that not only is Miss Saigon available to schools but that the race descriptions of its characters are completely erased for the school edition.”
