Hello! Tomorrow (July 9th) is my birthday! To celebrate, I’d really like to fundraise for two charities: local theatres in my home state, and the Actors Fund, which helps actors and technicians who are out of work until at least 2021. Theatre has been a huge part of my life for so long. The arts have helped me and so many others find healing in our lives, and now the arts need our help in return.

If you have another theatre charity in mind and we raise enough money, please let me know! I know Audra McDonald and other Black theatre artists have started an organization, and I’d love to be able to donate to them as well.

To every person who donates $10+ to the Actors Fund (dm me a screenshot) or who Venmos me (dm for my @), I’ll mail them a present.

I’ll send out the donations at the end of the month. The show must go on, and we will make sure the show goes on🖤🖤

I can’t send people the links to sheet music anymore for my mental health so here is the link to my entire score collection! share it around!!

There are 2 people in the world that I know of who can pull off a mustache without looking like a total creeper and they are Mr. Ben Platt and Mr. Gavin Creel

[respectyourtech]

I can’t believe Ben Platt was only 21 when I was a senior in high school. That was the year before DEH. Idk why I thought he was so much older than me? Maybe because he’s amazing???

I love this so much, I’m gonna start saying “nuts” we need to bring it back

The Glee Series finale took place in 2020 where Rachel Berry wins a Tony. There are no Tony Awards in 2020. This is a continuity error literally no-one could have predicted.

Coronavirus sucks. Here are some cool things you can enjoy while stuck at home:

Beloved Broadway Cult Leader Katherine Steele made a video this past Thursday with 50 things you can do (link below)

Some of my favorites of her ideas:

Cast a show/Design a set

Listen to new soundtracks (I’ve added a link to a Spotify playlist)

Watch concert vids and movie musicals

Theatre-themed TV binging

Build/ organize your rep book

Work on your resume

Hold fake auditions via Skype with friends

Here are some of my favorite things to do right now (and some things she recommended that I’m adding to):

JCSS Live! With John Legend and Sara Bareillis will be on CBS tomorrow for Easter

Bootlegs! Bootlegs! Bootlegs! stagedork.com is a great place to start

binging Katherine Steele’s old videos 😉

Binge Fosse/Verdon (available on Hulu)

Listen to Guys Who Like Musicals the podcast

Watch The Shows Must Go On from ALW on YouTube

Record and share a monologue (contemporary monologues aren’t in the public domain and might be taken down for copyright reasons— try Shakespeare, Moliere, Sophocles, etc)

Research forms of theatre you might not know about— i.e. Noh, kabuki, bunraku, Xiangsheng, shadow play, absurdist

Design an imaginary theatre company (this was actually my final assignment from one of my college classes and it was really cool)— pick a company name, a location anywhere in the world, a mission statement, shows to perform, imagine your friends as employees if you’d like, and anything else you’d like to include

Rank your favorite shows March madness style (Katherine Steele also did this one). I did this and it was like Sophie’s Choice, but it was a lot of fun

Cry over the loss of Beetlejuice

Design show merch! I like to buy a ton of theatre shirts and stickers off Redbubble

Plays I recommend: “Indecent” by Paula Vogel, “Hir” by Taylor Mac, “The Importance of Being Ernest” by Oscar Wilde, any play written by Tennessee Williams, “Waiting for Godot” by Samuel Beckett, and “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf” by Edward Albee

Watch Crash Course Theater and Drama

Reenact scenes with pets. My dogs have a lot of clothes so I dressed them up like Danny and Sandy and we jammed to Summer Nights. Sad? Maybe. Does it take up time? Yes.

Make some TikToks 🤷🏻‍♀️

If you have any other ways you like to occupy your time, let us know!

Stay safe, stay home, love one another 💕
