I was supposed to post theatre news today, but I am so angry and hurt about the Eric Garner decision that I can hardly type. When. Will. It. End. I'm feeling the need to create something, some positive action for change. I'm not sure what yet, but let's make something together. "The opposite of war [...]

Today would have been my Nana's 80th birthday. We might have lost her this June, but we feel her looking down on us every day. I've felt her presence sitting in the courtyard at my Palo Alto office building and eating Thanksgiving dinner in St. Louis. Sometimes she appears as a little hummingbird; my mom believes [...]
The Revolution Will Not Be Televised
First of all, I want to express how much anger and pain I feel for the people of Ferguson, MO. In the words of Martin Luther King, Jr., "A riot is the voice of the unheard." Everyone should follow this tumblr for up to the minute updates and ways to help. And don't forget that [...]
Happy Monday! I totally forgot to post my Sunday reads so I'll post them now! This comprehensive guide to good journalism about Ferguson, Missouri. Important to me because my family is from St. Louis and important in general because racism, classism, and police brutality should matter to everyone. And when we are inundated with a [...]
What’s Goin’ On?
Hi everyone! I know it's been a while since I've posted, I've just gotten so busy. I'm coming up with a game plan to post more often, and plan on following a more structured approach to my posts. I'm going to start regularly posting a Monday musing update (similar to the one you're reading now) [...]
Life is a Cabaret
Happy Wednesday everyone! I'm feeling good this week because I had one of those weekends that reminded me of why I'm doing what I'm doing, and encouraged me to re-focus on my goals with fresh eyes. Plus, it's a new month (which means we have long leads and pitches and press releases to go out [...]
Oregon Shakespeare Festival!
Last weekend, I went on a road trip to Ashland, Oregon with my dad for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Ashland is this little town juuuust north of the California-Oregon border. It's nestled in a mountain valley, and is the kind of place that smells of pine trees, and as one motel put it, "toasty fires." Its [...]
When You’re Home
This past weekend, I hopped on a plane and hung out with my family in St. Louis for my Granny's birthday. It is always so wonderful to back home, enveloped in the love and nostalgia of the place I grew up in. Whenever I come to St. Louis, I feel like Dorothy again. I spend [...]
On Trying to be a Real, Grown-up, Functioning Adult
After graduating college back in May, I've been trying really hard to be a grown-up. Every fiber of my artsy, creative soul rebels against things like "budgeting" and "sleep schedules" and "dress pants." However, day-by-day I am mastering the art of being a competent, responsible, grown-up human. I cook for myself on a regular basis, [...]
Weekend Update
I have more than usual to tell you this week. First of all, it was my sister's birthday on Wednesday, so you should probably go check out her YouTube channel. And happy fall! I for one will be making lots of pumpkin-y things and watching Halloween movies (even though its 3000 degrees in the Bay Area). [...]
