I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood.

My favorite verse (1 Timothy 4:12) in a language from Papua New Guinea. Amazing to see the word translated and taken to every corner of the Earth!

The Most Relatable Character in Musical Theatre

Man in Chair:
Whenever I feel like this -- blue -- I like to listen to my music.
Man in Chair:
What kind of society do we live in that we can't discuss the similarities between musical theatre and pornography?
Man in Chair:
Unless you find dancers intimidating. Which I do, but for reasons which would not be appropriate to this situation.
Man in Chair:
Try to ignore the lyrics.
Man in Chair:
But you don't care because you're going to see a Broadway show!
Man in Chair:
I love this part -- she's having a complete mental breakdown!
Man in Chair:
Oh, I love it so much! I know it's not a perfect show […] but it does what a musical is supposed to do! It takes you to another world and it gives you a little tune to carry in your head for when you’re feeling blue.

Dreaming.

I want to write a show. I want to so bad.

BUT I don’t want to write fluff. I used to think that’s what I wanted, but now I realize I don’t want that.

I don’t want to write about a fable. I don’t want to write about a clumsy prepubescent girl. I don’t want to write about tap dancing ghosts. I don’t want to adapt public domain movies from the 30’s.

I want to write a piece of theatre that moves people. To make them laugh. To make them cry. To inspire.

Really hoping that if Johnny Depp is in fact playing The Baker in the Into the Woods movie, this casting happens. They would be PERFECT.
