For much of political media, the objective is no longer about informing voters. It's solely about the horse race. It's about clicks and views and scoops and book deals and if there's any room left after that, keeping the public contextualized is a neat little bonus.
New lyric video! Opened up the vaults for our original demo of “Uncharted Territory” from STRING, sung by the amazing Heidi Blickenstaff. youtube.com/watch?v=LKxnvUBI…

My parents loved Angela Lansbury and they passed that appreciation down to me. When I was the theater reporter at the NYT, an interview I did with her brought things full circle. I wrote about her, and my parents, this weekend for @nytopinion nytimes.com/2022/10/15/opini…
Was so stoked to write a song for the release of Joe Meno’s brilliant new novel, and for the incredible @Margo_Seibert to record it! Thank you @AkashicBooks!

Overheard in New York:
"Look, sometimes people born male grow up and realise they identify as female. Sometimes my E train identifies as an F train. I just get off at Bryant Park and walk. I don't become a fascist over it."

OMG @CommPlayers, thank you for the follow and break a leg with Ordinary Days! I ~just~ watched #MindOverMurder and you're incredible! Seriously, your work on that play renewed my faith in theater and reminded me why we have to keep telling stories to one another live onstage.
Theater friends, if you haven't watched the #MindOverMurder @HBO documentary featuring these folks, you must! americantheatre.org/2022/07/…
