As BroadwayWorld sadly reported earlier today, legendary playwright, author, and activist, Larry Kramer passed away this morning. See how the Broadway community is reacting to the passing of this legendary artist.
I had the incredible honor of playing young Larry (Ned) in a reading of Destiny of Me. It was one of the most thrilling evenings of my life. To prepare, I spent a couple of hours at Larry's apartment to discuss his play and to discuss life. I sat there, utterly in awe. (1/3)

He grilled me about my generation. "Why don't you guys do more!? This administration is destroying us. Twitter isn't enough!" I told him my thoughts, but knew they were insufficient. He commanded deep focus and deep respect. (2/3)

He fought so hard for us. Our community owes him everything. Rest in peace, Larry. You deserve peace. You're Saint Larry to me. (3/3)

Larry Kramer was a superhero. A man who never let comfort get in the way of progress. An outspoken advocate, saving countless lives, he led a community to stand up and demand recognition/to be acknowledged as human. Let us keep raising hell against all injustices in his honor.

Don't know a soul who saw or read The Normal Heart and came away unmoved, unchanged. What an extraordinary writer, what a life.
