Favorite Stories:

  • Tony Nominee Reactions - I have had the pleasure of covering every Tony Awards season since 2011 and one of my favorite parts is hearing from the nominees just moments after they find out that they ARE nominees.
  • Theatre Queens - When I'm not at a Broadway show, you'll find me at home, catching up on the latest episodes of RuPaul's Drag Race. I've had a blast chatting with many of the queens who call theatre their first love.
  • Broadway Jukebox - I love a good playlist and I find myself making them OFTEN. I've curated over 100 musical theatre playlists for BroadwayWorld (my personal favorite is "Female Anthems of Broadway"). Give them a listen and follow BroadwayWorld on Spotify to find out what I come up with next!
  • Broadway By Design - I created this series after realizing how little information is shared about the theatrical design process and it has become one of my favorite ongoing features.
  • Next On Stage - Working on this project and having the opportunity to spotlight so many talented young people from around the country has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career.

July 21, 2011

Actors Equity President Nick Wyman recently took to Facebook to advocate family Healthcare for actors. Wyman writes: 'If you find twelve weeks of stage work in a year, you qualify for six months coverage under the Equity-League Health Plan; twenty weeks gets you a year's coverage. But even if you are fortunate enough to work 52 weeks in a year, you have to pay for family coverage out of your own pocket. For a spouse and one or more children, that out-of-pocket cost is currently $3381.66 per quarter : over $13,500 a year in after-tax dollars.'
