The theater district is bustling with taxis cruising 45th Street hoping for post-theater fares on November 8, 1941. Claudia was playing at the Booth Theater. Other theaters visible in the background include the Plymouth and the Royale.

Happy Thursday ! Pattye was awesome as the heroine Mae in the Maria Irene Fornes play “Mud” performed at The Theater for the New City, in NYC, NY. The play had its New York premiere in November of 1983. Is a play about rural poverty, humanity’s darker side, human redemption, and how Mae tries to rise about the misery that surrounds her; Patricia was 32 at the time- the play won an OBIE award for Best New Play in 1984.

michaela mabinty deprince (1995-2024)

🩰˚✧₊⁎

today, september 13th, 2024, the ballet world lost an extraordinary dancer and woman.

michaela mabinty deprince was born on january 6th, 1995, as mabinty bangura, in sierra-leone. she was orphaned, her parents passing to due to both direct and indirect causes of the civil war in her home country. she was demonized by her caretakers for her vitiligo, being called a “devil’s child”, and suffering from other forms of neglect and abuse. in 1999, deprince was adopted by an american couple along with another girl, and they were taken to new jersey, united states of america.

her hopes of becoming a ballerina had been planted when she found a ballerina on a magazine cover in her home country. she didn’t know of ballet at the time, but treasured the picture and dreamed of dancing. this dream blossomed into truth when she moved to the states, being put into ballet lessons soon after her arrival. deprince was a four-time participant in youth america grand prix, one of the largest ballet competitions in the united states. she was awarded a scholarship to study at the jaqueline kennedy onassis school of ballet, the associate school of american ballet theatre.

despite facing racial discrimination and other hardships in and out of the industry, deprince persisted in her dream of becoming a professional ballet dancer. in 2012, at the age of 16, she became the youngest member of dance theatre of harlem, and the next year, she joined the junior company of the dutch national ballet. she soon rose through the ranks, joining the main company and attaining the rank of soloist. she was the first dancer of african origin to ever join the company, and a shining advocate and role model for black women in ballet.

her other accomplishments include being an ambassador for war child holland, a dutch organization working to improve the wellbeing and resilience of children directly affected by war. she visited uganda and lebanon through the organization. she also appeared in beyoncé’s 2016 music video for ‘freedom’.

she will dance among all the stars in the sky. rest in peace beautiful michaela mabinty, you are already so missed. ♡

obviously when you look at eric bogosian's wikipedia page it's like "wow this man has truly lived a life," but the funniest examples of this from the iwtv press tour are:

a) the interview where he talks about young daniel molloy's look being modeled off Lou Reed, in a way that strongly suggests he was casual acquaintances with Lou Reed irl:

and b) the interview where he mentions correcting the 1970s drug paraphernalia props because louis' backgammon box didn't include the right kind of pipe:

current dilemma: very badly wanna go to new york in october for one last Sleep No More (unless they extend it again, lol) but cannot really justify the $$$ of 2 nights in a hotel

in theory I could just stay overnight but if I’m going all that way I wanna do Life & Trust too, so that means 2 nights

I was hoping going midweek would make it semi-affordable but. nah

In 1956, movie theaters still had splendidly outfitted ushers to guide moviegoers to their seats. Behind this one is a poster for Oklahoma!.

So I went to the museum of broadway recently, and they had a deck of cards with shows on them. One of them was falsettos.

but look at whizzer's face.

LOOK AT WHIZZER'S FACE.
