Women of Star Trek that as a 40 something man I would happily wear a butlers uniform at minimum wage without benefits for...

Ito Aghayere (as Guinan, Star Trek; Picard)

I would make sure that her personal gym was constantly sparking clean and her record collection was always catalogued properly.

Gia Sandhu (as T'Pring, Star Trek; Strange New Worlds)

I would learn to play Latin guitar for her and I would always have an ice coffee at the ready.

Rosalind Chao (as Prof. Keiko O’Brien, Star Trek; The Next Generation & Star Trek; Deep Space Nine)

I don't even know if she's into plants in real life but whatever ones she has they are gonna be lush, healthy and always have sweet nothings gently spoken to them.

Nana Visitor (as Colonel Kira Nerys, Star Trek Deep Space Nine)

She could send me to run errands for her wearing a variant of her mirror universe outfit and I wouldn't remotely care.

Tawny Newsome (as Lt. Beckett Mariner, Star Trek; Lower Decks, Star Trek; Strange New Worlds)

Honestly? Anything, legal or illegal. If I met her in real life you'd have to give me a few minutes to recover from the ecstatic shock...

I feel like the fact that having her look different doesn't fit perfectly fit into canon about El Aurians distracted from how phenomenal Ito Aghayere was as young Guinan. Easily the best part of Picard season 2

Cyrano De Bergerac Review

(My Personal Review)

Last week, I had the honor of witnessing such a beautiful and rare production of Cyrano De Bergerac at KCRep in Kansas City, Missouri. I was truly blown away by the acting chops, set design, and reimagining of this piece.

It included stars like:

James Chen, notably known for his role in The Mandalorian and Run The World as Cyrano himself.

Christopher Rivas, who play the charming yet lost Christian. Rivas is known for his podcast Rubirosa, his published book Brown Enough and even seen on Call Me Kat as Oscar.

Ito Aghayere, as the lovely, much wanted Roxane, and known for her TV role in Star Trek: Picard.

Director: Nelson T. Eusebio III

Scene Design: Riw Rakkulchon

Costume Design: Paul Kim

Lighting Design: Marie Yokoyama

There were a handful of wonderfully selected actors and actresses from Kansas City, who did an amazing job with fulfilling their many roles as ensemble members.

If I’m being honest, going in I had no idea what to expect. All I knew is that this particular production kept popping up on my many social media feeds and seemed to have quite a bit of diversity in the cast. I just HAD to see it and so the last week of the run, I did just that.

For those of you who don’t know the tale of Cyrano De Bergerac (like me before ever entering those auditorium doors) let me give you a quick rundown:

Cyrano De Bergerac is a classic French play written by Edmond Rostand. It tells the story of Cyrano, a brilliant yet self-conscious poet and swordsman known for his large nose. Cyrano is in love with Roxane, but he lacks the confidence to express his feelings. Instead, he helps a handsome but less eloquent soldier, Christian, woo Roxane by ghostwriting love letters and poetry for him. The play explores themes of love, self-esteem, and honor with a focus on Cyrano’s internal and external battles. It’s a tragic romantic tale filled with wit and poetry.

Deep down, I knew I was about to witness history being made that night. There were a lot of first happening behind the scenes.

1.) This version is described as “freely adapted” by Martin Crimp. Meaning, all of the original elements of Cyrano were kept, but it was updated to reflect the gender and sexuality norms of this current generation.

2.) Director Nelson T Eusebio III is the first Asian-American ever to direct this show (at the professional level).

3.) Typically this production is put on by a less inclusive cast. In fact, this is the first to ever have an Asian-American Cyrano (James Chen)!

From the immersive audience member experience, the passion of the storytelling from the actors and designers…

this production gets a 5/5 stars from me!

I truly feel for those of you who missed out on such a life changing production.

people who don’t have eyebrows usually unsettle me but for whatever reason this is not true of guinan. she rocks it

[dgcatanisiri]

I suggested a while back that, since Ito Aghayere had played young Guinan in Picard, it'd be neat if she could appear in an episode of SNW, just as one of those connections for us the audience to appreciate.

Like she appears in an episode as a bartender on some alien world, whispers a few words of advice (maybe for Uhura, give a spiritual connection and nod to the famous story of a young Whoopi Goldberg running around her house as a girl shouting "there's a black lady on TV and she ain't no maid!"?), gives an enigmatic smile, make no big deal out of "it's Guinan helping the Enterprise crew in the 23rd century!" if you don't recognize her, that kind of thing.

I think I also would like to see her and Pelia have a brief interaction that alludes to them having met and maybe that they owe one another respective favors or something.

Y'know, have a bit of fun with the fact that we have multiple instances of aliens running around on Earth in the pre-warp era.

I'm not much of a fan of Picard, but I thought Ito Aghayere did a wonderful young Guinan.
