Kudos to @nytimes on the comic timing of The Daily audio screw up. Michael Barbaro says “please make this compelling because we need an episode” and then… silence… *chefs kiss*

@NoahWPierce @vinn_ayy The key change

Okay just learned that tickling the ivories is a piano reference and has NOTHING to do with making white ppl laugh

@FairWageOnStage After being told a week earlier that I’d now be working for free, I was then locked out of my work email with no warning. 🙃

Good Morning, Arts Workers. The news out of Memphis has got us thinking: What's your best "I got fired" story?

@kbiegel Coffee Viking

@StevenStrafford Feel free to counter offer your teachers with any of the plays on the Expand the Canon list. Actively anti-racist AND excellent plays by women spanning any era. expandthecanon.com

It’s such a missed opportunity not to have this number go to a climate info or grief hotline. ⁦@LastWeekTonight⁩ would have taken that up: can you help out ⁦@dontlookupfilm⁩ ?

This is theraputic, honestly. Shout out to ⁦@StaplesStores⁩ for making me feel less behind.

Honestly offended that this has nothing to do with puns. This will, however, be the title of my comedy special.

@UN_Women Anything from the Expand the Canon list! #expandthecanon expandthecanon.com

What was the best feminist read of 2021? Reply with your recommendation!👇

@shenyc_arts Hey! Would love to chat with you — we’ve got a list of classic plays by women at ExpandTheCanon.com, if regionals need options in place of Shakespeare and Ibsen!

On Monday we will be sending this letter to every regional theater we can find an email address for. You need shows by women? We’ve done the work of finding them for you. No excuses.

@emiliasd Would love to talk to you about @HedgepigEns & Expand the Canon!

there’s a convo about gender equity in theatre happening right now and I kind of wrote my thesis on that, so here are some observations about the tokenization of women in theatre based on production season data from the Theatre Communications Group

@ejwestlake @DRosvally @EarlyModernDoc I love that your example and practice is enduring! Still one of my favorite college classes. @ejwestlake is brilliant

@DRosvally @EarlyModernDoc This still makes me laugh!

Theatre history meme assignment is once again proving to be my very favorite. Grading the first batch that came in this semester and laughing out loud; great levity for a tough semester. I'm happy to expound upon this assignment for the curious.

@danaturg Do you know @HedgepigEns and their #ExpandTheCanon project? Would love to be in contact about how we could keep discussing what legacy is essential! ExpandTheCanon.com for easy reference

Ann and I are getting lots of messages about our article in the current issue of Theatre Topics. Turns out some people are very attached to the theatre history survey and others are not.

@stoolboom @carlygantt This is unfair! I’ll be doing a DSR box step between 1, 2, 4 & 5 plz and thank youuu

Biometric information lasts for life. Even when these surveillance tools are ostensibly used for well-intentioned goals, like aid distribution, the results are far too often tragic.

@NationalTheatre Thrilled Star Drawing! Super curious what happens in the next act if that’s where this is going

Your mood + the last song you listened to is the name of a play based on your life: what's yours?

There is nothing quite like the joy of finding a copy of a play you’ve been searching for. Marking a play from the 1600s “found”? YESSS #ExpandTheCanon #dramaturgy

@Matrimonified Alice Childress, Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, Amelia P. Rosselli, Mae West, Fumiko Enchi, Zora Neale Hurston, Angelina Weld Grimke, Hannah Cowley, Susanna Centlivre, Catherine Boyle #ExpandTheCanon

Name an author you will read anything they publish, no questions asked.

How many times do we have to say it: surveillance is a danger, not safety.
