Anybody else getting spam texts for the 646 area code, or am I the only lucky sumbitch?

a big reason companies are caving this hard is that they're banking on hunkering down for the next 3.5 years and then coasting by when the dust settles Democrats need to make it very clear that there will be future consequences for defecting in this prisoner's dilemma

Even in this tiny cameo, his final screen appearance, the great Redford couldn’t resist doing a double-take, of which, as he was in so many things, the absolute master. youtu.be/-Dj3n07rbRk?...

Imagine hating me & I’m just sitting here hoping everyone gets healthcare, a hot meal & an education. I’m a monster

Thanks for the follow…?

RFKjr sounds like Katherine Hepburn reading from the Antivaxer's Bible while felating a wet kazoo in the back of a pick-up driving on two flats over a cobblestone road

Having a blast directing "William Shakespeare's Long Lost First Play (abridged)" with a cast of 7 (!) at Creighton University in Omaha! Go...CUSS!!* *Creighton University Shakespeare Society

“Cupid is no longer an archer; his glory shall be ours, for we are the only love-gods.” MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING #ShakespeareSunday

On the blog, @austintichenor.bsky.social rereads Robert B. Parker's Spenser novels - "with an s like the English poet" - and discovers that the hard-boiled Boston detective's literary roots go even deeper than remembered. www.folger.edu/blogs/shakes...

“The fire and cracks Of sulfurous roaring the most mighty Neptune Seem to besiege, and make his bold waves tremble, Yea, his dread trident shake.” Ariel, THE TEMPEST #ShakespeareSunday

Huge fan, and now I’m kicking myself I never put this together.

Forgot I had this. Can’t wait to see how Big Blue smashes Zack Snyder.

Our son’s getting married this fall and my wife Dee, a student of both politics and Project Runway, observed that wedding styles (like so much else) have returned us to the 1930s. Very fascist-forward.

Anyone who’s heard my RSC songs knows how influential Tom Lehrer was to me. My high school senior quote from his “Folk Song Army” recognized that Art – Comedy especially – is an act of resistance. Grateful to my parents for this album and proud to have passed the #LehrerLove on to my kids.

Very excited that @atlshakespeareco.bsky.social is producing LONG LOST SHAKES next month. Please go see it and tell me how it is! www.broadwayworld.com/atlanta/arti...

I watched "Tromeo and Juliet" so you don't have to for @folger.edu. www.folger.edu/blogs/shakes...

CBS cancelling Colbert? Cowardly bullshit. CBS cancelling Colbert the same week as the new season of "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" drops on Paramount+? EVEN WORSE.

"Make a good, human thing and people will bend over backwards to support you"

"Serious actors. No director. One rehearsal. In a bar." That's the Back Room Shakespeare Project's motto and it makes for a unique relationship between actor and audience that @austintichenor.bsky.social writes enhances the power of Shakespeare's work. Now on our blog: www.folger.edu/blogs/shakes...

Oh look. As of today, I've now been performing with @reduced.bsky.social over half my life. Hey ho.

Loved @questlove.bsky.social’s film SLY LIVES, especially when Shakespeare holds forth about THE BURDEN OF BLACK GENIUS. Bravo.

Me too, buddy! Come on over anytime!

This grim-visaged warrior actually got a few laughs in last Monday's CORIOLANUS by the Back Room Shakespeare Project, cut to a fleet & fierce 85 minutes by Sam Pearson (bloody C himself) and performed in Chicago's tiny Hideout tavern. #TheFaultDearBrutusIsNotInOurBars

Happy #Juneteenth! I first learned about Crispus Attucks, Mary McLeod Bethune, Shakespearean actor Ira Aldridge & many others in BLACK AND WHITE by "Wee Pals" cartoonist Morrie Turner. Published 1969 by Troubador Press (which my dad joined in the 70s), I have 1 copy left. Somebody publish it again!

Lovely to see THE WILDES by @louisbayard.bsky.social so prominently displayed in my local library, where it was recently (and unsurprisingly) a very popular book club pick!

Like most actors, I just want the gig. But I hope I'd have the self-respect to not accept anything produced by JK Fucking Rowling.

Happy closing to the company of FOOL @7agestheatricals.bsky.social! @theauthorguy.bsky.social and I were comically trepidatious then authentically delighted, and nothing's more valuable to a playwright than seeing the script on its feet in front of an audience. Many thanks, you wonders!

Happy Pride Month from Javier & Samuel (and Felicity)!

Audiences are loving FOOL! Even Sheboygan's poet laureate (apparently a real thing!) has weighed in. 8 performances of the @7agestheatricals.bsky.social production left, and I'll be there on June 7 with @theauthorguy.bsky.social himself. I hope you can see it!

Lost this stylin' lady 15 years ago today. Miss you, mom.

Aww…happy 25th anniversary to us!

Very excited for tonight's opening of my adaptation of @theauthorguy.bsky.social's FOOL by @7agestheatricals.bsky.social in beautiful downtown Sheboygan WI. 8 actors play dozens of roles and I'll be there this weekend and again on June 7; join me if you can!

Weird that my examination of Orson Welles’s “messy & imperfect” CHIMES AT MIDNIGHT for @folger.edu dropped the same day George Wendt died. I don’t think George had the ego to play Sir John Falstaff…but I’d have loved to see him try. www.folger.edu/blogs/shakes...

“George Wendt was always great. Norm let us see it.” Excellent remembrance from @mattzollerseitz.bsky.social. www.vulture.com/article/geor....

ST. ELSEWHERE & CHEERS were instrumental in my choosing Boston for grad school, a fact I was privileged to share with George Wendt on multiple occasions. Privileged to have been his friend and bummed I never got to see his Falstaff. @americantheatre.org www.reducedshakespeare.com/2015/09/epis...

Love driving through red states because, like life itself, gas is cheap there too.

They put this squirrel in my hotel room in Boulder to guard the mini bar snacks. I feel seen!

I’ve guested on CHICAGO MED; looking forward to guesting on Dick Wolf’s next show CHICAGO POPE.

Florence Pugh, my favorite onscreen Cordelia, is the absolute heart and soul of THUNDERBOLTS*. I loved it and (especially) her.

Visited Sheboygan and the poster confirms it — FOOL is happening! Weekends May 23-June 8 by @7agestheatricals.bsky.social and both @theauthorguy.bsky.social will be there on June 7.

Playwrights Reed Martin & @austintichenor.bsky.social explain how they write their scripts by focusing on things that are funny to - and sometimes ONLY to - them. HEAR HERE (or wherever you get your podcasts)! @americantheatre.org www.reducedshakespeare.com/2025/04/funn...

Plays that are driven by narrative but end in poetry – or don't end at all, just stop – drive me nuts.

I wrote about @nicolegalland.bsky.social’s fun historical novel BOY for @folgerlibrary.bsky.social and how (among many other delightful things), it amplifies one of Shakespeare’s great meta-theatrical moments. @americantheatre.org www.folger.edu/blogs/shakes...

Just starting BOY by @nicolegalland.bsky.social (on the recommendation of @austintichenor.bsky.social) and looking forward to visiting Elizabethan London for a while #Booksky 💙📚

Never realized before that I'm always listening to John Cage's 4'33" whenever I'm not listening to anything else. Thanks, @ethanwarren.bsky.social!

@drpopcultureusa.bsky.social I’ll follow anybody that considers Shakespeare pop culture. Thanks for the re-bleet!
