RIP Pauline Collins, the beloved British actress whose grace & talent lit up both stage & screen. Her luminous performance as SHIRLEY VALENTINE earned her a Tony, a BAFTA, and an Oscar nomination, and remains one of the most profoundly human performances ever captured on film.

⁣Enormous gratitude to these amazing DC friends who made the trip down to Richmond to see MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS. Seeing your faces in the audience made the night unforgettable. Thank you for showing up, cheering loudly, and being part of this journey.⁣ ⁣ #gratitudepost

MAYBE HAPPY ENDING was incredibly inventive, profoundly moving, visually stunning & ingeniously staged. Bravo to the cast, crew, creatives & musicians.

It’s that magical time of year when the flannel sheets come out and I disappear into a cocoon of warmth and questionable decisions…like never leaving my bed again. #AutumnVibes

⁣In 1993, we met on VAMPIRE LESBIANS OF SODOM and I convinced him to don a loincloth and carry a spear. 32 years later, we’re still making questionable choices, but with improved taste levels and significantly more fabric. ⁣ ⁣ #32yearslater #alifeinthetheatre

Dripping with Pride…literally! ⁣ ⁣ Theatre creates space for every voice. ⁣Pride reminds us why that matters. Proud to represent @vareptheatre.bsky.social at VA Pridefest 2025! ⁣ If you’re not soaked, did you even Pride? ⁣ ⁣ #vapridefest #pride2025 🏳️‍🌈 #VARep #loveislove🌈 #SoakedWithPride

On this day in 1982, Kate Bush released ‘The Dreaming’—her bold, avant-pop masterpiece. Experimental, theatrical, and fearless, it proved she was already light-years ahead of her peers.

I unfollowed the Kennedy Center on Instagram today…after decades of support, performance, and attendance. Yeah, that’s where we are.

⁣The best part of vacation wasn’t the rosé all day or the season finale of THE GILDED AGE…it was time with this bunch. ⁣ ⁣ #2dads2dogs 🏳️‍🌈 #biurbanlife #piedaterre #findyourtribe

It’s my favorite time of day during vacation: late afternoon. Time for some rosé, a few episodes of (Re)motel on HBO/Max & a healthy serving of THE MADAME BLANC MYSTERIES. #vacation #guiltypleasures

⁣Sending our heartfelt congratulations to @vareptheatre's Director of Sales, Janine Sears, who is embarking on her well-deserved retirement! She has been the warm, welcoming face of our patron services since 1997. So many of our audience's experiences have been elevated thru her interactions w/them.

WAITRESS closes this weekend, so we’ll be saying goodbye to sugar, butter, flour…and hello to a little sleep, solitude, and serenity. As of Sunday night, we’ll be tucked away with the boys at our DC pied-à-terre for a much-needed week of rest, relaxation, and recharging.

⁣Decades may have passed, but some friendships never change. Picked up right where we left off, laughing, dishing, and sharing memories like no time had passed. And yes, a tipple or two may have been involved. Grateful for friends who feel like home, no matter how many years it’s been.

⁣Wishing you a safe & joyful 4th of July weekend. May it be filled with laughter, good eats & great memories! ⁣ We’re also lighting a sparkler for Muchacho, who became part of our family three years ago this week. Happy Gotcha Day to our handsome boy with the mismatched eyes & the biggest heart!⁣
