My mom grew up in a small town outside of Santa Fe, as did her parents, grandparents, and so on for many generations. I have abundant childhood memories of that place; summers and Christmases spent with extended family. Traditions, outdoor adventures, big gatherings with loud adult chatter, mostly in English with sprinklings of Spanish. My recent trip to Santa Fe was for a short business event with Jesse. It marked the first time I’d visited as a tourist. The drawback was not being able to choose where and what we ate. Northern New Mexico cuisine is unique. Banquet dinners with the group didn’t include any traditional dishes, which was a shame. But not to worry, we used our free moments to satisfy our palates with tamales, green chile stew, enchiladas red & green, sopapillas, and even biscochitos, usually a Christmas-time only treat! The perk of being a tourist was gaining knowledge of New Mexico’s history, and seeing the wonders of its landscape. I savored the new details, and at the same time was warmed by a deep sense of familiarity - with the food, the art (turquoise, pottery, silver, Navajo rugs), the adobe homes, the people, and the very air. It felt like a special privilege to know it so well and made me extremely proud to be of this enchanted land. #newmexico #santafe #americansoithwest #travelingisbliss

American Buffalo was the perfect play to see with @seans_dogs and talk about the fine acting, the dynamics, the moments that felt strong, and those perhaps we wanted more from. Engaging and fun night at Circle in the Square Theatre, one of my favorite spaces, and where Sean and I saw Al Pacino in Chinese Coffee circa 1992!! #broadway #broadwayplay #broadwayrevival #americanbuffalo #nyctheatre #circleinthesquare #tonightsbill #playbillinhand #ilovetheatre

Wish You Were Here was our second @sanaztss play this season (the fabulous English being the first). Jesse and I are officially fans of her work which escalates slowly and penetrates deeply. She writes rich female characters, fully complex. Friendship is at the heart of this play @phnyc I loved it in all of its sass and delicacy. #offbroadway #offbroadwayplay #sanaztoossi #playwrightshorizons #saturdaymatinee #nyctheatre #playwrighting #theatre #theatrelover

This spectacular (literally!) production of The Skin of Our Teeth @lctheater and helmed by @lileanablaincruzofficial is a wild ride and I was totally into it! A visual feast, I never knew what was going to happen next, I couldn’t even begin to guess. What a gift #thorntonwilder gave us for the ages. @gabybeans gives one of my favorite performances of the season thus far, especially in Act 1. It’s surreal, fourth-wall breaking, absurdist goodness. #theskinofourteeth #lincolncenter #vivianbeaumonttheater #broadwayplay #broadwayrevival #theatre #theater #broadway

So, so happy to get a rush ticket to this show today. Harmony is delightful and sobering. It is beautifully written by @barrymanilowofficial and @brucehsussman and performed to perfection by @thecastofharmony This true story of a singing group in 1930s Germany felt startlingly relevant. It triggered my fears for our humanity, while at the same time reassuring my faith in it. It is so good ❤️#nationalyiddishtheatrefolksbiene #jewishheritagemuseumnyc #offbroadway #offbroadwaymusical #musicaltheatre #bookmusical #ilovenusicals #ilovemusicaltheatre #ilovetheatre #barrymanilow #brucesussman #warrencarlyle #chipzien

The only drawback to seeing the closing performance of Next to Normal @wcplayhouse is that @jengansblankfein and I can’t tell you to run out and see it! Everything else was fabulous. What a cast!
