the orchestra tuning, red lights on the red main drape, the cast feeding off the audience energy, being close enough to see every facial expression. UGH god i love theatre
My whole life has been spent in and around theaters. They are my church. These days it seems like we take performers a bit for granted. But for every stream online there is a person who had the guts to get up onstage and perform in some theater somewhere. My two favorite places in Los Angeles for live performances are Largo at the Coronet and The Elysian Theater. Go to either place any night and you will very likely find something wonderful and surprising. Don’t you want that?
During my senior year of high school, I designed a set for a conceptual theatre production of The Sound of Music and made a white model for it in 1/4” scale. I love that model to death. When I look at it, I feel so sure that I‘m on the right career path for me.
I can‘t even begin to explain the dopamine hit I get when I see chimney smoke. Maybe it reminds me that there’s actually people inside, that there are other people living completely different lives that I would never know about? Maybe it’s the aesthetic? It just somehow makes me feel less alone in the world.
it’s 3 am and I just had the most amazing conversation with my mom about my sexuality and what it means. I’m so grateful to have a family that not only loves and accepts me but truly wants to know about my life and experiences and wants to learn about queerness and what lgbtqia+ people experience. I came out of the conversation feeling so much better and feeling like a weight has been lifted now that I’ve been able to get things off my chest. I hope everyone is able to have someone like that in their life ❤️
