Happy Pride from the kid who found God somewhere between a stage light and a closing number.
I was baptized in greasepaint and show tunes long before I was welcome in a pew.
Theatre is sacred. Always has been.

Pride Month may be over. But the fight for our lives, our joy, and our futures is not.
We stood. We stand. We will keep standing.

Theatre saved me when the church didn’t know what to do with me.
I believe God was in the music, the movement, the community that held me.
That was my sanctuary. Still is.

In today’s Musical Midrash, J. Kyle & I talk about the new message The Sound of Music is singing to us these days: a story of prophets, exile, and the moral courage to do the hard thing:
What does The Sound of Music mean to you?

A reflection on Kiss of the Spider Woman — queerness, prophecy, fantasy, and survival.
Not all sacred stories feel safe. But they still save.

The Stories That Save Us
The new Kiss of the Spider Woman trailer made me remember why this musical matters — and how it just might save us all.

From Cynthia Erivo as Jesus to Laverne Cox as The Drowsy Chaperone — we’re talking sacred disruption, trans visibility, and what happens when queer people take center stage.

July 12, 1804.
Alexander Hamilton dies.
The world was wide enough.
It always is—if we choose it.
May we be the people who refuse to pull the trigger.
Who walk away.
Who choose life.

Thank you for every glittered prayer, every protest step, every song sung in survival.
Pride isn’t over. The month ends, but the call continues.
May you be blessed with softness, with strength, and with people who call you holy.
