maintain that this is GOOD QUEER LIVING and the rewatches *make* the meaning
When it gets cold, we begin our annual rewatch of "Smash." Impossible to be SAD while watching Ivy trip on prednisone, or Karen Cartwright pinball thru the Winter Fringe with the personality of a parsnip, or, along with Rachel Shukert, questioning the ontologics of Bernadette Peters as Lee Conroy.

Hey! Loved NAWP's November reading so much you want to relive it? (Understandable!) Couldn't be there because your basement was flooding and a swan had moved in? (Fair.)

Whatever your reason, we have the recording up on our YouTube page! Enjoy & NAWP!
