It's sold out, but we've been able to get people in on the wait list! Show up 1 hr before curtain
"Parade" is a profoundly meaningful musical with a profoundly beautiful score given a profoundly forceful staging by Ground Floor Theatre. Musical theater at its best. Lisa Scheps and Adam Roberts lead a flawless team of actors, musicians, designers and crew. I wouldn't change an iota.

“it’s reasonable to ask questions about trans girls in sports” was always intended to mainstream transphobia.
It’s absurd that people fell for it. Democrats are constantly letting oppressors set the terms of debate instead of just saying “no, fuck you.”

I don’t know how to process the horrific fire hose of tragedy that has been omnipresent but has spiked this weekend, and I suspect I’m not alone. We aren’t meant to carry this much suffering and be able to function at “normal” capacity. Be gentle with yourself and others, if you can.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".
