A MOMENT WITH SOME OF THE 2023 TONY© AWARD NOMINEES

                                                

I cannot believe that theater award season is about to end with an unscripted Tony©Awards show because of the film/tv writers strike.  In a way it is kind of fitting that the show will have to go rogue.  Considering that the show is headed into the Heights.  It will be an interesting presentation, to say the least.  Until we hear"... and the Tony© Award goes to...", it will be anyone's guess as to whom the American Theater Wing will bestow their honors.  Academy Award winning actress, Ariana Debose, will again host this year's Tony© Awards. 

While you are rooting for your favorites, please enjoy these moments of conversation with a few of this year's nominees.

HERE'S TO THE FOLKS WHO LUNCH

Speaking of lunch?  This past week I had the fantastic pleasure of covering the 71st Annual New Dramatists Luncheon.  This year's honoree is the Pulitzer Prize winning playwright, Suzan-Lori Parks.  She is the FIRST Black woman to win the coveted prize. 

I had a great time conversing on the red carpet/press line for the event.  I got a chance to chat with some really great folks:  Ben Platt, Josh Groban, Kenny Leon, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Lauren Molina, Irene Gandy, Rebecca Naomi Jones, Kevin Cahoon, Wayne Cilento, Sharon Washington, Natasha Yvette Williams, Kara Young, David Zayas, and Wendell Pierce.  Please enjoy these fun moments of conversation with me.
