@charlesmcnultylat has carried me through some truly challenging times as a theatre artist. His rumination on the essence of our craft, written during the Great Recession, gave me the strength to carry on and keep making work. And his brilliant, caring assertions about theatrical work - new and revisited - employ a pristine diction that tickles my word-loving ears. Now, Charles has reflected on his experience of my play Lavender Men. His kind, generous, empowering words will carry me as I continue to present this run of the play at @skylighttheatre @playwrightsarena and as I plan the road ahead for this work and others. Thank you Charles for seeing who I am and who I can become. Much appreciation to the @latimes for sharing this review with its readers. Congrats to our captain @lovell.holder, my brothers in banter @peteploszek and @alexesola and our entire creative team. #latimes #review #queer #theatre #blackart
