“We need a fire.” Much needed break from self-promotion to promote a dear friend: If you’re in Washington DC, do yourself a favor and go see this brilliant piece of theater. I got to attend opening night and I’ll always remember it. Not only is the musical itself terrific, but I’m not sure there’s anything better than getting to see friends succeed. @corneliussmithjr and I go waaaaaaay back and his talent knows no bounds. There was no way I was going to miss seeing him manifesting all that spirit and drive and passion ON STAGE where he’s always belonged. A magical night and the culmination of so many things, personally and professionally. So! American Prophet, at Arena Stage in DC until 8.28.22.
