I *did* go to #LApride2019 this weekend, in the form of Indecent at @CTGLA.
PLEASE GO SEE THIS PLAY
It gutted me. It’s beautiful. See it.

Gosh this is the kind of performance that 20 years from now people will look back and go “I was there when Dianne Wiest did HAPPY DAYS.” Please catch this at @CTGLA until June 30th. It's not an easy play but the experience is highly rewarding.

Dianne Wiest is luminous, heartbreaking and laugh out loud funny in @CTGLA production of #HappyDays. Her performance is so rich and perfect, the play sings and the audience is mesmerized. It’s a gift to us all.

I missed Indecent when it ran in NY, god how lucky I was to be able to see it here in Los Angeles at @CTGLA. What a cathedral @VogelPaula has given us, such tremendous, shivering light. Los Angeles, fill this theatre.
