When you want to take a photo together after seeing a fantastic production of A View From The Bridge and you pose next to an anchor and realize after a few photos are taken, that smiling near a paper anchor is a bit weird and then you do something like this spastic move and slap a b&w filter on it and up the brightened all the way because there wasn't a flash and half my face was shadowed by the light, but your photo partner still looks fantastic when she starts laughing at all that was happening. @lexingtonv #HireUs haha

@CTGLA Ivo Van Hove's #AViewFromTheBridge was breathtaking. Reinvigorated why I love theatre so much last night. Simple. Raw. AWESOME.

I was groggy and exhausted from a Supernatural weekend in #Dallas, but Lucy Alibar woke me up and carried me into a generous, fantastical and beautifully human 90 minutes of storytelling from her youth in the South that sent me back into my own memories of muggy, sticky summer days in North Florida. If you have a chance to see #ThrowMeOnTheBurnpileAndLightMeUp, go! Center Theatre Group

One of the most stunning pieces of live theater I have ever seen. If you can, do.

Once Arthur Miller's classic American tragedy #AViewFromTheBridge hooks you, it won't let go-even after it's electrifying conclusion! @CTGLA
