Looking back over 2025, it appears I sat in a dark room and wrote barely legible thoughts into a notebook on about 150-odd occasions.

Theatre traditions shift at different stages of life. At times, mine meant being backstage before performing, warming up, or applying stage makeup on myself and friends. As I got older, it meant watching the kids I directed from the wings with pride and hugging them after their bows. Now, I stay involved by seeing as much theatre as possible. While I love going to shows with friends, there’s something special about being alone—about having an experience that is both singular and shared. And while I cherish the traditions I grew up with, I’ve come to value this new one just as much.
