I had the pleasure of seeing your recent production of Little Women, The Broadway Musical the other night. And when I say I had the pleasure, I actually do mean that for a change. This was one of the better shows I have seen produced by your company. I am probably one of the few people who had no idea what the story was about, other than knowing it was a book with several movie versions in existence. So, for someone like me, this production was a nice introduction to the stor

I just want to start off by saying it has been a pleasure spending the last few months with you. You definitely brought the warmth needed to these old bones after the cold that Winter brought with it. After living in the Pacific Northwest for as long as I did, I forgot just how much warmth you possess. Well, you at least provide a physical warmth, your emotional warmth could still use some work. With that being said, I do have a question that I hope does not cause you to be

It’s always nice to get out of the house and visit acquaintances every now and then, and it was nice seeing you this past Sunday afternoon. Your production of I Hate Hamlet was a nice diversion on yet another hot and humid afternoon in the Memphis area. Sorry, I digress. Your production of this Broadway play shows theater is about choices, choices that can either make a show success, or not. The first of several choices in bringing the pages to life is of course which play t

I recently saw your production of Mean Girls last Sunday. While I would like to say I enjoyed the show, I unfortunately cannot. There were several issues with the production that made it impossible to enjoy, and some issues so important that they need to be brought to your attention, especially the use of a Chick-fil-A to-go bag as a stage prop. Really? Given that company’s widely criticized history of supporting anti-LGBTQ causes, why in the world would you want to use them

I see you’re about to release another album. What number does that make this one? Forty? I can’t believe you’ve released that many albums. Gurl, you’ve been around for ages, and I mean that with respect. Congratulations are definitely in order. Releasing that many albums is no small feat, especially considering the critics were so quick to dismiss you when you first burst onto the scene. What did they all say? That you were going to be a flash and then disappear? Well, you ce

Why are you called Father Time instead of Mother Time? Is it because we already have Mother Nature? I ask because I really wasn’t sure how to address you. Now that I think about it, it might lie in the naming itself. Mother Nature implies a nurturing aspect, and well, from my experience, fathers aren’t always the most nurturing of people. Kind of like time itself—not really nurturing. Anyways, I’ve made it. I’ve completed another trip around the sun. What does that make it,

Dried or fresh fruits are often key additions to sweet and savory Moroccan tagines such as this one. Here, chicken is stewed until tender with onions, saffron, ginger, ​and pepper, and the dish is then topped with apricots and a honey-cinnamon syrup. Fried almonds or sesame seeds are traditional, but optional, garnishes. The seasoning here reflects a preference for fruit tagines that are zesty and a bit peppery. Feel free to reduce the white and black peppers (and Ras el H

It’s that time of year again when we don our cut-off jeans, put on our muscle shirts that show off the countless hours we spend at the gym, and clink our cocktails in honor of you as we march down the street chanting, “We’re here, we’re queer, get used to it.” Well, I think that still happens. I’m not entirely sure, as I’ve taken a step back from these activities because you don’t seem to represent what you once did. These days, it seems to be one big party where people drink

Well, you have most definitely created a very tangled web of lies and deceit, haven’t you? There once was a time when you actually represented those who elected you to office. Now, you use those same people to get into office, then abandon them in order to stay in power and idolize the orange one. Why is this? Why have you forgotten the basic principles of your party for the ideology of a president who is only going to be in office for two more years? Unless, of course, you k

It was a pleasure seeing you a few weeks ago after all these years, though, now that I think of it, we did cross paths just over a year ago in London. That encounter, however, was unfortunately a forgettable one for me. A musical is simply not the best venue for you. While Ms. Williams did an admirable job portraying you, it was still only an imitation; she could not capture the sharpness that has always made you unmistakable. So when you decided to grace us with your presen

You have outdone yourself on this one, and I thought Ohio passing a law forbidding make -up to be worn by drag queens was an idiotic law, however, you have surpassed them when it comes to legislature that is completely idiotic, and a waste of taxpayer money. Can you please explain to me the purpose of your declaration that June, a month which has predominately been Pride Month, is to now be referred to as Nuclear Family Month? What exactly does that mean? I get that you are t

After these past two weeks, no, after the last twenty some years, I have come to the conclusion that you hate me. Why is this? Sure, I may have written a letter to your mother, but that was out of frustration due to my continued singledom. In retrospect, I see how you may have taken that action personally. I can assure you it was not meant to be. If you did take it that way, I’d like to once again apologize for my apparent lack of judgement in sending that letter. Now that I

Well, you have probably passed the most preposterous law yet. In case you have no idea what I’m referring to, I’ll refresh your memory: Ohio HB 249. You know, the one that “bans” individuals from wearing make-up of the opposite sex during adult cabarets performances if minors are present. You were even so kind as to define what you meant by "adult cabaret performances," which are those featuring performers displaying a gender identity different from their biological sex. Whic
