Ken Page made his Broadway debut as Nicely-Nicely Johnson in the 1976 revival of Guys and Dolls when he was all of 22.
His "Sit Down, You're Rocking the Boat" was expanded to include a rousing Gospel section. An absolute showstopper.
Waterwell is turning 20 and honoring me and @shantourage (board chair emerita and current chief artistic officer at Lincoln Center). @jes_chastain and Audra McDonald are honorary co-chairs. Please come or donate and support the incredible work they do: waterwell20thparty.funraise.…

Last week nearly 200 students from Tina’s HS, @SumnerSTL joined us for @TinaBroadway!
The cast visited Sumner for a performance, Q&A, acting and choreo classes, and to tour the spaces that Tina performed.
Thanks to Sumner & @SLPS_Info for a great visit!

An entrance to the real Homer G Phillips, built 1932-37. It was the only hospital in St Louis serving African Americans at the time, and was one of the largest black teaching hospitals in the US.

*Review* MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING at @STLShakesFest:

Not a theater person. Even more not a Shakespeare person. Not exaggerating when I say that after 8 years of Shakespeare In The Park this production of Much Ado About Nothing is the best show I have ever seen. Nearly fell out of my seat laughing. Run. Don’t walk. #STL
