FIRST LOOK at another reason to go back to Skid Row 🌱👀

Nikki M. James is giving heart, vulnerability, and vocals as Audrey, Jordan Fisher steps into Seymour with that boy-next-door charm, and Andy Karl? Oh he’s cutting UP as Orin 😮‍💨

And don’t sleep on that trio! Christine Wanda, Savannah Lee Birdsong, and Morgan Ashley Bryant as the Urchins with Christian McQueen as the voice of Audrey II 👀

This Little Shop of Horrors revival is still THAT girl in year seven at the Westside Theatre and clearly not slowing down.

“Talent is insignificant. I know a lot of talented ruins. Beyond talent lie all the usual words: discipline, love, luck, but, most of all, endurance.”

And then came the moment. ✨

At the close of the performance, Misty Copeland took the stage reminding us why her presence alone can shift the energy of a room.

After hip surgery and a season of recovery, seeing her command the stage at the Academy Awards felt even more powerful. This is a testimony.

The performance we were all waiting for. 🎭🔥

A live performance of “I Lied To You” from Sinners at the Oscars was always going to hit different and it did. It had the scale, the musicianship, and the storytelling that made it feel like theatre on the biggest stage.

Miles Caton and Raphael Saadiq led the moment, joined by Misty Copeland, Eric Gales, Christone ‘Kingfish’ Ingram, Jayme Lawson, Li Jun Li, Bobby Rush, Buddy Guy, Brittany Howard, Shaboozey, and Alice Smith during the Academy Awards.

Blues, movement, and storytelling, the kind of live moment that reminds you how close film and theatre really are.

Every post has its own pulse.
This one just took a few days to breathe.

From family and faith, to reflection and remembrance, these last few days reminded me that creation isn’t constant motion. It’s listening. It’s honoring. It’s knowing when to pause.

D’Angelo reminded us what patience in art looks like. Oh Happy Day reminds us what redemption in community feels like. Both speak the same language of time, trust, and transformation.

The work doesn’t stop when we rest.
It deepens.

Rest is part of the rhythm.
