Went back for seconds on that corn pudding. I know, greedy.🌽 Schmigadoon! was even more delicious the second time. Plus, we ran into this dude. He’s the voice of Fizzarolli, our favorite character in Helluva Boss, and we both happened to be wearing our Fizzarolli shirts! What was he doing there?! Small world! We seriously want to watch the show as many times as there are cast members so we can pay full attention to each person.

"Shakespeare is boring." We've all heard it... but have you actually seen this production? 👀🎭🎤 This isn't the A Midsummer Night's Dream you read in high school. Imagine Shakespeare's timeless story of love, magic, and mistaken identity infused with over 100 years of iconic pop music. Karaoke anthems, powerhouse ballads, guilty pleasures, and chart-topping hits become the soundtrack to one unforgettable night in the enchanted forest. The words are Shakespeare's—but the experience is unlike anything you've seen before. Whether you're a lifelong Shakespeare fan or someone who's always been intimidated by his work, this production was made for you. Come discover why audiences have been falling in love with this play for over 400 years... and why you'll be singing all the way home. 🎭 Opening this Friday! Get your tickets and experience Shakespeare reimagined. Link in my bio! #AMidsummerNightsDream #Shakespeare #NotYourHighSchoolShakespeare #ctxlivetheatre #atxtheatre

A little picture story of my 5th time seeing Annie @zachtheater. I would never have seen it this many times without the new ZachXP membership - $44/month, unlimited shows, any seat. This deal also gave me the idea to start a theatre blog, since I will be seeing all the shows!👀 The matinee marquee is also quite pretty☀️ I like how the Z continues on the other side of the bldg. So colorful!🌈 Merch!😍 Adopt a Sandy and get an adoption certificate!💌 I already like it here!🥰 I must get a picture of the sensational Holly Frost the next time I’m back!🎶 Noted!✔️ My 5th time seeing Annie here, my mom’s 2nd. Such a fun “free” thing to do w your mom. Even the parking is complimentary when you’re a ZachXP member!💅🏽 Quite literally SAT. No bad seats!🤓 I finally got some bows!🌹 They’re two of a kind!❤️🖤 They’re 3 of a kind! 3 Great Pyrenees/Poodles, 2 played Sandy. These are the CHILLEST dogs I have ever met.✌🏼 I have a healthy obsession with The Topfer marquee in the evening.🌙

As promised. This is Annie in 1994 at SJCMT (now @cmtsj) directed by @cookingwithgad. 32 years ago! I can’t remember the name of the theater - wait, civic auditorium?- but there was an “A” and a “B”. This was the first time I experienced sobbing when a show was over. Nobody warned me! Daddy Warbucks was played by Brad Bening, who I remember being so kind and a lawyer! And also, he’s Annette Bening’s brother. I got to meet her and thought she was very nice and cool. I think he’s still affiliated with the theatre. We had two Annies. One is wearing the black Annie sweatshirt. I remember we all had the hots for this guy. Can you tell? What a moment. Great shot, mom. I’m the Asian maid. Oh wait. Now there’s 2 Asian maids. That’s Angela Lin and she’s a star! I can’t even tag her in this.😭 CRYING. More crying, but with an orphan this time. Annie and FDR.
