I saw The Hollow at the Players' Theatre on Thursday. It's a limited run. The director's choices fascinated me and taught me valuable lessons about communication goals/skills and Commander's Intent (Commander's Intent is "A crisp plain-talk statement that specifies a plan's goal - a desired end-state of an operation."-Made to Stick by Chip and Dan Heath.)

More timely than ever.
I saw it last night. It opens on Broadway this evening. Hear my thoughts and ideas about this groundbreaking show that is produced by Hillary Rodham Clinton, Malala Yousafzai, and others.
It also inspired some of how I will proceed in my writing of my own two upcoming musicals.
Super excited to share this with you.
