Willkommen! This is the official blog of The Diary of a Theatre Kid. This is where it all started. On this blog, we talk about everything from Broadway to regional to live TV musicals!

HELLO DARLINGS!!! I KNOW IT'S BEEN AGES SINCE I'VE POSTED AND I'M SO SORRY!!!! However, I come bearing amazing news!!! I can finally announce what I have been working on since June!!
That's right! I will be hosting the first ever POC Elphaba Roundtable and all of you are invited to join us! (More info on how will come later) Join me and celebrate the incredible talents of Brandi Chavonne Massey, Dan'yelle Williamson, Maria Eberline, Patrice Tipoki, Sarah Anne Fernandez and Saycon Sengloh as we talk about their tenure playing the green girl and the problems they have faced as women of color in the theatre community and much more.
This entire night will also serve as a benefit for BCEFA an organization that supports artists across America, many who are out of work during this pandemic. My goal is to reach $500 by the night of the round table. Mark your calendars! This incredible event takes place on Saturday November 21st at 7pm EST!
Who knows... maybe some more familiar green faces might join us...

I'm sorry for my serious lack of posting lately. I promised myself back in the fall of 2019 I was gonna try and post at least once a month (Besides The Last Midnight posts) and a lot of stuff just came up that I had to deal with. I'm gonna try and start posting at least once a month, but please know that I'm spewing out content daily on my Twitter and Tumblr so check those out! I have an entire thread for Black History month on my Twitter!
