| Laura Collins-Hughes has an intriguing op-ed in the NYT dated March 14, 2021 about how “the American theater has no towering figure even attempting to lead it through crisis, the way Andrew Lloyd Webber has in Britain.” She says she has a “wildly charismatic advocate” in mind, indeed several advocates who are big celebrities who like to prove their bona fides from time to time on the stage. I don’t know whom she means and what she’d like them to do (other than to sign on “to do a play at a regional theater closest to where they grew up.”) Anyone know who she’s talking about? | |

| Thanks, Mockingbird Girl. What a thread it is! Lots of stuff about should theaters reopen. But not covered is who LCH coyly refers to as some super celebrity who could help the theater and how could that person help? What could Denzel Washington do? Or Ethan Hawke or Jake Gyllenhaal or Aaron Sorkin? | |

| It seems to me that Lin-Manuel Miranda is a high-level celebrity who could be a great help, and I'm pretty sure he has been helping behind the scenes, though perhaps not getting a lot of publicity for it. | |
