We were asked not to use our phones during the 100-minute performance, so these photos were taken before and after.

But I gotta say, wow. Nights like these remind me why I’m grateful to have lived in New York for over two decades. Huge props to Pulitzer Prize winner, Martyna Majok, who wrote this story.

It was an absolute treat to see Lola and Daniel, but especially Lola. Her facial expressions and physical gestures/movements were on full display. There were moments of laughter and deep deep hurt and sadness, and she was absolutely incredible to watch. Honestly. A rising star. I hope she does more NY theater.

And a big thanks to everyone who pulled together this benefit for RAICES, a non-profit that supports immigrants, refugees, and asylum-seeking people and families. It felt especially timely given yesterday’s shooting of Oscar Belgal by an ICE agent in front of his five-year-old son in the Bronx.

Please, please consider donating to RAICES or getting involved with Hands Off NYC if you’re in the area.

And thank you to Lola for being such an incredible advocate for the next generation.

Jenny usually likes to have little call backs when it comes to her work. So maybe this could be a hint.

Do we think maybe June 20th based on the image above? It is a Sunday in 2027. Or could it be Belly's birthday, which I think is June 25th (Friday)? It is also pretty close to the 4th of July without it being the 4th of July.
