And yet, in the years since, every time I've had a chance to see Passion, I have.

His next project should probably be to take a breatherfor a bit."

His next film should be titled: Media Training (how not to piss on other art.)"

If Billy Porter wants to play a bitchy Hollywood agent, they should write another play for him. A friend of mine suggested Sandra Oh, and I think that’s brilliant casting.

Hey opera lovers in DC and beyond, let's make sure all those Lisner Auditorium performances SELL OUT!
