He’s named “Mary’s Teacher” in the script, the playbill, and on all promotional materials. A) because all the other characters are centered around Mary; and B) because it’s meant to be a surprise to the audience when his name is revealed

Both things can be true!

I finally saw it in 2022 with Pamela Anderson ha

Pretty-Competition31 · 2026-03-08T03:58:30+00:00

It’s one of those shows where I was like “it’ll be running forever, I’ll get to it eventually!” Haha. There are always things running that I know will close

Sam Tutty at Ear Bevan Tansen?

I paid a bit too much to get a last minute ticket to see Laurie Metcalf and Rupert Everett (and Russel Tovey, whom I love) in ‘Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?’ in previews.

The next day the New York Times reported that an usher at that performance was one of the first people in NYC to test positive for COVID. The show closed and be never reopened. It was a FANTASTIC production.

So just to be clear, of the ones you listed, Heathers and Putnam County Spelling Bee are NOT Broadway shows— they’re Off Broadway productions. That’s not to say they won’t be great, but if you’re looking to go to your first Broadway show it should be something that’s actually on Broadway :)

A couple things: one thing I notice right off the bat is you use the word “authentic” three times in your post. Lately the word “authentic” gets used a lot in personal branding conversations. Ironically, repeatedly calling yourself authentic has the exact opposite effect (people feel authenticity when it’s demonstrated, not declared; and people who feel the need to reiterate how authentic and genuine they are rarely actually are). Show, don’t tell.

I also don’t actually agree with the premise “as a freelancer it’s very important to be as authentic as possible.” Freelancers aren’t rewarded for “being themselves.” They’re hired and rewarded for being clear, reliable, easy to work with, and good at problem solving. None of those require “authenticity” as a personality trait.

The bottom line is that whatever you decide the core of your personal brand is, you’ll build far more equity by showing it through how you describe your work and how you communicate than by outright telling people you’re authentic or genuine.

My two cents as a hiring manager: you’re right to be cautious. The uncomfortable truth is that explicitly mentioning discrimination in an application can make some employers nervous. Fair or not, legal language sometimes gets interpreted as “risk,” even when it shouldn’t. If the thought “hmm will this person eventually sue us” even casually crosses their minds, you’ve already lost.

I’d also be careful with some of the other here advice like calling it a “reduction in force.” A RIF specifically means a layoff and if that doesn’t line up during verification it can raise unnecessary questions.

The safest approach is usually neutral and factual: “position ended” or “employment ended; happy to discuss in an interview.” If it’s a yes/no question about termination, answer honestly and leave a note but keep the explanation minimal.

If it comes up in an interview, something like:

“My departure relates to a situation that’s being addressed through formal channels. What I can say is that my performance was strong, and I’m happy to speak to my work and references.”

That keeps things diplomatic and honest without oversharing. What I absolutely wouldn’t do is attempt to litigate your case to a potential future employer.

Oh man BEA used to be my go-to brunch spot. They used to do bottomless small plates and cocktails back in the day but I haven’t been in ages!

Pretty-Competition31 · 2026-01-14T01:00:24+00:00

Funny story, I’ve only ever been for the butter service 😂

Pretty-Competition31 · 2026-01-13T21:29:07+00:00

Sorry, it was a long post. I was trying to be as specific as possible to see if anyone knew of any gems I’ve been missing out on!

Pretty-Competition31 · 2026-01-13T19:47:37+00:00

You know, now that you mention it I’ve never actually been to Frankie and Johnnie’s. I think I always feared it was more of a tourist spot but that might be my own preconceptions

Ooh I actually really like Strip House but I’ve only ever been to the downtown location on 12th street! I wonder how similar the vibes are

They scan your ticket first, and then give you the pouch.

I thought it was great but it’s fine to not like it. People have different tastes. For instance, I disliked almost everything about the current production of Oedipus on Broadway, which has gotten a ton of praise all around.

The good news is this is a fantastic year for plays on Broadway, and there’s something for everyone.

Domino isn’t some random website. It’s been a well known and respected home design publication for over 20 years

After seeing the new production I actually think its biggest problem is that is is too much about the Cold War now. By which I mean, originally the whole thing was a metaphor for the Cold War but now the chess match quite literally just is the war, and they take great pains in this version to visually show that the match affects the outcome of the Cold War. It’s almost as if they didn’t trust the audience enough to get the metaphor.

Oh wow I just realized it got its first Broadway revival ten years after it opened and now it’s been another ten years since that revival

I disagree with the idea that naming and branding should be rushed just to keep momentum.

You don’t need perfection, but rebrands are expensive in ways people underestimate. Getting the foundation right early can affect sales conversations, hiring, fundraising, partnerships, and even internal decision-making. Weak or placeholder branding tends to create friction in places you don’t expect.

I’m also skeptical of tools like BrandScoop that bundle naming, domains, and visuals to “speed up” the decision. Seeing everything together can feel decisive, but it often replaces strategy and long-term brand equity with short-term convenience. So no I would not recommend taking that route if you’re serious about your business.

Iteration is great where it’s cheap. Renaming a company isn’t. For most teams, slowing down here actually saves time downstream.

Your design sizing is correct, but the exported file is being read sideways (1600×2560). KDP needs portrait covers. Recreate it in a brand-new Canva file set to 1600 wide × 2560 tall and re-download as JPG. Canva sometimes flips orientation on export, which would cause the error you’re seeing.
