I know I've mentioned here before moments that have made me feel like I've succeeded on some level. Tonight watching the Tony awards brought two small moments like this. Tyne Daly, who I worked with last year, was presenting - and in fact the production with her that I worked on in DC opens on Broadway next week. So in a very small way, one step removed, I've worked on a Broadway play (though this could be said of some of the work I did with the Mirv too I suppose but this one feels more special somehow).

And capping the evening was seeing my friend Thom Allison, who is currently performing on Broadway in Priscilla Queen of the Desert, perform with the company on the broadcast. What a thrill to see his dreams coming true. I worked with Thom on RENT years ago and he is one of many Canadian talents I've worked with whose careers go along in a Canadian fashion, but our industry is so small and the opportunities so limited that no matter how good you are, it's hard to shine. And he's shining now. Way to go Thom!
