Today I’m at theater prepping for the 5th preview of @outsidersmusical on Broadway. The @nytimes recently wrote about our show and the end of the article said:
““creation can actually save you. It is a means of some salvation.” Hinton knew it firsthand. “The year I wrote ‘The Outsiders,’ my father was dying of a brain tumor,” she recounted, back in her hometown library. “It was very slow. It was very painful. It was horrendous to watch. And I chose to write because I didn’t want to live where I was living. I lived in ‘The Outsiders,’”

I got chills when I read it. We have a lyric in our show asking “Am I writing the story, or is the story writing me?”

I’m just trying to be present and am so proud to share this story with the world in the new way. | Posted on 21/Mar/2024 21:40:06
