Barrett Foa Instagram - It’s the end of an era. I’m so proud of this show. The writing, the acting, the cast, the crew, the fans, and yes, my work on it. Creating and developing a gorgeously fleshed-out character like the brainy, bumbling, beta, billionaire Eric “Bulletproof” Beale over the last 12 years has been an actor’s dream.  Not many people in this world get to have this incredible privilege, and the gratitude I carry for this opportunity is difficult to express.  Thank you, CBS, and NCIS: Los Angeles for 280 fantastic episodes. Link in bio.

Barrett Foa Instagram - My grandmother Marie “Nonnie” Foa (going strong at 101) holding my cousin’s new twins. Four wonderful generations. Welcome to the planet!
Barrett Foa Instagram - Sometimes you take a step back and look at your life and you want to pinch yourself. And punch yourself. And tickle and burn and cuddle and bite and poop on and kiss and slap and fuck and body slam and love and stomp on yourself.

Barrett Foa Instagram - How can you possibly point to one thing that gets you to a milestone like 250 episodes of television? So many factors must come into play. So many people must focus on a single vision. So many stars must align.  Wanna start with the cast? Sure. Thanks. But who is writing the words we say? Who is carrying the camera on their shoulders and focusing the frame? Who is lighting each and every shot so that it looks professional and dramatic. What about editing? And sound? And color correction and studio heads and network mucky mucks and make up and production assistants and location scouts and first assistant directors and second assistant directors? Who rented that helicopter? Who designed and built and decorated all those sets? What about the guys at crafty who feed us so we’re not cranky?  What about the publicity ladies and the hair dept and stunts and special effects and the transportation guys who move the trucks and trailers around. Who’s keeping an eye on the money and casting all the guest stars telling the background actors where to move and when? Who is printing out scripts and formatting the rewrites? It’s just endless. We’re a large village of humans working towards putting out an entertaining 43 minutes of television each and every week. I am constantly grateful and overwhelmingly humbled to be one human in such a fabulously efficient, successful, and creative village.

Barrett Foa Instagram - Yo girl, I missed you something awful. Guess what? I got you present. Yeah. That’s right.  It’s the big holiday episode of NCIS: Los Angeles.  I worked real hard on it. See these big blond curls and this sexy porn stash? You know what they mean? They mean I love you. Haha. Yeah. Do I make you smile? Yo, this is cray, but these yellow glasses really bring out the rosiness in them cheeks of yours. You’ll always be my #1 lady. I got a fireplace. Wanna cuddle?

Barrett Foa Instagram - Losing weight for the role of Prior in ANGELS IN AMERICA who’s living with AIDS in 1985.  When I was cast months ago, I very consciously made the decision to help tell our difficult, wonderful, life-affirming story with not only my voice, my movements, and my acting, but also my body.  Don’t worry, friends: I’m being very healthy in my process!  Thank you for the love.

Barrett Foa Instagram - Yesterday was Nonnie’s 102nd birthday, so naturally, I raised a glass of scotch in her honor.  She passed peacefully back in May at the ripe young age of 101 (and 3/4). She and I grew very very close over the past decade. I got to be with her on one of her final days, and I whispered all our inside jokes in her ear.  She drank single malt scotch every single day of her life - I even named my dog Scotch after her favorite drink (mine, too.) Nonnie, I know you’re up there enjoying a Dewar’s (rocks glass, ice on the side) and secretly gobbling up milk chocolate Easter bunnies (solid only, none of that cheap stuff) in that big closet in the sky.  Giving you a big, loud “kiss in ear!” Let’s all raise a glass to my late grandma, Marie “Nonnie” Foa! 🥃 .

But seriously, in a world of such uncertainty, the fact that this show is able to provide its cast and crew with one more season of steady work, and its fans with one more season of comforting entertainment makes me feel all sorts of gratitude-y feely feels. Thank you, CBS. 
Thank you for this job. 
Thank you to our fans.

Barrett Foa Instagram - I recently unearthed this pic of 17-year-old Barrett at the final performance of Interlochen Arts Camp’s High School Operetta production of Gilbert & Sullivan’s THE GONDOLIERS. I was never a lead in the Operettas, so this captured my disbelief and “awe-shucks-ness” at being awarded Most Outstanding Male Chorus Member OF THE LAST 25 YEARS. A slightly ridiculous if somewhat significant honor since the casts were huge. (I was chosen out of 1,000 guys.) (Looking back, I think they were just blinded by all that blush and my 90s center part. 💁🏼‍♂️ #goldenarches)

I always liked performing in middle school, but the four glorious high school summers I spent at Interlochen Arts Camp plunged me headfirst into the dynamic, transformative, unifying power of The Arts.  It was there I grew from a 14-year-old boy who liked to play pretend to a 17-year-old artist utterly devoted to his craft.  For eight weeks and four summers, I stood side by side with student artists from all over the globe at the very top of their craft - from classical cellists to jazz percussionists, modern dancers to pottery makers, creative writers to Shakespearean actors - I was constantly in awe and constantly inspired.  It was pure magic.

Interlochen Public Radio recently interviewed me about my time at Interlochen, on Broadway, and on 11  seasons on NCIS: Los Angeles. The link to the article and radio interview are available in my bio. 

The arts can, will, and must keep thriving.  As a way to give back to an institution that gave me so much (including this preposterous award!), I established the Barrett Foa Endowed Scholarship in Theatre Arts.  I return to Interlochen every few years to meet my scholarship students, teach master classes, and relive the magical memories hidden around every corner. 

“Dedicated to the Promotion of World Friendship Though the Universal Language of the Arts”

Barrett Foa Instagram - Know what’s hard?  Authenticity.  It’s scary.  I’m terrible at it. But every day I strive to peel back one more layer of me. To reveal something vulnerable about myself. Every time I do, magic happens.  Pride Happens.
.
Know what’s easy?  Shame.  It’s a piece of cake.  I’m fantastic at it.  And every day I’m tempted to build walls between me and myself. To expose someone else’s truth only to diminish it. Every time I do, separation happens.  Fear happens.
.
So... what if we all did the harder, scarier thing?  What if we all got:
MORE vulnerable. 
MORE sincere. 
MORE understanding. 
MORE supportive. 
MORE authentic.
More PROUD.
.
Who’s in? 
Who has guts? 
Who has PRIDE? 🙋🏼‍♂️

Barrett Foa Instagram - Read to the end for the story of how I got Annette Bening’s (4x Academy Award-nominated) digits in my phone.  (Yeah, we text now 🤳🏽💬)  

I recently had the honor of meeting Annette Bening while picketing in support of the Screen Actors Guild and our sister union, the Writers Guild of America. What a trip to be marching outside the iconic gates of Paramount Studios (where I spent 12 years of my life shooting over 275 episodes of NCIS: Los Angeles) next to my longtime co-star and bestie, @reneefelicesmith (and director @directedbypaul ) As about 100 of us gathered, Annette introduced herself as Chair of the Board of Trustees at the Entertainment Community Fund (formerly The Actors Fund), @alifeinthearts letting everyone there know that the Fund is a safety net for EVERYONE in the entertainment industry - particularly in times of great need. If you or anyone you know needs a hand right now, please reach out to them for help with everything from rent, to medical care, to grocery bills, to health insurance counseling, to mental health support.  The Fund helps not only actors and writers, but all arts workers: camera operators, dancers, stage managers, casting directors, electrical grips, comedians, prop masters, theatre ushers, you name it!EntertainmentCommunity.org

Okay, the fun part: After her speech, I introduce myself as Vice President of the Board of @every_day_action and tell her about the incredible work we do every day (rescue uneaten catered meals from film and TV sets [otherwise destined for the dumpster] - and donate them directly to our food-insecure and unhoused neighbors all over LA). I then tell her how Every Day Action has started working closely with the Entertainment Community Fund by delivering fresh meals to 2 of their housing facilities.  She lights up and says, “You MUST to take my number.” My heart stops.  I hesitate and before I can inhale, she grabs my phone and enters her (4x Academy Award-nominated) digits.  

Yeah. We’re basically besties.
Annette - I’m huge fan of your incredible work on screen.  But I’m a true fanboy for your generosity towards those in need.  Thank you.

Voting in CA just got even easier:

Barrett Foa Instagram - I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Angels in America, Part 1: Millennium Approaches is officially open!  This week we open Part 2: Perestroika (ya know, the weirder, longer, harder one with more angels, more ghosts, more magic, more blood, more ladders, more wrestling, more spooj, more punching, more nudity, more heaven, more hospitals, more rain, more Mormons, more dummies, more Mormon dummies, more bruises, more Bolsheviks, more prophets, more flying, and more cats!) NB: this is a rehearsal pic. Don’t worry, The Angel (the gorgeous Gina Daniels) does not wear pigtails in the show.  Think more Grace Jones ferocity! 😇👩🏾‍🎤🧚🏾‍♀️ #AngelsInAmerica #ncisla #repstl 📷: @madmakeupnhair

Barrett Foa Instagram - Unearthed this delicious pic of Nick Cordero at the 2014 Tony Awards when he was nominated for Best Featured Actor in a Musical for BULLETS OVER BROADWAY.  I was the on-air backstage host and social media correspondent that year and after our interview I asked if we could do an impromptu tap dance together which I wish I had video of. On Jan 15, 2020, I was lucky enough to see Nick shine as Dennis on opening night of ROCK OF AGES in Hollywood. Nick passed away on July 5, 2020 from COVID-19 complications. He was 364 days younger than me. It’s a short ride. Be kind. Rest In Peace.

Barrett Foa Instagram - When I was a 20 years old, a 40 year old mentor of mine put a copy of ANGELS IN AMERICA Parts 1 & 2 in my hands and said, “One day you’ll be in this.” I knew I was reading a work of genius. A masterpiece of the American Theatre.  These plays won the Pulitzer Prize and every Tony Award under the sun.  But be IN them?  Never.  I was a musical theatre chorus boy working in summer stock.  I would never be in a play this important.  I would never be old enough. Smart enough.  A good enough actor.  Never be brave enough to face its themes much less portray them truthfully.  I would never be fierce enough, fabulous enough, flamboyant enough, weird enough. Awesome enough. 
21 years later, I have been cast in ANGELS IN AMERICA Parts 1 & 2 at The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis, one of the best regional theatres in the country.  I am playing Prior Walter, a gay New Yorker living with AIDS in 1985 - one of the scariest times to be alive in recent history. And here I am: old enough, smart enough, GOOD ENOUGH.  Living in my power and tapping into everything in me that is unapologetically and openly gay, grounded, fierce, funny, flamboyant, and fabulous, sure, but also, intelligent, tough, wonderful, nasty, strong, gross... and brave. 
The Great Work Begins .

Barrett Foa Instagram - Drag dream sequence from ANGELS IN AMERICA. I’ve never felt more powerful.
Barrett Foa Instagram - Humbled and proud to work with these seven stunningly brilliant powerhouses. We have moved into the theatre and the technical elements are simply GORGEOUS.  Magic, and flying, and fighting, and sex, and make up, and wigs, and wings, and costumes, and hospitals, and ghosts, and blood, and angels and... Having not one but TWO turn tables is giving new meaning to Kushner’s brilliant line, “The world only spins forward.” 😉🌎💫 ANGELS IN AMERICA - Parts 1 & 2 arrives at The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis in just one week. Join us for Tony Kushner’s mold-breaking, world-shaking, ceiling-shattering play. Ticket link in bio!

Pro accountability. And pro-racial equality. Caring about the life of another isn’t political – it’s human.” —Shannon Griffin

Barrett Foa Instagram - CBS asked me to answer the question, “What does Pride mean to you?”
.
“These days, I’m finding that my pride grows out of really knowing what I stand for. It takes hard work - it can be scary to do that deep dive. But think about it, if you’re proud of who you are, then the next generation can feel free to express themselves without fear. We all stand on the shoulders of the brave leaders who came before us. The LGBTQ  liberation movement that started in New York City at the Stonewall Inn 51 years ago was a riot - against police - led by strong, proud, Black trans women. Here we are half a century later, being asked, yet again, to stand up for what’s right. So do the work, look inside, and lend your voice. Be proud of what you stand for. Happy Pride.” 🏳️‍🌈 #CBSPride #pridemonth #gaypride #gay #pride

Barrett Foa Instagram - A few weeks ago, I had the absolute pleasure of teaching 50 incredible humans in Santa Maria, CA.  The students of Pioneer Valley High School and their theatre teacher @selynharwin could not have been more welcoming, daring, connected, open, trusting, or talented. 

After I led them through warms ups (inspired by @therealalexandrabillings @emilystellafletcher and @zivameditation) I had the privilege of coaching them on songs and monologues. 

These young actors were tacking big, rich, mature material: “Being Alive” from COMPANY, “She Used To Be Mine” from WAITRESS, “Roxie” and “When You’re Good to Mama” (from their upcoming production of CHICAGO) and knocking every song out of the proverbial park. 

Perhaps my favorite moment of the day was one student who sang “This is Me” from THE GREATEST SHOWMAN.  He was a bit timid out of the gate, but then he opened up about how he plays sports, but he feels his true spirit come alive when in the presence of his theatre community. I asked him to sing the song again - this time to his parents and football coach. He dug deep, accepted the challenge, and blossomed right before our eyes.  As he sang, his body and his purpose came online, and suddenly all 50 kids were waving their phone flashlights from the audience like he was headlining a rock concert. Tears were streaming. It was one of those breakthrough moments every mentor and student dreams of and I’ll never forget it. 

Risks were being taken. Habits were being broken. “Ah-ha!” revelations were being made. We were all having so much fun that I stayed way past my scheduled 2 hours, and I got to cap off the day with a song. 

It was a joyous, rewarding, celebratory afternoon that reminded us all of  the importance of art, connection, storytelling, truth, craft, and the sense of community that only theatre can provide. I am forever changed.

Barrett Foa Instagram - Last night’s Vineyard Theatre gala where I got to perform as my old pal Rod from AVENUE Q (closing after an incredible 16 year run!) My forearm muscles will be sore for a week, but it was worth it getting to wiggle a puppet around and have Rod unabashedly flirt with the uber-talented and game Brandon Victor Dixon. 
I leave you with two corny jokes I came up with for last night’s sketch:
Rod: My my my, Brandon Victor Dixon. I’ve always wanted to get into a pair of BVDs!
Rod: Brandon, I loved you in Jesus Christ Superstar. Care to betray me with a... Judas kiss?

Barrett Foa - 12.1K Likes - How can you possibly point to one thing that gets you to a milestone like 250 episodes of television? So many factors must come into play. So many people must focus on a single vision. So many stars must align.  Wanna start with the cast? Sure. Thanks. But who is writing the words we say? Who is carrying the camera on their shoulders and focusing the frame? Who is lighting each and every shot so that it looks professional and dramatic. What about editing? And sound? And color correction and studio heads and network mucky mucks and make up and production assistants and location scouts and first assistant directors and second assistant directors? Who rented that helicopter? Who designed and built and decorated all those sets? What about the guys at crafty who feed us so we’re not cranky?  What about the publicity ladies and the hair dept and stunts and special effects and the transportation guys who move the trucks and trailers around. Who’s keeping an eye on the money and casting all the guest stars telling the background actors where to move and when? Who is printing out scripts and formatting the rewrites? It’s just endless. We’re a large village of humans working towards putting out an entertaining 43 minutes of television each and every week. I am constantly grateful and overwhelmingly humbled to be one human in such a fabulously efficient, successful, and creative village.

We’re a large village of humans working towards putting out an entertaining 43 minutes of television each and every week.

She and I grew very very close over the past decade. I got to be with her on one of her final days, and I whispered all our inside jokes in her ear.  She drank single malt scotch every single day of her life - I even named my dog Scotch after her favorite drink (mine, too.) Nonnie, I know you’re up there enjoying a Dewar’s (rocks glass, ice on the side) and secretly gobbling up milk chocolate Easter bunnies (solid only, none of that cheap stuff) in that big closet in the sky.  Giving you a big, loud “kiss in ear!” Let’s all raise a glass to my late grandma, Marie “Nonnie” Foa! 🥃 .

Barrett Foa - 6.3K Likes - I recently unearthed this pic of 17-year-old Barrett at the final performance of Interlochen Arts Camp’s High School Operetta production of Gilbert & Sullivan’s THE GONDOLIERS. I was never a lead in the Operettas, so this captured my disbelief and “awe-shucks-ness” at being awarded Most Outstanding Male Chorus Member OF THE LAST 25 YEARS. A slightly ridiculous if somewhat significant honor since the casts were huge. (I was chosen out of 1,000 guys.) (Looking back, I think they were just blinded by all that blush and my 90s center part. 💁🏼‍♂️ #goldenarches)

I always liked performing in middle school, but the four glorious high school summers I spent at Interlochen Arts Camp plunged me headfirst into the dynamic, transformative, unifying power of The Arts.  It was there I grew from a 14-year-old boy who liked to play pretend to a 17-year-old artist utterly devoted to his craft.  For eight weeks and four summers, I stood side by side with student artists from all over the globe at the very top of their craft - from classical cellists to jazz percussionists, modern dancers to pottery makers, creative writers to Shakespearean actors - I was constantly in awe and constantly inspired.  It was pure magic.

Interlochen Public Radio recently interviewed me about my time at Interlochen, on Broadway, and on 11  seasons on NCIS: Los Angeles. The link to the article and radio interview are available in my bio. 

The arts can, will, and must keep thriving.  As a way to give back to an institution that gave me so much (including this preposterous award!), I established the Barrett Foa Endowed Scholarship in Theatre Arts.  I return to Interlochen every few years to meet my scholarship students, teach master classes, and relive the magical memories hidden around every corner. 

“Dedicated to the Promotion of World Friendship Though the Universal Language of the Arts”

Know what’s easy?  Shame.  It’s a piece of cake.  I’m fantastic at it.  And every day I’m tempted to build walls between me and myself. To expose someone else’s truth only to diminish it. Every time I do, separation happens.  Fear happens.

So... what if we all did the harder, scarier thing?  What if we all got:
MORE vulnerable. 
MORE sincere. 
MORE understanding. 
MORE supportive. 
MORE authentic.
More PROUD.

To expose someone else’s truth only to diminish it. Every time I do, separation happens. Fear happens. . So… what if we all did the harder, scarier thing? What if we all got: MORE vulnerable. MORE sincere. MORE understanding. MORE supportive. MORE authentic. More PROUD. . Who’s in? Who has guts? Who has PRIDE? 🙋🏼‍♂️ . . . . #Pride #PrideMonth #ncisla #LGBTequality #allweneedislove #Pride2019 #LGBTVisibility #LGBTally #gaypride #loveislove

Barrett Foa - 5.9K Likes - Read to the end for the story of how I got Annette Bening’s (4x Academy Award-nominated) digits in my phone.  (Yeah, we text now 🤳🏽💬)  

I recently had the honor of meeting Annette Bening while picketing in support of the Screen Actors Guild and our sister union, the Writers Guild of America. What a trip to be marching outside the iconic gates of Paramount Studios (where I spent 12 years of my life shooting over 275 episodes of NCIS: Los Angeles) next to my longtime co-star and bestie, @reneefelicesmith (and director @directedbypaul ) As about 100 of us gathered, Annette introduced herself as Chair of the Board of Trustees at the Entertainment Community Fund (formerly The Actors Fund), @alifeinthearts letting everyone there know that the Fund is a safety net for EVERYONE in the entertainment industry - particularly in times of great need. If you or anyone you know needs a hand right now, please reach out to them for help with everything from rent, to medical care, to grocery bills, to health insurance counseling, to mental health support.  The Fund helps not only actors and writers, but all arts workers: camera operators, dancers, stage managers, casting directors, electrical grips, comedians, prop masters, theatre ushers, you name it!EntertainmentCommunity.org

Okay, the fun part: After her speech, I introduce myself as Vice President of the Board of @every_day_action and tell her about the incredible work we do every day (rescue uneaten catered meals from film and TV sets [otherwise destined for the dumpster] - and donate them directly to our food-insecure and unhoused neighbors all over LA). I then tell her how Every Day Action has started working closely with the Entertainment Community Fund by delivering fresh meals to 2 of their housing facilities.  She lights up and says, “You MUST to take my number.” My heart stops.  I hesitate and before I can inhale, she grabs my phone and enters her (4x Academy Award-nominated) digits.  

Yeah. We’re basically besties.
Annette - I’m huge fan of your incredible work on screen.  But I’m a true fanboy for your generosity towards those in need.  Thank you.

Voting in CA just got even easier:
- Same Day Voter Registration
- Early in-person voting
- Mail-in ballots *postmarked* March 3
- Ballot drop boxes at polls and other locations like libraries 🙋🏼‍♂️ Does your state make it this easy to vote? If not, ask why. Then do something about it!

Barrett Foa - 4.9K Likes - Unearthed this delicious pic of Nick Cordero at the 2014 Tony Awards when he was nominated for Best Featured Actor in a Musical for BULLETS OVER BROADWAY.  I was the on-air backstage host and social media correspondent that year and after our interview I asked if we could do an impromptu tap dance together which I wish I had video of. On Jan 15, 2020, I was lucky enough to see Nick shine as Dennis on opening night of ROCK OF AGES in Hollywood. Nick passed away on July 5, 2020 from COVID-19 complications. He was 364 days younger than me. It’s a short ride. Be kind. Rest In Peace.

Barrett Foa - 4.7K Likes - When I was a 20 years old, a 40 year old mentor of mine put a copy of ANGELS IN AMERICA Parts 1 & 2 in my hands and said, “One day you’ll be in this.” I knew I was reading a work of genius. A masterpiece of the American Theatre.  These plays won the Pulitzer Prize and every Tony Award under the sun.  But be IN them?  Never.  I was a musical theatre chorus boy working in summer stock.  I would never be in a play this important.  I would never be old enough. Smart enough.  A good enough actor.  Never be brave enough to face its themes much less portray them truthfully.  I would never be fierce enough, fabulous enough, flamboyant enough, weird enough. Awesome enough. 
21 years later, I have been cast in ANGELS IN AMERICA Parts 1 & 2 at The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis, one of the best regional theatres in the country.  I am playing Prior Walter, a gay New Yorker living with AIDS in 1985 - one of the scariest times to be alive in recent history. And here I am: old enough, smart enough, GOOD ENOUGH.  Living in my power and tapping into everything in me that is unapologetically and openly gay, grounded, fierce, funny, flamboyant, and fabulous, sure, but also, intelligent, tough, wonderful, nasty, strong, gross... and brave.

“These days, I’m finding that my pride grows out of really knowing what I stand for. It takes hard work - it can be scary to do that deep dive. But think about it, if you’re proud of who you are, then the next generation can feel free to express themselves without fear. We all stand on the shoulders of the brave leaders who came before us. The LGBTQ  liberation movement that started in New York City at the Stonewall Inn 51 years ago was a riot - against police - led by strong, proud, Black trans women. Here we are half a century later, being asked, yet again, to stand up for what’s right. So do the work, look inside, and lend your voice. Be proud of what you stand for. Happy Pride.” 🏳️‍🌈 #CBSPride #pridemonth #gaypride #gay #pride

Barrett Foa - 3.2K Likes - A few weeks ago, I had the absolute pleasure of teaching 50 incredible humans in Santa Maria, CA.  The students of Pioneer Valley High School and their theatre teacher @selynharwin could not have been more welcoming, daring, connected, open, trusting, or talented. 

After I led them through warms ups (inspired by @therealalexandrabillings @emilystellafletcher and @zivameditation) I had the privilege of coaching them on songs and monologues. 

These young actors were tacking big, rich, mature material: “Being Alive” from COMPANY, “She Used To Be Mine” from WAITRESS, “Roxie” and “When You’re Good to Mama” (from their upcoming production of CHICAGO) and knocking every song out of the proverbial park. 

Perhaps my favorite moment of the day was one student who sang “This is Me” from THE GREATEST SHOWMAN.  He was a bit timid out of the gate, but then he opened up about how he plays sports, but he feels his true spirit come alive when in the presence of his theatre community. I asked him to sing the song again - this time to his parents and football coach. He dug deep, accepted the challenge, and blossomed right before our eyes.  As he sang, his body and his purpose came online, and suddenly all 50 kids were waving their phone flashlights from the audience like he was headlining a rock concert. Tears were streaming. It was one of those breakthrough moments every mentor and student dreams of and I’ll never forget it. 

Risks were being taken. Habits were being broken. “Ah-ha!” revelations were being made. We were all having so much fun that I stayed way past my scheduled 2 hours, and I got to cap off the day with a song. 

It was a joyous, rewarding, celebratory afternoon that reminded us all of  the importance of art, connection, storytelling, truth, craft, and the sense of community that only theatre can provide. I am forever changed.

As he sang, his body and his purpose came online, and suddenly all 50 kids were waving their phone flashlights from the audience like he was headlining a rock concert. Tears were streaming. It was one of those breakthrough moments every mentor and student dreams of and I’ll never forget it. Risks were being taken. Habits were being broken. “Ah-ha!” revelations were being made. We were all having so much fun that I stayed way past my scheduled 2 hours, and I got to cap off the day with a song. It was a joyous, rewarding, celebratory afternoon that reminded us all of the importance of art, connection, storytelling, truth, craft, and the sense of community that only theatre can provide. I am forever changed.

Barrett Foa - 3.2K Likes - A few weeks ago, I had the absolute pleasure of teaching 50 incredible humans in Santa Maria, CA.  The students of Pioneer Valley High School and their theatre teacher @selynharwin could not have been more welcoming, daring, connected, open, trusting, or talented. 

After I led them through warms ups (inspired by @therealalexandrabillings @emilystellafletcher and @zivameditation) I had the privilege of coaching them on songs and monologues. 

These young actors were tacking big, rich, mature material: “Being Alive” from COMPANY, “She Used To Be Mine” from WAITRESS, “Roxie” and “When You’re Good to Mama” (from their upcoming production of CHICAGO) and knocking every song out of the proverbial park. 

Perhaps my favorite moment of the day was one student who sang “This is Me” from THE GREATEST SHOWMAN.  He was a bit timid out of the gate, but then he opened up about how he plays sports, but he feels his true spirit come alive when in the presence of his theatre community. I asked him to sing the song again - this time to his parents and football coach. He dug deep, accepted the challenge, and blossomed right before our eyes.

Barrett Foa - 3.1K Likes - Last night’s Vineyard Theatre gala where I got to perform as my old pal Rod from AVENUE Q (closing after an incredible 16 year run!) My forearm muscles will be sore for a week, but it was worth it getting to wiggle a puppet around and have Rod unabashedly flirt with the uber-talented and game Brandon Victor Dixon. 
I leave you with two corny jokes I came up with for last night’s sketch:
Rod: My my my, Brandon Victor Dixon. I’ve always wanted to get into a pair of BVDs!
Rod: Brandon, I loved you in Jesus Christ Superstar. Care to betray me with a... Judas kiss?
