Meet the characters of “You Are Cordially Invited to the End of the World!” Today, meet Viv, played by Alysia Reiner. VIV is slightly neurotic and easy to get riled, but she desperately wants to savor every last minute with her dying husband, Greg. She’s wondering how the hell she can fix it all. _____________________________ You Are Cordially Invited to the End of the World! by Keiko Green directed by Zi Alikhan Apr. 5 – May 3, 2025 Take your seat for a comic, irreverent celebration of life! Since Greg’s terminal diagnosis, he’s felt a deep connection to the Earth—and to save himself, he’ll need to save the planet. Viv desperately wants to savor every last minute with her husband. Meanwhile M, our emcee, searches desperately to find meaning in the chaos of their final year with Dad. A heartfelt family story and joyful theatrical event, as magical as the world itself.
This was a seminal moment for me. This man who was not only an extraordinary actor and director and producer, but who uplifted so many of us. Gave us a chance, a community, a “summer camp on ecstasy” as Phil Hoffman called The Lab. Can we dim all the lights at every movie theatre in America? Thank you Robert. For your art & vision, kindness & encouragements. Meeting you, this conversation, was truly a highlight of my life. #RIP

Yesterday we marched and we sang. In the largest day of US demonstrations in history, the @resistancerevivalchorus joined Queens NY to demand No Kings… and more. We sang and chanted in solidarity with each other, with our fellow marchers, with Queens, and we spoke the words of Assata Shakur. We also chanted “I am anti-fascist” in unison with the crowds — in case there was any doubt – standing against fascism (ahem, antifa = anti-fascist) is perhaps the most American thing one can do to stand for our constitution and our democracy, however flawed. Protests are not going to fix anything by themselves, but they are far more than performative parades. And in this moment we need it all. Showing up in the streets is just one way to fight back. As @mspackyetti “threaded” (???) yesterday, “No Kings Day is a demonstration and a march. It’s not a protest, or a strike, or a walkout, or an uprising. And that’s not only perfectly ok, that’s actually *one way* movements get built: The March on Washington was one. So was the Million Man March. So was the March for Our Lives. Organized. Permitted. W a start & end time. Public demonstrations often are an entry point for new folks to get active ongoing, and many folks behind No Kings are literal experts at that.” She says a lot more, in smarter ways than me. Highly recommend following her. Anyway, here are a few pix from Queens! 10.18.25 📸 = me. And 🎵🎤🎶 by @thevaleriejune x @resistancerevivalchorus 💕 #nokings

Legend. Icon. Inspiration. Outrageous talent, style, and unmatched kindness. One of a kind & forever missed. My heart hurts bad today. So much loss this week. I feel like you are talking just to me today when I read: “I feel just the same way I’ve always felt about whatever comes my way. If it’s okay, then I can manage it. Or maybe if I feel like I’m not really that comfortable, I’m going to learn something from somebody….I know what I am by now. So if something appeals to me, I’m definitely going to go for it.” But I bet we ALL feel that way? Rest in peace & power @diane_keaton And if you haven’t, read her book!! 📕 #rip #icon #dianekeaton #legend #inspiration #singleandproud #mentor

Happy New Year & Fall Equinox. As I play this spiritual character, I feel so lucky to embody & PLAY in these unearthly realms as planet earth is dealing with some serious challenges right now. I got to see a favorite spiritual being this weekend- beloved @gurmukh108 reminded me of all the good in humanity.. and to keep looking for how we are similar, not different. Sending so much love to all. Love and listening and wonder. Thank you @jeremyredleaf for this incredible opportunity & @kaiyacarlin for this flawless LEWK! 🪐🌏🙏🏻❤️ Also this quote from Rabbi Joanna Samuels says it all this 5786: Our actions matter, our words matter, our choices matter: they create worlds. In this coming year, I hope that we will each take action to build the world that we wish to live in: one of greater tolerance and less violence, more caring and less polarization. To this end, I hope that we will commit ourselves to Shmirat Lashon, guarding our speech. We must discipline ourselves to express our views with moderation and compassion, even when we feel strongly. We may think we are convincing others with our passion and certainty. More likely, we are hardening their pre-existing opinions—and our own.” – Rabbi Joanna Samuels #happynewyears #5786 #shanatova #fallequinox
Last Wednesday as part of Climate Week, we were delighted to join celebrities and changemakers for an energizing conversation on the impact and momentum behind the Retire Big Oil campaign, which calls on the $4 billion SAG-Producers Pension Plan to divest from fossil fuels. The panel included Stand Executive Director Todd Paglia, Sphere Founder and CEO Alex Wright-Goldstein, and actors and @sagaftra members Alysia Reiner @alysiareiner (Orange is the New Black, The Diplomat), Daphe Rubin Vega @daphnerubinvega (In The Heights, Rent), and Miss Peppermint @peppermint247 (RuPaul’s Drag Race, Survival of the Thickest). Divesting from fossil fuels and choosing climate safe retirement options is one of the most impactful climate actions that we individually and collectively can take. Learn more and take action to support these efforts at RetireBigOil.org and watch more of the conversation with SAG-AFTRA members at the link in our bio. #ClimateWeekNYC2025 #ClimateWeekNYC
