I've had an action packed weekend, culminating in my succumbing to the ragweed allergy I deal with every fall. Ugh. My highlights included: volunteering at my town's all-day field day, and seeing The Purists by the Huntington Theatre Company!
I ate way too much pizza, signed in volunteers, and ran errands all day long, but I also had so much fun being outside and volunteering. I love feeling useful, and I've been involved with this community event for a long time, so it was truly rewarding to return for the day. On Sunday, I saw The Purists, which was funny and powerful and also DIRECTED BY BILLY PORTER? WHAAAT?? The play centers around these men who sit on a stoop in Queens most days and talk about rap and hip-hop, and whose world changes when two female emcees have an impromptu rap battle one day. I loved the scenic design. Absolutely hats off to Clint Ramos for bringing the stoop to life. Every detail was accounted for, and the levels were insane. The whole thing was properly proportioned to be an apartment building, and I lost my mind when one actor ascended to his third-floor "apartment." If you're able, go see The Purists before their run ends on October 6!
