The Volume Knob

17/11/2024

17 years ago, in the smallest hours of the morning, I drove home from the hospital, down the Main, to get something for your mom. She had just spent the last 36 hours giving birth to you. It was grey, cold and a little icy and the few people who were on the sidewalks were making themselves small under layers of wool and polar fleece.

What I remember most about that morning, those first few minutes of your life that I spent away from you, is a feeling that every single one of the people I saw on those sidewalks once had someone love them in the all-encompassing, world-swallowing way that I loved you in that moment (and still do now).

Happy Birthday. And all of the love. and I are prouder of you than you can imagine.

Really, ? You know I love you, but if it’s too early for Halloween biz (and we all know it is) then it is DEFINITELY too early to be busting out the Christmas gear.

Stop it.

So proud (and a little stunned) to find out that The List has been nominated for two awards. Most Promising Storytelling Show and Most Promising Text.

Come out while you still can! Audiences have called it “masterful” “beautiful” “incredibly funny and profoundly vulnerable” and there are only two chances to see it at this year’s festival! Tomorrow at 3:30 and Sunday at 5:15.
