Congratulations to Michael R. Jackson and the company of @StrangeLoopBway for winning best book and best musical! Here's a picture of the Michael R. Jackson, generously Zooming with my doc sem last year! Hooray!!

A year and a half after Michael R. Jackson Zoomed into my seminar and talked with my students about @StrangeLoopBway, I finally got to see his brilliant, poignant, and hilarious show last night! Thank you, Michael!!
