Hello, world!

This is my first blog post in a quest to help make the world sparkle a bit more. I’m a performer, improviser, director, and teacher living in NYC. I go by 'Philip Sparkle' sometimes onstage! I wrote a one-man show called Sparkle Hour (my coming out story to become "Philip Sparkle!") and a follow-up Sparkle Death (about killing off "Philip Sparkle!"). I've been interviewing people I think exemplify their inner sparkle via a podcast I'm calling 'Sparkelcast!' I host a variety show every month called The Sparkle Zone...my instagram is @philipsparkle...you get it, it's a nightmare, but it's my branding at this point!  

And the thing I'm most proud of in my life is launching and being a part of the NY branch of the infamous Annoyance Theatre. As of today, I have stepped down from running the Annoyance NY to assume the full-time status of being funemployed and commit to being a full-time artist and teacher.  

Why did I step down? I think I’ll start by sharing a poem I wrote:
