Editorial Reviews

Review

We communicate. That’s what theater people do. We reach out in the dark to illuminate the human condition. Cut off by the COVID lockdown it's amazing, although not surprising, that the theater people in this book still found ways to let the people in the dark know - You are not alone.

-- Harvey Fierstein, American actor and playwright

Andrew is the creator of—When the Lights Are Bright Again: letters and images of loss, hope and resilience from the theater community—published by Applause Books.

Andrew is a proud, queer man who strives to normalize male vulnerability. His upcoming memoir—Defining Brave: a young mans journey through grief and romance leads him to resiliently embrace who he is—is fueled by his deep desire to champion young men and teens to speak up, live their truth, and not apologize for who they are. It also addresses his difficult and yet transformative relationship with his mother and her own struggle with his queerness.
