we were just pretending

"I guess I like that idea that you could pretend yourself into new feelings and new relationships. Obviously I'm a big pretender. but the kind of leap where it's almost like some kind of science fiction thing happens. Like we were just pretending, and then what's this? We actually have new powers now, and we see each other differently, and in fact all of life has suddenly tilted. I'm going for that everyday, personally."

February House cast album comes out on October 16. Pre-order here and download a track immediately. 

Kristen Sieh as Carson McCullers, singing about the Coney Island freak show. So glad they did a recording of this show, and this song in particular.

I just saw February House at the Public Theater and now I’m kind of obsessed with this story. A crumbling Victorian in Brooklyn Heights in 1940 that was co-inhabited by George Davis, Carson McCullers, W.H. Auden, Benjamin Britten, Gypsy Rose Lee, and like 30 other awesome art/lit types.
