Hello y’all!
Long time no see!
I’m not coming back to this platform in any real way, but when I logged on to grab an image tonight, there were enough messages sitting in my inbox that I figured I owed you all a look into what I’ve been up to
So hi. My name is Margaret Hall. I wrote A BOOK! It is called GEMIGNANI: Life and Lessons from Broadway and Beyond, and it is a biography of Paul Gemignani, Stephen Sondheim’s longtime music director and right hand man. I started working on that project right around the same time I left tumblr, and it has completely transformed my life.
I am now a professional musical theatre historian, and I am the Night and Weekend Editor for Playbill.com. I get to write about theatre for a living, instead of just infodumping in the tags of posts like I used to on here, I’ve given TedTalks and lectured at universities, and I even found the time to fall head over heels in love with who I have become. Every day I pinch myself because I am so grateful to be living my dream life.
To my Twilight family; I certainly haven’t forgotten you! I’m still moderating the subreddit, and I am now the actress who portrays Jessica Stanley in the sanctioned recreations in Forks Washington; this past fall we did the wedding from Breaking Dawn, and I am so grateful to officially have my own Forks Family.
So yeah. Hi. I hope you have all been taking care of yourselves. Like I said, I’m not coming back in any real way, but I do log on every six months or so to source random things, so feel free to give me a wave if you need me. I am @itsmargarethall on all socials now, and would love to see you over there if you’d like to connect.
And as always, remember: You are so loved, and the world is truly worthwhile.
