I mean, I have an opera that I'm writing for the Cincinnati Opera about John Lewis. And that— The Boy from Troy, right? Well, the title ended up being Good Trouble: The Boy from Troy.
Oh, okay.
They wanted to incorporate good trouble into it since that's something that people really associate with him. So the piano vocal workshop is taking place in October, and then I will be back to working on that.
And, um, in case you missed this incredible season finale featuring Dr. Maria Thompson Corley, watch the entire episode on our YouTube channel or listen everywhere on podcasts today.
