@nytimes: Tessa Thompson is playing Jacki Miles in “The Fear of 13.” After a decade away from theater, she opened up about rediscovering the magic of live performance, from building a scene in real time with her castmates to feeding off the energy of an audience night after night.

In Haiti, we want Toussaint Louverture International Airport to remain open. The airport cannot be closed to civilians while being used as a military base for Americans. If the airport must close, it should be closed to everyone, no exceptions."
