These are the oldest photos on my phone, taken on April 13, 2024—my birthday! 🎉 Backstage at the theatre, of course. The first two pictures feature my colleague since 2007, David Julio, who I first worked with on *Rivierans Guldgossar* (*Dirty Rotten Scoundrels*) at Cirkus in Stockholm. Originally from Boston, he came to Sweden in the late '70s to study art for a year… and never left! Now he has a husband, a stunning apartment, and a summer house in the Stockholm archipelago. Not bad for a guy who planned a short stay! 🏡✨
In the photos, he’s posing while I hold out a plate with a piece of vegan "cake" 🍰 (a candle included, of course!) to celebrate my birthday.
The third picture shows his gift to me—a parcel full of even more cakes and cookies. He *gets* me. 😍
The fourth picture is of Hjalmar Freij, fully in drag 💃🏼 backstage, just before Act 2. The energy in these moments is something I live for—friendship, theatre, and a little bit of fabulous chaos. 🎭❤️
The fifth picture is this text as an image. I asked chatgpt to turn it into a photolike image.
There’s something special about celebrating your birthday at work, surrounded by people who have become like family. Some friendships last forever, and some cakes disappear in minutes! 😉 What’s the best backstage birthday you’ve ever had? Let me know in the comments! 🎈🎶
