1/3 As I don my Russian costume and enter the Ukrainian village of Anatevka during this evening's production of Fiddler on the Roof, my thoughts will be with the people of Ukraine who are yet again subjects of Russian aggression.
3/4 My heart breaks seeing the fear and terror on the faces of Ukrainian families and I can’t even begin to imagine what it’s like to be a father of young children there right now. My soul grieves for all the innocent lives being threatened by Putin’s warpath.
4/4 I’m praying and hoping for a peaceful ending, no matter how bleak it looks. #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦
