Pax Ressler

Thanks for considering, friends! DM me and let’s talk. ✨ See my BI0 for more info about the show.

Glad to share a little about this wonderful show!

Poor Judge, a play that features the music of Aimee Mann, is wildly stretched and reformed into “a live music mixtape is part spy story, part woeful tale of lost loves, and part Hollywood audition.”

We caught up with its star, Pax Ressler, to chat about the play, the community around it, and what it’s like to, in this case, live inside the work of two great artists simultaneously — in this case, both Aimee Mann and Dito van Reigersberg.

My heart is full from our first audience! I started rehearsals a week ago, and have been carried by an amazing team. ❤️ Poor Judge () is back at the !

Come see this beautiful show created by Dito (), Eva (), and Alex () in collaboration with a dream team of Philly’s finest—Emily Bate, Josh Machiz, Izzy Sazak, Jackie Soro and Josh Machiz! ✨ Photos by

Pay What You Wilma tickets are available online or at the door (suggested amount $10). Last preview tonight! 🌱

Please come see this show that Dito (), Eva (), and Alex () created with an ensemble of wondrous actor-musicians. I started rehearsals for Poor Judge this week, and have been attempting to fill my friend Dito’s gigantic shoes—but more importantly, to simply be of use to this production, which was one of my favorite things I’ve ever seen in Philly when it premiered last year. Luckily, I’m surrounded by dear friends as I learn ( ), and very grateful for their friendship. I hope we’ll see you here for this stunner.

Big announcement just dropped. Need I say more? 👀

Come see the DOLLS May 9-17. Tix for GIRL DOLLS: The American Musical (produced in collaboration with and ) are on sale now.

Au revoir, Paris! 🇫🇷 After four months, I’m headed back to Philadelphia. I’ve never been so simultaneously glad to come home, and devastated to leave where I am. Paris really captured my heart and l learned a lot—about myself, about the world, and some French. ✨

Here are some photos from a trip to Venice and our last days in Paris. Thank you to my wonderful partner Rose for conspiring on this sabbatical with me. ❤️ I feel full, grateful, and ready for our next adventure. Can’t wait to see you, friends!

Friends! I miss you! Here is some of my Europe summer in scattered photos from Paris, Fontainebleau, Berlin, Dieulefit, Toulouse, and Rome. Venice coming forthwith.

I’m amazed and grateful for this time to learn and recharge. I’m making new card games, writing and playing lots of music, contemplating f a $ c i $ t governments in our time and a century ago. I feel really full.

I’m missing Philly and exited to count down the days until we get back, while saying a slow au revoir to Paris for the next 10 days. I’LL BE BACK SOON!

I’m sending a flurry of photos from France to let you know that I’m alive and feeling very grateful for this time. 🌱 While I settle into life here, I’ve also had twinges of missing home in Philadelphia. ✨ This time away has really stretched and fulfilled me—I’m writing lots of music, spending time with friends, dreaming about future projects, and traveling (most recently to Avignon, Frankfurt, Edinburgh). Please feel free to reach out! I’d love to hear from you. 💜
