Seriously, it's true: they're a couple.

I experienced a moment of shock today.  One of my favorite actresses is dating a "Mormon celebrity." I feel like two worlds have collided.

So I was just doing my normal breeze through the google reader and came across some buzz about Will Swenson.  He's directing a movie about a Mormon couple dealing with their gay son's suicide.  It's called Facing East and it will be based on the original play version.  

I didn't recognize Will by name, but I definitely recognized his face. He's The Singles Ward star! (with much longer hair in this photo)

And he's dating Audra McDonald!!! Audra McDonald is a Fresno native who is also a Broadway, TV and film actress.  She won a Tony for her role as Sarah in my favorite musical, Ragtime. So I'm a pretty big fan of hers.
