So, a couple weeks ago my friend Sarah (Hi Sarah!) came to visit me, and saw my Spring Awakening vocal selections. She took it out, and said "Oh, Jonathan Wright, you went to Cranbrook Theater School."
I was confused - I did in fact go to camp with someone named Jon Wright, but what did that have to do with Spring Awakening?
Turns out that a kid I went to summer theater camp with was Hanschen in the original cast of SA. I'm currently listening to the original cast recording, and it's SO BIZARRE because he sounds just like he used to, but of course I never noticed. There are pictures of him in the vocal selection book, which I've looked at, and I never noticed.
Also funny: on his Wiki page (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_B._Wright) it says that he played Romeo in R&J at CTS. This is not actually true - he played Romeo in a one scene from R&J as part of a larger project called "Elements." I was also in that scene. That makes me cool.
He's in Nick and Norah's Ultimate Playlist, which I wanted to see anyway, but now I really want to.
In other news, I'm in Lamont "writing a paper" for English 10a. Blahhhhh. I'm about 400 words in, out of 1500. Yes, I know, a 1500 page paper is NOT a big deal, but when it's on early English lit it's just awful. Anyone know anything about narrative duality in The Wanderer and its religious implication? Anyone? Bueller?
