Good news from Mr. Brian. Next fall, he's got a nice-sized supporting role in "The History Boys" at the Repertory Theatre of St. Louis! Wow! The kid's movin' pretty fast! And those that know him and have studied with him know that good news like this couldn't find a more humble, devoted and deserving young man to visit.

It's so exciting to get calls like this from actors -- and I don't care if they're about a major regional theatre like this one or about your first gig at a startup fringe theatre -- they all give me goosebumps to get them.

Congratulations, Mr. Brian. Stay on top of your sophomore year at Webster and enjoy knowing you're headed for big things.

Jessica started working with me when she was 13! She's now 20 and in college in Boston. Jessica's a singer with the voice of an angel. And an actor with huge heart. I hope we get to see her back at ATS over the summer break. AG
