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.

We may need a road trip across state for this one!
