Back in high school you were the acting standard for me: I wanted to be as good as Brendan O'Malley. I don't know why, but for some reason I'm pleased to have been in roughly 10% of the same plays as you (not counting individual performances of Looking Glass). I was in Puss in Boots (one of my first plays and even I don't remember what part I had, one of the guards or something with 1 or 2 lines), Diary of Anne Frank (with our guerilla performance that night that Mrs. McNeil canceled because of snow and we did the show anyway), Joseph and His Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (you, me, and one other guy doing a show at an all-girls school . . . that was fun for all the obvious reasons), and the Imaginary Invalid.
Of course, that was all a long, long time ago.
Oh eons and eons! yes, our career paths were quite parallel for a time there! i don't think we took enough advantage of the girl/boy ratio over at Prout though. we really should have been scoring left and right no matter how goofy we were.
Speak for yourself, I was totally making out with the girl who played the narrator . . . I think her name was Susan. I do remember, she was a good kisser. :)
you are a stinker.
