Medea

There is a thespian in the family.
Wyatte was in the Salem University production of Medea.
They performed in the Black Box theater - a small room (90 seats) painted completely black.  The sets were impressive with the wood painted to look like marble.
We had seats right down front stage left.
Do you know the story of Medea?  It's not a comedy.  There is a lot of wailing.  Everyone is distraught.  Wyatte and his theater brother are murdered off stage and a black sack is dragged on stage as if they were in it, leaving a trail of blood.  The perfect play for a beautiful spring afternoon.

After the show I put on a workshop I like to call "Anguish 101".
Wyatte, of course, needs no workshop.  He's already got the chops and the post production pose.
I'm ready for my close up, Gramma Jen.
When Wyatte is the new Brad Pitt we'll be able to say we knew him when he was just starting out.
