This time you'll catch the Rainbow!

From the time I was three years old I have always wanted to be an entertainer. This is no revelation to those of you who read this who know me personally. I have been acting in theater since the age of 10, and I have met many talented people but this post is about one friend in particular, Jason Marks. I met Jason 5 years ago. We were both doing "Follies" at the Dell. We have worked in a few shows together since then, but I really got to know Jason as a person last summer when we did "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" also at the Dell. Jason played Pseudolys, and he was amazing!!! I loved working with him and watching his performance. He is in a contest right now called BIG BROADWAY BREAK. Today is the last day to vote. You have until 11:59 PM June 25th to cast a vote.
Why should you vote for him, you say? Well, if you listen to the performance, there will be no question. It's flawless! He belongs on Broadway! There is a group on Facebook devoted to Jason's involvement in this contest. Every day he has shared a story with us about his dream. I've loved reading those stories and getting an insight into his passion. I am rooting for you, Jason. That bluebird is going to be on your window sill yet!
