When I was in college I was a typical 1980’s arrogant jerk (pause for everyone to ask “So - what has changed?”) I went from a small college in my hometown to the theatre program at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts and I thought, with my typical smugness, that I was going to rocket to Broadway stardom even before I finished my first semester. I was a poor kid on scholarships who was working my way through an expensive education through sheer force of will, and I was determined not to blow it.
